Gig reports and editorial comments for the week Mar 29-Apr 5, 2005

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey, hey, hey-

Mike Farrow just posted the first 7 mixes from the Tim Easton live CD on the website (sorry, it’s password protected until we decide what we are going to use). It sounds so good! Live recording catches a spirit that’s elusive in the studio. I think it’s the best live recording of a soloist I’ve ever heard.

Speaking about live recording, I hope you were at the Water Canyon on Monday night for the impromptu jam session with ‘Minor Swing’. The place was full, and the vibe was pure music. Stewart and Phil (the Englanders who make up the duo) led off with a set of their ‘hot club’ type stuff. Then, they were joined by Jon Bertini, on mandolin; Bobby Furgo, on fiddle; TK Smith, on guitar, and John Whoolilurie, on tenor sax. I just can’t tell you how cool it was, but, since I was doing the sound, I recorded it! I’m listening to it now! Hee, Hee, Hee!

Two years ago, I invited ‘Minor Swing’ over to the studio with Bobby Furgo, after they played at the SPRC. We cut a few tunes, and they ended up on the record the boys released recently. It’s nice to find my work on a project I didn’t even know about.

This week, at the WC, we’ve got Good Medicine, from the Bay area, on Thursday; Friday, we’ve got Wooden Nickel, fresh from Pitown; and Sat. we’ve got Janet Robin, killer singer/ songwriter/guitarist from LA. World-class music! And that’s only one place. I hope you all are enjoying the great variety and quality of music that’s hap’nin round here these days. May it continue to grow with us.

Dat’s all for now…

Alice Stewart CALIFORNIA TOUR
It's time for our spring trip to California. Usually, I'd be telling you how wet it's been here all winter and how nice it will be to get dry....The tables have definitely turned, haven't they? Before heading down your way, on March 20th I will be flying to Nashville to record 4 songs. These songs will almost certainly be included on the next CD and it may even become an EP.

The exceptional Charlie Wallace, dobro and pedal steel player, will be joining us for many of these California shows. He joined us for our show at the Triple Door in Seattle in February. A very memorable evening! We made a multi-track recording that we plan to mix and release as a live CD. (more in JAMSannouncements attachment)

Hi Steve,

(for CD Baby users – from Derek Sivers)

Beware of emails that come through your CD Baby page, and sound something like this:

"I am a retailer located in London, i will love to Order for 80 copies of your Cds,please Kindly get back to me with the total cost excluding shippment,Cause i have my shipper intact,Please get back to me as soon as possible..I await your Urgent response." or "... highly interested in buying 60 COPIES OF YOUR CD, ... i will like this transaction to be fast due to the urgency involved in the need of it, concerning payment,money order or certified cashier cheque will be issue to you as my client in USA will be paying you"

I've had an alarming number of people forward me these, so whoever is doing it is visiting hundreds of CD Baby pages and trying to trick anyone they can.

More info, here: http://cdbaby.org/stories/05/03/04/2807264.html

Ordinarily I wouldn't clutter your email box with something that probably won't affect you, but I figured it'd be worth it if I could prevent even one person from being fooled by this.

Hello, This is the latest alert. For those who do not want to open attachments please go to the Press Room http://visit29.org/cvb_press.html where you will also find pictures in both 72 dpi, and 300 dpi.

An excellent place to view acres of dandelions, lupines, pincushion, and other annuals is on Sheephole Pass starting at the Pass and going north for several miles.

The southern end of JTNP is still excellent for anything that blooms yellow. The lupine have peaked. The dune primroses are still excellent east on Hwy 62, especially beyond Ironage Rd. especially on the banks of the washes. New pictures are going up on the web site so take a look.

Hi Steve,

Good newsletter. Who's piece is the Predictions 2005 (It feels like I may have read it recently)?

Also...Got 2 of Dr. Meyers' Sermon piece, no "...Midnight Frenzy," and no JPS.

Amazon lists:

The Coming Global Superstorm by Art Bell, Whitley Strieber (Paperback)

So I would guess the author is, or is purported to be, Whitley Strieber of Communion fame.

I belive the author is Whitly Strieber (dont know if the spelling is right) He wrote Coming Global Superstorm with Art Bell - Check out www. coasttocoastam.com to check out the spelling… Ellen

“American moguls, snake-oil salesmen and politicians looking to score riches or power will stop at little if they feel it is in their interests to exploit God to achieve those ends.”

Frank Rich (see JAMS Political Supplement)

“Imagine if George Bush declared that he was getting rid of his limousine for an armor-plated Ford Escape hybrid, adopting a geo-green strategy and building an alliance of neocons, evangelicals and greens to sustain it. His popularity at home - and abroad - would soar. The country is dying to be led on this. Instead, he prefers to squander his personal energy trying to take apart the New Deal and throwing red meat to right-to-life fanatics. What a waste of a presidency. How will future historians explain it?” (see JAMS Political Supplement)

I am emailing because I haven't received your newsletter lately. Maybe you are just taking a well deserved vacation. Or hopefully I have not fallen off the list.

Hey Steve,

Thanks for listing the upcoming BIG & GOOD yard sale in Joshua Tree! A few notes:

- It's now up to seven people/families (and counting) coming to sell stuff Fri-Sun 4/8-4/10 - Focus is on quality stuff for sale: one person is closing their vintage clothes store for the weekend to sell at the sale! - It'll be on Rick & Brenda's property across from the Circle K in Joshua Tree, next to their tattoo parlor Thee Ink Cup

Best wishes from New York and see you all soon! Send an email if any questions. I can't speak for anyone else just yet, but my stuff will include good stereo gear, AR studio monitors, surround sound system, 36" glass-screen tv, 200 disk changer (2 of them?), a guitar or two, good books, a collection of ~500 cds, some music gear--crate amp, monitor, furniture, art, a few antiques, solid oak bookcases, office supplies, kitchen stuff, EVERYTHING from my entire old house, etc. Most will go to best offer since I don't feel like hauling anything back East.

"What kind of moral schizophrenia is it that allows us to shout at the top of our national voice for all the world to hear that we live up to our commitment when every page of history and when all the thirsty, starving, humiliating days and nights of the last 100 years in the lives of the American Indian contradict that voice?"
