Notes:

I sit scribbling this memo listening to The Pink Mountaintops and watching The Endless Summer. I don't recommend this unless into your last half renaissance. A complete mind game processing the change in seasons. Forty years ago I would of been raking leaves and burning them in the backyard near the tracks. By the time the 511 shot by on track three I'd be eating pot roast and looking forward to watching black and white TV. My Dad would pull on a "handy cellophane tab" to open a new pouch of Cherry Blend Tobacco, light up his pipe and read the paper till he feel asleep. Now color coordination is direction. Any day the lettuce could bring disease and crumble the world just like Stalin wanted. Maybe music can save us just like it did in the 60s? Me thinks Uncle Jeff feels the same way. He's been digging back to Boston Folk and Western Pedal Soul to inspire the future. Bring us back to where we never were. Let us relive times we didn't know were good. Reverb the politics and beat the politicos like a tribal drum. Amphetametric drone and volume is my chicken soup. And late-nite short wave hints truth.

Today's hot trak, "It'll Take A Long Time," by Sandy Denny. Leave it to Wizard Jeff to get this trak out on the waves. "There is no need for rules, there's no-one to score the game and there is nobody living in this town as even knows its name."

This Friday, November 10th, hear The Hacienda Brothers at Benders Tavern.
