"I'll Fly Away" is a beautiful traditional spiritual tune. One of the livelier versions I've heard was done by The Word (The North Mississippi All Stars, John Medeski and Robert Randolph), and is entirely instrumental.

Damn, beat me to it. Welcome (officially) aboard, nibbler.

Linko By Associated Press STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Metallica may be a cool name for a heavy metal band, but a Swedish couple is struggling to convince officials it is also suitable for a baby girl. Michael and Karolina Tomaro are locked in a court battle with Swedish authorities, which rejected their application to name their six-month-old child after the legendary rock band. Mobile News | Subscribe Online | Order Reprints Lehigh Valley Local Links "It suits her," Karolina Tomaro, 27, said Tuesday of the name. "She's decisive and she knows what she wants." Although little Metallica has already been baptized, the Swedish National Tax Board refused to register the name, saying it was associated with both the rock group and the word "metal." Tomaro said the official handling the case also called the name "ugly." The couple was backed by the County Administrative Court in Goteborg, which ruled on March 13 that there was no reason to block the name. It also noted that there already is a woman in Sweden with Metallica as a middle name. The tax agency appealed to a higher court, frustrating the family's foreign travel plans. "We've had to cancel trips and can't get anywhere because we can't get her a passport without an approved name," Tomaro said.

When I did promotion I couldn't believe what some bands asked for. There are definitely bands that try and push the rider as far as they can, just to see how much booze and such they can milk out of the promoter.

Well, I think we all know where this thread now has to get moved to.

Theme: Songs About The Sanctuary (This theme is very loosely defined, and very much open to interpretation; but if any players don't understand why the song is about The Sanctuary, they can ask you about it, meaning that your song-choice may be open to challenge, so be prepared to defend it...) 1. The Circle Jerks - I Just Want Some Skank 2. The Doors - People are Strange 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

Keller Williams - Spring Buds (Laugh) 12. The Band - Dry Your Eyes (The Last Waltz)* *Musically, I don't mind it all that much, but Robbie's choice of Neil Diamond as a guest was a bit of a non-sequiter (IMO), and indicative of the problems that led to The Band's untimely demise.

Theme: Songs with Roses in the title 1. Tom Waits - The Briar and the Rose 2. Emmylou Harris - Roses in the Snow 3. Daniel Lanois - Desert Rose 4. Ryan Adams - Cold Roses 5.

They're playing at the Central Bar and Grill which is right downtown and is apparently a beautiful venue. (Indeed, it's just as much venue as it is bar from what I understand, if that makes sense). If you're going to be more mobile, you should check out Live Victoria (which you might have already), as they offer the most complete, on-going list of what's happening with live music in town. /End thread hijack. Edit to add late-breaking news: I just checked the Central's website after linking to it (to see what else they had coming up) and it would seem that they've been evicted by the new owners of the building and have suspended operations as of yesterday. Bummer. I'm guessing that NFTT will try and reschedule, so stay tuned to their website I guess. /End Thread Hijack (Take Two)

Thanks, Brad, as always. They've been playing a couple of newer ones lately that I've wanted a copy of, and it seems that this show has exactly what I'm looking for. Can't wait for the Victoria show on Thursday. Peace, Hart

Best Instrumental Album for Run Neil Run. Nicely played, gentlemen! There's a brief mention of them in the CBC Story.
