well, damn

The Swamp was fabulous. Listening now to the Deadstring Brothers who played Friday before Bernard Allison, who was also fabulous. Millish was good. Alejandro Escovedo was pretty good. The Infamous Stringdusters were real good. The Silverbacks were outstanding. The Elderly Brothers with Miss Annie were fantabulous.

Bought almost nothing at the Swamp. One picture and some mittens. Some CDs. Saw many people. The weather could have been better as the audience cleared out right before Bernard because of impending bad stormishness which didn't occur. And Saturday night it rained all during the Sierra Leone's Allstar Refugees but many folks braved the elephants to see them. All in all, a delightful time that just capped my week off. I did a lot of brain relaxation.

Last night, went to see The Subdudes at the Ark. Man, those guys can play. They came into the audience and did Morning Glory about one inch from us a capella. They rocked out. Their harmonies and playing are so tight. When we left, the guitar player in the background was out back having a smoke and we said You were great and he said Come see us again.

GNO tomorrow. There's a fall food fest at the Farmer's Market on Pearl St. Saturday. Cooking Demonstrations: Sushi (Bg style!), sauerkraut balls, squash dishes. 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. I'll be there.

Then off to NYC. Could go see Robben Ford and Parliament Funkadelic. M. Ward, Eartha Kitt, Eric Bibb. We'll see. It costs $85 to see Eartha Kitt. I'll be in the audience of Regis and Kelly Live on Monday and I'll wave. As Sal would ask, What will I wear??
