I'm quite glad I opted for the WASP gig in London instead of the Birmingham date now.

TexasToest: No Im not going, just put it there for info really....

Ewe:  I wish I had the resources to haul my lil behind over there.  Are you going?

Tuesday:  Really?  I didn't know that.  That's not too far from Nashville.

Tuesday:  Let us NOT, indeed, forget Porter in all his glory

Be sure to click on the photo to enlarge it.  The sequins on this suit are uncharacteristically subtle.

TexasToest:

Stephen Lynch

Thanks, Nirvana.  Now.....where is my treat?

Nirvana: That is too cute!!

Jim Dandy:  More!  More!  You're with the program, don't stop.  I looked up that delicious little lead guitar player.  He's done some other things.  Interesting guy, trained in the arts.  He knows what he's doing, for sure!

Eriisa: Your spell will take effect tonight!!

Eriisa:They wouldn't do that to sweet Missy Riisy.  That cauldron had dead mice and newts, ano'possum tails, and bat's feet, and rotted pumpkin, and skunk spray in it, and it stunk to HIGH HEAVEN!!

Amateur rendition of Louden Wainwright's famous in (Texas and Arkansas) song.  These guys are low-key, but pretty funny.  This is a really scary thought!!

TexasToest: What???? I can't belive that Dolittle & Baddessi would come visit you and not visit me too! <pout>

Mousetrap:Wowee!  Real witches.

 TexasToest: Double double toil and trouble

Mousetrap:  That's the only thing I could think of too.  While I was asleep last night, two witches came in here with their cauldron, and stood around chanting, "Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble." And I had trouble by morning.

A promise of things to come

TexasToest: OOOOooooo Halloween halloween!

Mousetrap:  That's exactly what happened.  Some goblin came in and fried my monitor and my router, and ate them for a snack.  I got here tonight, but late.  I guess I've impressed myself with my technical knowledge.  I always think I'm lacking, but when the chips are down, I seem to rise to the occasion.  It surely caused me a lot of grief.  I'm back up, not whole yet, but at least I can operate out here. Hard to find a job with no computer.  

Eriisa: Uh ohhhh!

Eriisa: thanks for letting us know : )

Texas Toest is have computer problems and had to cancel the music theme night for tonight. She'll get that together as soon as she gets up and running again.

TexasToest: Maybe I had that driving music on and thought I was on the autobahn!! :)

TexasToest: That sounds very interesting,I loved what I heard of T-bone's last album

Jim Dandy:  Yes, but it's one of the more interesting songs.  I love it too. 

Hey, I heard this morning that Robert Plant, and Sheryl Crow have a new CDtogether that was produced by T-Bone Burnett.  That should be interesting.  I heard some snips.  It might be kind of serene for some, but I'd still like to hear it.  NPR doesn't have anything on it's website about it yet, but I'll keep looking.

Jim Dandy:  Yeah, that is great driving music.  But, Doosie doesn't need it, she's a natural speed-demon.  The roads between Oklahoma, and the Hill Country aren't safe when she's en routel  They issue warnings when she leaves her house.

but I love the song

TexasToest: They should have been huge,I first saw them at my high school,and later the caused a riot at Ontario Place.The guitarist broke his back at a very pivotal time and the never regained the momentum.

Dolittle: I hear ya about the Holly influence,Frankie's delivery was the source of much immitation when I was young,a perfect subject much like Mick,and nobody could tell if you actually knew the words,lol.........................................This tune is best suited for listening with yer peddle to the metal,top down,on the autobahn

awesome: Wow, that guy is good! I enjoyed that very much.

awesome:  Uuuummmmmm, is it....oh wait...I know...*snaps fingers, scrunches eyes, looks skyward* don't tell me, is it Chris Isaak?....no wait wait, don't tell me.....it's um Elvis Costello...no, that's not it...it's Elvis PRESLEY.  Is it?  Am I right?  Do I win anything?

Dolittle:

I thought he sounded like Buddy too... and we know who this sounds like:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfKmoBYZWz0

Dolittle:  You think he sounds like Buddy Holly?  I dunno, maybe the inflection,  the modulation of his voice in the performance (some call it a hiccup), but not really the sound.  Of course, Holly has that velvet smooth sound of the south.  But, listen again to Teenage HJead, then listen to Buddy Holly singing

Jim Dandy: That guy sounds a lot like Buddy Holly....and the band is very good.

Jim Dandy:  That band rocks.

This band is probably the Canadian version of The Ramones,had a taste of success and lots of promise,but circumstances worked against them.Like The Ramones,they stuck around and could always fill a hall,they still do

I like this version.  It has a longer intro, and less hard angles than the album version.

This is interesting.  It's almost a visual depiction of his opinion on the origin of rock n roll - like way back - ancestral.  This is a solo performance.

Jim Dandy:  Great song!  I've always loved it.  That's some fine animation to have been done with Paint.  I'm impressed.  Thanks.

TexasToest: He passed Sept 7 2003,the Letterman show was done 3 months prior..........might as well end the tribute with his big hit

This is different.  He's morphing.  Watch this, and I'll show you one of his more recent videos as soon as I got find it again.  Hahahaha!

Jim Dandy:  Wpw!  Really?  I wish I'd caught that show.  What year did Zevon die?

TexasToest: Dave knew he was dying,he was the only guest that night,quite a tribute

Thank you, Dandy-Pie.  He was great, as in stupendous, just too short-lived.  It's sad, isn't it?  That so many of the most talented die early in life.  

TexasToest: Hi just ot home from the Beverley Knight concert! She was great! Loads of energy, passion, stage presence, and an amazing voice! Could really see & hear all the soul deva influences! I thought she was a cross between Whitney Houston & Tina Turner
