Maybe now someone can start up a Phix tribute act and clean up.

Or perhaps, "Joannie Chachi & The Underworld Twins"

"The Age Of Aquarium" "The Spidermen" "Rollerband" ...plus I still really like "Bale"

Wow, Keltner. That dude is supposedly very, very expensive to hire.

Along with the Flecktones, so far I'm liking the Bluesfest choices this year. Jerry Lee Lewis to play Bluesfest The Ottawa Citizen Published: Wednesday, January 24, 2007 Jerry Lee Lewis, one of the early architects of rock 'n' roll, appears to be headed to Bluesfest this summer. According to information from the artist's record label, the 71-year-old singer-songwriter-pianist will play Ottawa on July 12. Bluesfest officials declined to confirm the news, but say they plan to announce the entire lineup of headliners at a press conference on April 25. Ottawa biggest music festival runs from July 6 to 15 in its spacious new LeBreton Flats location on the grounds of the Canadian War Museum. Lewis, nicknamed The Killer, has been pumping the piano keys since the 1950s, striking gold with singles such as Whole Lotta Shaking Going On, Great Balls of Fire and Good Golly Miss Molly, while his tastes for wine, women and guns generated plenty of controversy in the early years. After a long period of silence, rock's original bad boy released a fine new album last fall, his first studio effort since 1995. Last Man Standing is a collection of duets featuring Lewis playing his heart out with superstar artists such as B.B. King, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Willie Nelson and Eric Clapton. His daughter, Phoebe Lewis, who's also his manager (and the product of Lewis's scandalous third marriage to his 13-year-old second cousin in the 1950s) maintains a blog on his website, www.jerryleelewis.com. In a recent posting, she writes that "Daddy could be taking it easy and basking in the well-deserved admiration earned from years and years of performing in front of audiences around the world." But, she adds: "Jerry Lee Lewis loves what he does and what he loves most is to entertain the folks that spend their hard earned money on a ticket."

On it.

On it!

Kelly Leak was certainly an early hero of mine.

More raving than ranting. Once again, sure am glad I'm not 'merican.

If Avril's in I might just go after all.

Ironic that WWIII began before WWI.

Man, that is in poor taste. And I can hardly type 'cuz I can't stop laughing.

Damn well done.

Johnny Clegg Presented by Centrepointe Theatre and Cisco Systems Bluesfest Wednesday, February 21 at 8 p.m. Buy Tickets For over three decades, Johnny Clegg has been bringing his politically charged yet joyous music to the world. His concerts have a potent and unique fusion of traditional Zulu music with Western folk and rock rhythms characterized by the bands Juluka and Savuka. Sometimes called "The White Zulu", he is an important figure in South African popular music history, with songs that mix Zulu and English lyrics, and African, European, and Celtic music styles. First with Juluka in the 1980s and, later, Savuka in the 90s, his new, truly infectious sound, combined with an unyielding stance against Apartheid, brought international success and made him a cultural phenomenon not only in South Africa but around the world. With their high-energy, dance-filled performances Savuka became one of the most popular world music bands of the time, touring the world and selling millions of albums. Today, Johnny Clegg remains active in South African affairs and culture while continuing to create and perform music. With a band that features some of South Africa’s finest musicians, he offers a mix of his classic songs and anthems, where Zulu dance numbers meet reggae, hip-hop, jazz, and rock influences.

I'm really gonna miss After Hours jazz from 10-midnite.

This is fantastic news.

And if Ella Fitzgerald married Darth Vader...

A drawing of my left foot is a cover page in the international medical encyclopedia from the year 2000. And I coined the term "Urban legend."

Well now, isn't this gonna be a fun weekend at Mavericks!?!? The Spades Friday and the Bus on Saturday. Nice. And drunk.

As I recall the Bill's Bar show was a one night stand, but we did go as an offshoot to see Phish and/or the Dead on the same trip.

If you need some stock pics pm me with your email addy.

Saw them at Bill's Bar in Boston in '95 or so with Carstairs. The place was maybe smaller than Mavericks and it seemed like the audience was 100% Canadian. Good times.

Smart move.
