Notes: Uncle Jeff rushed into the studio saying, "If I only had 30 more seconds." I knew the feeling and kept quiet as he got a CD in the player. After a few moments momentum took over and the airwaves were countrified. By the first break Ukulele Loki was ready to add his commentary.

Jeff was stuck on the fact that the word, "Dixie" was determined to be unfit for display on Alabama license plates. Well, it was news to me. Stupid lamenting. I mean, is that really so important as to employ politicos to self direct their time in such a meaningless way? Uncle Jeff summed it up, "I'm feeling older than I am," and I could not agree more. My toast to the masses, "Wax covered paper cups of Jim Beam for everyone."

Somewhere in the first hour a stone cold country set got played which prompted Doc Martin to call in his approval. I second his nod and recommend Roy Hogsed's, Daisy Mae as this show's hot trak.

I also would suggest the hardcover book, "The Wilco Book," for your diehard alt-country friend who has everything through the ages by these boys. Tweedy's current group is genius and the included 12 trak CD is heaven playing on the Mp3 player smashing through the atmosphere at 30 thousand feet or even in your car as you pass drooling steers eating range grass. Use headphones.

It's not a secret 2004 is headed for the finish line and that means you can look forward to the soon to be posted 2004 Top Ten musical products as interpreted by Uncle Jeff. Tonight he hinted Jesse Sykes and Hayden will be on the list. If you listen that is no surprise, but guaranteed there will be a few on his completed dialogue. Fine tune the dial and stay tuned.

The show wound down into a spiral and Bruce Cockburn's, "You Point To The Sky," kept it from hitting the ground. I truly enjoyed the Cockburn tune and visualized being in a mountain cabin just as Jeff described. But, I'll admit, I usually am somewhere else besides where I am.

Of course Tom's Tavern was the final destination.. adult drinks, business deals and mad plans were discussed. Everthing's a dream with your sunglasses on. See ya next time.
