Back At It

Last Night I saw Kelly Joe Phelps, and an intro
solo act Natalia Zukerman. Good Stuff, but I had
an ulterior motive in going, also. I picked up the Phase 1
CD's (the Practice Tapes) Friday, just before the show,
and handed one out to a guitar player I know that I
want on this album. I was kind of nervous about
handing it out without listening to it first. But, for a practice
tape, it is really good, and I'm glad I spent a little extra to
get something good (not finished, not perfect, but good)
Next time I'll put more time in practicing the day before
I record, and leave my self more time to relax the day I record.
I handed out a Second CD at the Homestead Picking Parlor,
and I'll hand out one Sun morn to a guitar player, and a couple
more Mon Eve. Some of the other players/singers are going to
be harder to get ahold of, but I'm hoping that I will have
distributed most of the musicians' CD's next week.

Sun. evening at the Minnesota History Center, Liz Carroll with
John Doyle, 7:30. General Admission, tickets at the door
(3/26/06). A genuine virtuouso (Irish Fiddle).

A quick update - Solas on Sun was good, but Flook on Wednesday
at the Cedar was incredible - Irish music at it's best.
Next time I'll be Podcasting the Phase 1 - CD (the Practice Tape).
