Gone Woodshedding

Rory Block is at the Cedar next Fri
(May 12) and Goran Ivanovic on
Sunday-I'm volunteering both
nights. Then Ralph Stanley
on June 3rd, and I bought a ticket
for that one. Open Stage on Wed.
I was going to skip that one, but,
I recently heard of a local harp
player who passed away,
and it was kind of a reminder
that I really do need to get out
and see the live performers more
because other wise you're just
limited to you know what
(the #$%^*& on the radio)
and you're missing the music
and the musicians that really
matter.

Anyways the Wilbur Cole Weekend
jam was a good time, but I was
eventually driven out by the
smoke -I've had a headache for the
last two days, so ouch. [I used to
smoke more than a pack a day].
It's frustrating going home like
that, but when you quit smoking,
secondhand smoke can be a problem
years later ( it gives you a "nic fit",
for days basically), anyways enough
griping - it was a good time.

As you can guess from this completely
aimless blog - nothing major to report
on the CD - I've decided that to get a
good backing track I'm going to have to
learn the rudiments at least of playing
the drums - so I'm going to be
woodshedding on my harp, and
studying the drums and bodrhan
for the next month or so - next
posting in June, unless something
happens.

Later,
