Hello, it's that time of the month again when we add more lovely music to our site. This month's happy foursome are The Barker Band in wistful mode, the summer of love-ish Old Californio, the anything but summer love-ish Christopher Rees and, wait for it..."Travelling Salesman's Young Wife Home Alone On Christmas In Montpelier, VT" from Casiotone For The Painfully Alone, which evenr if it was rubbish (and it's not) just had to be included for the names alone.

Let's follow that recipe again for Scrumptious Sunday Soiree!!! Loved hanging out and love listening to the album!! Just love really. Love.

Mar 14 2009 12:56 PM

Aye Slim: I've been thinking of you. How did you fair in those horrendous wild fires? I pray you didn't lose anymore, than when we had last talked.

You'd be glad to know, I keep up with my guitar practice, and am slowing learning finger picking. As you might have guest, I'm a stubborn ol bloke, and new guitar players are a dime a dozen, but it's just something I have to get right. I realize I'll never be Kieth Richards, but if only I can pick out the strings, instead of the strumming sing alongs, I'd be happy... Song's I can finger pick.

Angels from Montgomery ( John Prine)
Stones 'Wild Horses'
House of the Rising son...( old standard, who can't play that song) lol

And some Neil Young. Rockin in the free world. Ohio, heart of Gold. Relatively easy songs. ntm: I've disected the songs, on my setlist, that actually sound okay, just being strummed. Oh what we call here. Jammin on some chords...

HOPE ALL IS WELL
Your friend across the pond!
Robert.

Send me a peep as time allows.
PEACE. Waiting on my income taxes as I'd love to add your new CD to my collection... You and Baz really are great together, and I can only imagine the friendship, of yrs. of playing (smokin drinkin.. your a married man, so I wont add whoring to that list)

Ya know what I mean. Friends are hard to come by. True friends that is. Glad to add you to that list of folks, if only in cyberspace.

Kind Regards/Robert

Hello again,

It’s that time of the month and our site has four new tracks up for your listening enjoyment.

This month’s box of delights include the swaggering groove of Blackie & The Rodeo Kings, the insanely catchy folk-pop of Antje Duvekot, the languid Great Lake Swimmers and, a little belatedly but better late than never, The Young Republic.

A particularly strong month, even if we do say so ourselves. Check them out, you won't regret it.
Robert





Mar 10 2009 1:35 AM



your mrs. is right. I really need to learn how to finger pick. or get a new guitar player and just sing. I can do Townes. Too bad the good die young.

Aye ye Slim: Had a great birthday. Didn't get too drunk, didn't get arrested, and the wifes all happy. Don't get any better than that.

Thank your Ms. for me, for the kind comments on my singing Poncho & Lefty... Love that story ( song )

Did I tell you I played my first open mike last Friday nite... My knees were knobby, but I got a few thumbs up... seems there were some Woody fans in the house... the stage fright is lessoning... I pray it stays that way.... Taking a stab at some writing.... My partner, wrote a sweet musical score, and I sent him some lyrics I wrote.... He jetted me back, said he loved it.. & he's not one to lie... Sometimes life can be hard, as he's not afraid of harsh critisim.....

Folk (blues)(Rock) ON!!!

Hello, we're back again with great new tracks on our page. This month we have some rural bleakness from The Roe Family Singers, the dark intensity of Eamon Dowd, a new song from roots legend Neal Casal and frenetic but compelling from Novillero on the delightfulyl titled but not-at-all-smelly Paco Rabanne. Hope you like them all.

Hi Slim Pickens & Dr Baz
We wanna thank you for your very important support
in those sad days.

This thanx are in our name, in the name of Enrico's wife Paola and in the name of his sons.

Enrico Micheletti's ashes are flyin' throughout the universe
and we hope his soul is finally arrived at a beautiful destination.

What about his music and the music we had recorded toghether?

We finally decide to get it out.
We wanna remeber Enrico in this way.
In the first quarter of 2009 we will publish all our and Enrico Micheletti' s materials on Itunes and many other stores on the web.

We'll send you a message when it's all ready.

God bless you!!!
Have a wonderful 2009!!!

KEEP THE BLUES ALIVEEEE!!!!!!!



Ciao Slim Pickens & Dr Baz ti volevamo ringraziare per le tue parole e per il tuo sostegno in periodo così difficile per noi.

Questi ringraziamenti non sono formali, sono veramente sinceri a nome nostro, della moglie di Enrico Paola e a nome dei suoi figli.

Le ceneri di Enrico Micheletti sono disperse nel mar Tirreno e stanno viaggiando nell' universo. Noi speriamo che anche la sua anima abbia raggiunto finalmente il miglior approdo possibile.

Cosa fare del suo materiale in nostro possesso e del materiale che abbiamo registrato insieme?

Dopo aver pensato a lungo sul da farsi abbiamo deciso di pubblicarlo.
Lo pubblicheremo su Itunes ed altri siti così tutti potranno trovarlo se lo cercano.
Glielo dobbiamo. Glielo deve chi lo ha conosciuto.

Cercheremo di pubblicare tutto ciò che è in nostro possesso nei primi mesi del 2009.

Appena sarà tutto pronto ti faremo sapere.

Felice Anno Nuovo.
Dio ti benedica ancora, grazie.
Suonat
Danny Walsh
