Live Shows

“Heyman is great at capturing the onslaught of thoughts that speed through your mind when you’re sitting alone in the dark with a drink and a cigarette. That he turned them into rocking, danceable songs is no small achievement.”

I must be some kind of glutton for punishment to be on tour on the East Coast, selling my own vinyl records, and praying that I sell enough of them to lighten my load on the way home and yet... here is my haul from Cheapo's in Cambridge. I buy The LeRoi Bros "Check This Action" record whenever I see it and give it to my friends that think they know it all. The Jody Reynolds is sealed, mid career remakes of his hits. I will take a chance for $1. The rest is pretty much self explanatory.
Mark Robinson was at the show in Cambridge last Tuesday night. It was great fun to talk about a bunch of house parties we played in Silver Spring in the late '80s. Go To Blazes was just getting going, but in my memory, Unrest already seemed fully conceived and moving at warp speed conceptually. Mark is younger than me, but clearly he has access to some version of the fountain of youth...
Heading south to NYC Opening for Wreckless Eric at Berlin Under A tonight.
Wreckless Eric, sardonically funny, so tunefully rocking, and full of bittersweet melody. Looking forward and back without a hint of nostalgia.

Dug this out of the closet for my gig at The Parkway Lounge on Friday. I hadn't had it out in about a year and it came out it the case in tune. It is a really unique and brawny sounding guitar. I used it a lot when I was playing with Chuck Prophet. This particular color (honey burst) is the same as the one Carl Perkins used a lot in the late 70s and early 80s. I am gonna hang onto it.
