 Check em out >  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz2i_-oowtI

Here’s some last minute music info for tonight

This Thursday we welcome back At The Rhumb Line ~ Justin Quinn and his entire aggravation. Harmonica pneumaticist, vogellist, and mohel Sam non-pareil, he’s the koolest kat that is what am. Behind him, cutting a neat figure will be a new guy: Mr. Joey Pappas, on glutar. Friend of JQ, he’s the bees’ knees.  Jon Ross, former henchman of such luminaries as James Cotton and Duke R. will be bangin’ the skins. Of course Greg T. and myself  provide the Habeus Corpus. Roomer has it that several sit-ins and spit-ups will be coming by to interrupt the flow. Gonna be a great nite! Don’t look for premiums as the cost of our medications prohibit the use of them.    And Saturday nite, c’mon down to the “Annie”, aka the performance space at the Blackburn Bldg. Henry Allen gargling his way thru the Great American Schlongbook, as interpreted by the Good Ol’ Salty  Jazz Band. We’ve been working hard to make this a night to dismember. Apparently it’s a benefit for the space itself, well worth your time. Tix are $20 and includes a sickness bag. Starts at 8, goes to 11. A great time for all!
At The Dog Bar ~ Bradley Royds will be opening for Just Like Newman.

Hello everyone!
Wednesday, November 16th
Special Guest:
ME!

That’s right, folks.  This week’s musical guest: Fly Amero!  So
you know, I’ll be doing a non-stop, 3-plus hour show starting
at 8pm.  Call me self-indulgent.  I like doing this every once
in a while.  For those who may be interested, our recent St.
Andrews, Scotland Orleans performance was reviewed in the
country’s largest news publication, the Glasgow Herald (most
commonly known as Herald Scotland).  Copied below:

Orleans, Inn at Lathones

It’s decades since they troubled chart compilers with any regularity and those who haven’t kept up might be forgiven for thinking that they’d slipped into day jobs in music college faculties or some such.  So it’s great to report that Orleans are very much still around and delivering the kind of performance that made Asylum Records sign them as potential rivals to label mates The Eagles.

Their long overdue UK debut could hardly have been less rock biz and they had one or two equipment problems to sort out before starting but it turned into the kind of pinch yourself intimate experience that people lie about attending.  So if you’re going to pretend you were there, yes, they did start with Let There Be Music and they did do all the hits, including Dance With Me with a really imaginative melodica solo from pianist-guitarist Larry Hoppen, and, for three guys, they made a mighty big, superbly tight, beautifully arranged  sound.

Sibling-close vocal harmonies – Larry and bassist brother Lance are joined by Dennis ‘Fly’ Amero, who replaced original songsmith John Hall – are just one of Orleans’ attractions, however.  Their music digs deep into its American roots, with funky rhythm ‘n’ blues guitar grooves, gospel-soul melodic richness, bluegrass country-style confession and a distinct touch of Little Feat-esque Nawlins boogie.

The rogueish Amero is a serious asset, adding swing and blues songs with panache and absolute honesty and guitar solos that really probed and sang.  But that was the hallmark of the set generally: It may have been a modest room in Fife but in terms of quality and conviction, for these guys, it was the Hollywood Bowl.

Thursday Night Blues Party To Host Greg Luttrell @ The Rhumb Line

Well, I’m drunk again and basically a pain to meet on the streets of this basically clean city. So, in keeping with my private zoo, may I introduce Mr. Greg Luttrell? This guy is the coolest kat that is what am. Prune juice magnate, uvula waggler, and glitarist nonpareil, this Teen Beat star is sure to melt the enamel offa yer incisors. No assembly needed. Safe when used as directed. Former hellion of the Michigan Black Snake band, Greg has seen it all, sometimes in 3-D. One of our more welcome infestations. You need this!
Giving our  dry cells a much needed jump start will be that Irish skinmaster: Mr. “Molto” Benny Benson, curator of the groove. Mr, Greg T. , on catarrh ,and myself  provide the jumper cables.  Don’t tell anybody!
And I’m getting tired of saying it, but Sunday nite I’m playing in Nbpt. at Glenn’s Cool Bar and Restaurant with the Justin Quinn band. The food is fabulous, and the band’s pretty good, too.6 to 9: make a reservation:It’s worth it!
Im getting outa this cast next week. It’s killing me! 6 weeks of torture! Anybody willing to drive me to Nbpt . on sunday??

A very special thanks to John Rockwell and Julie Dougherty
carrying the Rhumb Line torch while I was away!  Europe
was amazing, as always!  Ask me about it when we see each
other this…

Wednesday, November 9th
Special Guest:
CHICK MARSTON!

There are dozens upon dozens of artists I could refer to as
musical influences in my life.  But none of ‘em left an imprint
like this guy.  I was a young teen playing only electric rock
and blues when I met Chick Marston.  With his masterful
acoustic guitar finger picking styles and deep American folk-
blues roots, he opened my eyes wide to a whole new world
of music and culture.  Chick took me to more than a few of
the legendary Newport Folk & Jazz Festivals of the mid-’60s,
introducing me to the TRUE heavyweight champions of all
time, like for instance, The Staple Singers, Pete Seeger, The
Clancy Brothers, Jim Kweskin, Nina Simone, Dizzy Gillespie…
and so many others.  Since then, I’ve been spending my life
simply trying to ‘pick like Chick’. There’s always a great vibe
floating around when he and I get together and play.  Come
and catch some of the magic fairy dust.
