Was a tiny bar; felt good. great drummer and bass-trumpeter With Russo/Benevento Duo, BB Kings, NY, June Unrehearsed, we clicked with unexpected magic Classic Album or Artist You Rediscovered This Year Leo Kottke - Standing In My Shoes Produced by David Z, who will be working with Leo and me in Dec '04 Tim and Mollie O'Brien - Away Out on the Mountain Learned several of the songs on here Diblo with Loketo - Super Soukous These are classic to me Artist You Are Most Excited About in 2005 Russell Batiste I just want him to release the album I played on, with other great cuts. Me I need to develop this kind of arrogance to help launch the solo career. Someone I haven't discovered yet. Perhaps I'll discover in "March" or "June." Would have great clarinet and tabla. Best New Gadget You Can't Live Without What I call "The Flashlight of Life" - from Sharper Image Battery lasts 10 years, is 100 times brighter than Maglight™.

Jay Funk Dawg Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 more from Andrew Barr... A Memorable Moment From the Road in 2004 Of course the music is always interesting, but it is sometimes more interesting to see how one band mate reacts when he accidentally drinks another band mates bottle of urine on the tour bus.
