Up and Running..

Two shows under my belt and it feels good. I kind of feel like George Harrison must have felt when he left the Beatles and he had all these songs backlogged that he wanted to record. Feel like I could do a show every night for a month and still not get everything in. I've talked to the Wilders about appearing live and it looks like it may be happening in the fall. Their schedule is pretty heavy for the rest of the summer and early fall. I'm thinking of a double bill with the Midday Ramblers and the Wilders. Also, there will be a guest DJ show with Howard Iceberg sometime within the next two months. He took advantage of the KKFI fund drive promotion that, for a fee, allows the listeners to DJ their own show. He wanted to do one with me, so we will. I will also have a collaboration with former KKFI dj (and my wife) Caroline Lee before the end of July. I've put word out unofficially to some local bands to send me unreleased material for an archival show I'm going to do soon. It will have all unreleased and rare recordings from local and regional bands. I'll try to get the Pitch and the Star to publicize it so I can get recent things as well as older material. I have had some people wonder why I haven't played a lot of blues yet. I will remedy that situation next week with the first 22 minutes of the show being a long blues set. I had some nice calls from some old listeners who remember my last stint there. It's nice to hear from you all. Remember that requests can't be done that same day, unfortunately. I burn the whole show to two cds and bring them down there, so I generally don't have extra cds with me. I'll take requests, but you will have to be patient before you hear them.
