In mid June, we finally got DSL, first me, then Sylvia thru a router, been wasting beaucoup time listening to Internet Radio since then – favorite stations: WPMD, my own show, Rock 50 & Garagemania; WFMU (New Jersey): Fool’s Paradise & Downtown Soulville.
Listening to WFMU, was back in touch with Rex Doane, with whom I’ll be talking with next week. Thanks to my writing partner, Jim Dawson, I was back in touch with Sammy Yates, aka Count Yates, who’ll be on my WPMD show in 2 weeks (taking July 4) off. Will be helping Wagmanblues with his backyard blues parties in July.
This AM on Sunday Morning, a fawning reviewer talking about a new CD: Night Train To Nashville, made the following observation about that city: (paraphrasing) "there wasn't a large r&b label there, so most of these songs are on one-off labels." Oh yeah, ever hear of Excello/Nashboro/Nasco, the home of Slim Harpo, Lightning Slim, the Gladiolas, Marigolds, and dozens of great gospel groups; the first home (Galatin) of Dot, Bullet (B.B. King's first label), Republic and others?
And, if that’s not enough, well, it probably is - we intended to see Fahrenheit 911 this weekend. Dave Grudt wanted to go to see it today at the Edwards Towne Center, but the crowds are just too, how to say it? Too crowded.
I took our half lab, half terrier, Dorothy, on an every other day walk, which she loves. She's now shaved, looks, and probably feels, a whole lot better.
Dealing with Dorothy a lot, who’s terrified of fireworks as she should be, so she crashes against the chain link gate, scarring her face in a wild attempt to escape, before we can help her, by bringing her in.
We had a new kitchen light and garage door, DSL, and a whole lot more installed, thanks to Rick, Shea’s boyfriend. What else to do? Cleaning out the garage? Too hot.
