Notes:

A slow, methodical "g r e e t i n g s   in   s l o w   m o t i o n" opening. The Route 78 West pressing plant jutted to Blues and Jazz, then terminated near a beach. Our studio cavern locked out sunday lawnmowers, sun spots and solar winds. Meanwhile the desert runs on, bees are buzzing and out on the road semi tires thump each concrete crack. The Indians on the ridge are gone. Not hip is hip. The greatest generation is spiraling toward the sky. Corruption is the new ring-tone. Operators are standing by to answer your questions.

Our, "mentally fragile" flag waved in the hot spring breeze. Sporadic electric transmissions plagued each of us and the change of season built on the funk. Maybe it's the times we are living.

On and off Jeff referenced the movie, "Desperate Man Blues" as a focal point. Run to rent.

The Milkman knows Jazz & Blues are Rock 'n' Roll's parents. Read Skydog.


Future concerts; Drive-By Truckers May 12-13 Fox Theatre, Dinosaur Jr June 15 Aggie Theatre (recommended by the webmaster), and Richmond Fontaine June 30
BlueBird Theater.

News flash... Blue Mountain reunion at Twangfest, St. Louis MO June 6-9.

Colophon; Deadman Soundtrack, Daz Bog, salted nuts in-the-shell, Ghiradelli Chocolate, Nirvana - Scoff & Swap Meet - Bleach (over and over just like a semi tire thumping concrete cracks).

The good news... music goes on no matter what.
