May 29th & 30th 2010

Hello and welcome to summer at last! Please have fun, be safe, and don’t forget to memorize something for Memorial Day.

Big doin’s this week! I’m playing in Aviston and Grafton to ring in the summer. If you can’t make it to either, I hope you get a chance to hear live music somewhere.

Upcoming events for June include an all-original music show at The Map Room in St Louis’ Benton Park neighborhood on Thursday June 3rd from 7-10 pm and my first ever appearance at Aeries Winery in Grafton on Saturday June 5th at 3 pm.

This week’s new ringtone is from Golden and has proven to be a really good live tune even if the recorded version didn’t do so well. I play it often in my solo act and it was a lot of fun performing it with the Floyd Duncan Orchestra. It has a blues/jazz/rock sound and an adulterous story and that certainly makes for a good ringtone- Desperate Times and as usual- I can’t control the ringtone price ($2.49) but I can set the download price to a negligible $0.51 so you can get the ringtone on your phone and put the song on your mp3 player for just $3.00 !!!! Woo hoo! I ought to be arrested for aiding and abetting theft.

Live shows this week-

Debt and Taxes 2010

Greeeeeeeeeee tings! I hope you had a Happy Easter. Just a reminder- get your taxes done- time is running out. I was able to find all of my paper work and get it to the accountant (Les) in time to spend the last few days of spring break converting my CD collection over to cassettes.

I had a great time playing in Chicago and then after the Culinaria gig in downtown STL on Thursday had the good fortune to sit in with Steve Reeb (Steve plays every Thursday in Soulard at Johnny’s) and Ed Belling (Ed works as a solo, duo, trio or whatever size group shows up -Pickin’ Likin’ plays the Shanti-Soulard every other Saturday) We played together for the first time (no rehearsal either) in Lafayette Square at the benefit for Officer Haynes.

Big doin’s this week with Poplar Bluff, MO/Makanda, IL/ and Grafton!

If you don’t want to drive to Makanda but do want to catch some great live music Saturday try the Airport Bowl in Bethalto, IL where the inimitable Christopher Sutton and his band The Uzual Suspecks will be performing – I believe start time is 9 pm.

New feature- my good friend Stephen Koritta inspired this. (Stephen by the way plays every Sunday for the brunch at Hidden Lake Winery and is a published poet). I am the proud owner of a copy of his 2nd book- “Vocal Folds”

Stephen’s favorite song off of the new CD is “Soulard Lady” and so without further ado- RINGTONE FOR Soulard Lady Pretty Cool Huh!

Lance Brendel has already requested next week’s ring tone but turn in your requests for future ringtones provided by Reverbnation.

Requests can be from either Golden or Eons.

If you would like to be removed from this list .. and this is no joke I’m sure you’ve got better things to do than read a bunch of meaningless drivel from me and well, I don’t want to be a nuisance and so I really want to make sure that …. and don’t misunderstand me here.. this is as good as done… because I have absolutely no intent of bothering you or anyone else for that matter … cause I realize the importance of your time here and after all that’s what is really important. Okay?
