Notes:

Uncle Jeff still was on a Nashville high fueled by a Rock-A-Billy music fix he got during his recent points east road trip. The DJing duo seemed relaxed and delivered an exceptional mix of tunes. The first highlight being Town Cryer by Porter Wagner, followed later by a religious tinge in You Can't Go Halfway And Get In. Loki provided Jaybird March (Smithsonian Folkways) as a transition to the early Alt-Country appearance of Summer Teeth (1999) by Wilco. As a few more traks were played I settled into a weird place in my mind. A comfortable place. I didn't know it yet, but by the end of the show I would realize that this show exemplified what Route 78 West is... It hit me in the back of my head when the last note of Fort Lewis --> Out of State by Richmond Fontaine played. Yep, life is a trip, some days are in hiding, some days you can't help but lose it and a few you just put on your happy face. No one is exempt from the trip of life, but music can make the road smoother. I remember a Sunday when the phone rang and a listener requested a tune, "for my dying Mother". On one end of the phone a person was expiring and I pictured a dim room with an old radio playing softly while a daughter comforted her Mother. Reality feeds imagination, or is it the other way around?

By now listeners were wondering if the DJs had forgot to phase into Morricone and surf. It was all by design my friends, as was the Drive By Truckers' and Lynyrd Skynyrd Country Rock set. It's good practice to save the best for last and Joe Williams' Baby Please Don't Go (1947, 9 string guitar) fit right in.

You can't predict the play list, nor life's twists and turns.

Shows coming up include Bruce Cockburn 7/22 Boulder Theater, Richmond Fontaine & Local 33 7/24 BlueBird, Drive By Truckers 8/9 BlueBird, REM & Wilco 9/13 & 14 Red Rocks.

Listen next week... tickets for the Richmond Fontaine show will be given away during the broadcast.

Post show was a quick stop at Mustard's Last Stand... a cold drink, vittles and Japanesque cable TV. Stay tuned.
