Country Music

I love this song.  Of course, I'll never play it as well as the red headed stranger.  It's got lots of nice room to play around in.  As a joke to ourselves we decided once that we would keep going up a half step each time around.  I rarely have the patience to stick with it all 4 times.  

All of a sudden Kansas City is on a national spotlight for it's "Jazz District"  Which makes me think, I wonder if we could ever play a gig at the Blue Room?

Such a seminal song and video from the late 90's.   We also play a Nirvana song, and I find it fascinating and actually not surprising that both Heart Shaped Box and Black Hole Sun are in Ab minor.  Seriously a bitch of a key, but at the same highly instructional.  

I remember fondly the big smiles all smeared across the people's faces and the lady with the man doing pushups and the couple with the great dane combing his hair and the "welcoming committee"  But of course if you are my age I'd wager you do too.

Why does he treat me that way?

This comes from a set we played at the Czar Bar back in September.  I told you would get Pat in the next one.   Looking forward to getting some good footage of the new set at Coda coming up on Feb 2.  Enjoy

Announcement


This flyer should say it all.   Except for the blurb about how we might have some dueling metallica songs.  I think I mentioned that last time.   That is all.

Next time you get Kid Voracious

Probably this will be the last video from Jan 7 that I will post.  We have an upcoming set and are excited to add more than a handful of new songs to the book. 

Look for us at Coda on Broadway  on Thursday Feb 2.  Please come out and help us to raise money for Save The Music.   Also featured will be the Ruskin Quartet.   Its a battle of the bands style concert.   they've got a killer version of Ride The Lightning and from what I recall a nimble bass player and sax player.   Looking forward to it.    We hit first at 8, then they go on 45 minutes later.

but for now.   Annie Lennox wants to be abused by drumnbass beats.  it is unfortunate that some of my software prohibits the whole 90 degree rotation.  I'll need to amend that in the near future.

Sharing some space for a minute or two..

Something of this has happened before.  But each is worth its weight in the details. 

You know David Byrne.  Zen lyrics master and all around art house AA++ designer of ways to think that make life easier.

Inaugural

Welcome to it.


Recently Kent Burnham's company was pleasurably kept by Mike and myself.  This is but a glimpse of what went down.  Truly a wonderful night. 


of course the song is by Elvis Presley.  and then Dwight Yoakum did it too.  I'm sure others have as well.  I love it.    Don't you do what your big sister done.    Please, I'm beggin you, cause she broke my hear last time.   but I'm gonna be quiet now, and shake my hips.

Thanks enjoy.
