Carried Away…

Hayden put on a great show at the Tractor Tavern on Tuesday night. He had Cuff the Duke along as his backing band and they did a perfect job of recreating the records. Anyway, it was perfect. You all should have been there.
Haley Bonar opened and was a delightful surprise. Click [...]

No occasion.

Today has been a very welcome break from a week of engagements and overtime. I decided to open the rouge-hued bottle of Sun Garden Pinot Noir (2005 vintage). No occasion. Just decided to take a break from the $4 Cabernet that I tend to choose when I’m on my own (no one [...]

It was a tough room.

Last night Jaymay graced the Tractor Tavern. As she said at a couple of different times in the set, it was a tough room. The more I go to shows on Saturday nights the more I appreciate week night shows. There were about 30 people right at the front [...]

I sound like a man & my throat’s on fire.

With a strange bit of misfortune, we’re both ill on the evening of the Lightspeed Champion show that I’ve been looking forward to since the first time I heard “Devil Tricks For a Bitch” (so pretty, so biting).

“So much for running when no one stays to wait.”

Chris introduced me to this lovely girl a month or so ago. Anna Ternheim slays me. She creeps up a bit slowly. Please take a moment at her myspace and listen to a few tracks from her album “Halfway to Fivepoints”.

Some after school nostalgia…

The Prom

The past few days to and from work I’ve been working on my podcast of the This American Life that aired on May 25, 2008 aptly titled “Prom”. It does seem appropriate since it is Spring time and high schools are wrapping up about now. I learned that Sweet Valley High author Francine [...]
