MUSIC FROM O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU.

Having just seen an amzing performance from Alison Krauss & Union Station (w/ Jerry Douglas) on Friday night, and having seen Del McCoury last Summer (and at Oswego), I just can't see how this could suck at all!

Go!!

gotta ask: how was the crowd reaction to The New Deal?

@ The Downstairs John, McMaster University

Right fucking on!

cool... that's around the time of the Toronto Jazz Festival as well, so we'll have to keep our eyes and ears open...

I just hope P+F isn't too much. I am getting to the point where I would rather not see a show than be gouged, which is why I'm passing on a whole lot of things lately and trying to stick to club/theatre shows, which are more affordable.

I don't know what my threshold is... I just know I've been refusing to shell out tons of $$ for one evening's performance, I don't care who it is.

That having been my 1st show, and a four-hour period in which my life irrevocably cahnged, I can't help but ask if there couldn't be two winners....

Anybody else going to miss Stockwell Day as leader of the Canadian Alliance? He was just hilarious. My favorite was his assertion that men once lived with the dinosaurs. You just can't buy that kind of material!

Thanks for the laughs, Stock!

I know I do.

here ya go bud:

One Wanker's Views on What Jazz Should Be

'Tis a bummer indeed... I'll have to make a point of hitting Guelph or Kitchener now.

It was fun, no?

I was there, 16th row, Jerry's side. Good show, above average for the period.

Today marks 10 years since I last did acid!

The Johns Hopkins News-Letter March 15, 2002

See you around!

Marc.

Whaddya say we pool some cash?

link: Jerry's guitars

Yeah, these are always fun threads. 5 for me:

Southern Culture On The Skids - "Liquored up & Lacquered Down"

John Scofield Band - "Uberjam"

Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention - "Freak Out!"

Charles Mingus - "Mingus Ah Um"

and of course....

The Beatles - "Please Please Me" ("ah-one-tow-three-FOUR!")

as for live stuff, I've been spinning Phish: 12/29-31/93 & 11/21-22/97; The New Deal: 1/15-16/02 and 2/15-16/02; and SCI: 10/27/01 & 10/30/01 (thanks again, Trevor).

Just try and keep me away from your luscious, hairy donuts!

I'll be seeing you before the gig, perhaps?

Those were good shows, weren't they?

Gotta second that nomination of Hal from Malcolm In The Middle. I loved it when he was kicking his sons' asses in basketball.

So, where was your first show?

My 1st show was 12-7-95 @ Niagara Falls Convention Centre. I can't say it changed my life right there and then, as I was still heavily into a Pro-Grateful Dead bag, and wasn't prepared to accept songs about hitting Possums and ACDC Bags and stuff. Loved the jamming that night though. Mostly, it planted a seed that would really start to grow after the Buffalo 1996 show and especially 12-11-97 Rochester. Eventually, I found myself standing in the middle of the Florida everglades, dancing with a blue glowstick for eight consecutive hours, but that's another story....

Gotta say, though, I got a copy of that Niagara Falls show a few years later, and it was a fucking great show! I just didn't know at the time.

I bet the Phish-related content will pick up as band member tours are underway, and especially if/when an official announcement is made on the end of the hiatus. I'm a long-time rumour watcher, and personally I'm inclined to believe the rumours that a Fall Tour will go down this year.
