10 of 194MoreHappy Thanksgiving...love you
Always a pleasure laying down grooves with you, comrade. My best to Rebecca.
Thanks Ji...great to hang out with you and Rebecca. Annalisa chose the right guy to give the camera to. Got some really great photos. Looking forward to the show next thursday. JM
We missed you in Ben Lomond @ Henfling's! That Bartender was there (y'know the one Sean was pining for!) We did "Cigs & Whiskey" for her (but I kept things vague as to who she is, for our own safety) We are now in San Luis Obispo CA tonight and Santa B tomorrow!
Keepa Rockin'!
Yer Pal,
Howlin' Houndog
I hope you can make it out, or at least tune in at noon (or download later)

OK I will be down in Portland Oregon from Saturday Feb 28th to Wed March 4th when I leave on Tour with my Touring Band for California. I will be doing two performances on Saturday Feb 28th. The first will be on KPSU on my friend Ricardo Wang's radio show "What's This Called?" Hopefully you can tune in and listen. Here are the details;

Howlin’ Houndog will be returning to the Airwaves in Portland Oregon on Ricard Wang’s radio show "What’s this Called?" on Saturday Feb 28th as part of his 2009 SXSW Texas Tour. This is gonna be a "Totally Live" Radio performance (with or without his band) The last time he was on "What’s This Called?" he was all alone (Ricardo had a small Emergency he had to attend to) This time Howlin won’t (litterally) steal the show. Tune In and come down to the East Burn and see him and his Touring Band LIVE that night!
If you like what you hear (and are old enough) I will be performing the night of Feb 28th at the East Burn;

All the best.
