Dan - hope you're well. Still think back to the great acoustic set you did on my stage at Weyfest in 2007. Was listening to Bob Harris on radio 2 thinking you were still in Katy Lied. Good wishes for the continuing solo career. A recent highlight for me was doing a support for Albert Lee. I'm playing on the Sunday night of Weyfest so might catch up with you and Chris.
Four more little sonic gems for your August pleasure are now available on the site. Blitzen Trapper, Boulder Acoustic Society, Jay Brannan and The Wiyos. Yet another fine quartet even though we say so ourselves as picked them out.
Hey Dannyboy...I may tend to agree with ya about the iconic-ness of that pic. Good idea. None of the skull images REALLY kill me but this pic does...maybe degrade it and make it look reeeaaalll old???
