where is the highway? and the homemade loving kind?

Planning a show at South Park Tavern for friends Tin Armor and mystery act. It will be St. Patrick's day, which is perfect for for SPT as they have only the highest quality beer selection should be a packed house easily. I will tout it as "The jam, the breakfast ham, and the jelly" when it comes time to promote it once everything comes together.

I picked two books and a guitar player magazine which takes a peak into Clarence White's bag-of tricks. The books: "This Wheel's On Fire" Levon Helm's biography, and "Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung" Lester Bang's collected works. I'm going to be enjoying myself.

I've been listening to Michael Hurley, The Unholy Modal Rounders and Jeffery Frederick, and The Clamtone's 1975 masterpiece "Have Moicy!". I cannot get enough of this record and more likely than not will be staying in that really long playlist of 10 records or so. When I first heard it I was grinning from ear to ear. I'm glad someone had the talent and insight to craft a record like that. What is really surprising is that it took them two weeks to record it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZA7OT3Ib5I here is one song off the record, and yes, they're all this good.

Also, Guitar Paradise In East Africa, which is the most amazing compilation I've ever laid hands on. Sticky Fingers has been doing it for me also. I'm feeling really good lately. Until next.
