The Performance at The Thief River Falls
Casino went extremely well, I got to meet
the keyboard player for Walter Trout
in the hotel (a superb player) but not
Kim Wilson or Bo Diddley-Kim Wilson
played excellent, but I did real good,
and I all ready knew Kim Wilson is one
of the masters at harp - so I played tourist
and took pictures of his band-the Fabulous
Thunderbirds from the 3rd row, and sat back
and enjoyed the show - catch it if you get a
chance- it's really good. Also got a free 10
minutes of recording time at Jamesland and
met Freeman James through the Minnesota
Area Songwriters - free recording time is
always welcome -but I didn't have
anything prepared for recording (last
minute deal for me- I brought my harps
just in case), so, it's a jam - but I'll
post it one my website when I get the
mix. Certainly I do appreciate any chance
to record at a premier Twin Cities studio
like Jamesland (this is a plug, but it is
an amazing studio). I'm doing a block party
next week in Minneapolis with Little
Bobby and the Storm (so I've got the
easy drive this time).

Anyways, I've been playing tin whistle at
a local park (Purgatory Creek -good name
for a park aint it?), just practicing really, but
a number of people have come up and
commented on how appropriate it is- the
sound of the tin whisitle drifting through
the woods- it just works, it makes sense-
if your walking your dog in a park, there
should be some guy sitting on top of
a hill with his keeshond, playing Irish
jigs and reels and slow airs- you hear it,
you look, you say to yourself - "yep,
that makes sense" -
Thank you ma'am, Just doing my part.
