I’m a cover model
This is a quick scan that Cathy sent me of the recently released Luce DVD. We were at the taping for this dvd with our friends Shawn and Rachel. All of us made it into the DVD. Apparently a lot. Not hard when you’re standing in the front row. Visit the band’s website at www.luceband.com

Testing the email posting ability
If you can read this. You’re too close.
Update: well. Now that I have THAT working, I should be able to at least start my mo-blogging back up. We’ll have to see how sending pictures here will do. hmm.
So. sorry I haven’t been around, AGAIN!!! Been SO busy, and lazy, and well, just not very talkative. I recorded three INCREDIBLE Willy Porter concerts last week, and one great Luce concert too, and I have to get to work on those. Luce tonight and tomorrow, if Dylan gets us on “the list” for saturday’s show. <crosses fingers>
So back to the grindstone. Got a GUI to work on.

Peter Mulvey night 1

Peter Mulvey in Felton, CA tuesday night. Started sparsely populated. Maybe 10 or 11 people. By the end of the night I think there were about 20. Not TOO shabby. Hopefully there’ll be a better turnout tomorrow in San Jose. I know that I’m helping out. Plans are to have 5 or 6 of us.
Greg Trooper opened up and right away I’m a big fan. I’ve never heard him before, much less heard OF him. Count me in though. Great singer/songwriter. Very personable on stage which goes a long way toward my liking you.
After Greg’s done it’s time for a break. Check on game 3 of the World Series. Bottom of the 9th. Astros have tied it up. Awesome pitching to get out of a jam. Bottom of the 10th. The girl behind the bar, Amy, cracks the whip and Peter gets up on stage.
Peter never disappoints. Awesome songs. Witty banter. One of the songs he does is a cover of “Let’s Dance” by David Bowie. Sweet! I love Bowie. But what to follow with…? I suggest “I Gotta Get Drunk” by Willie Nelson but darnit if that isn’t a song that Jeffrey Foucault does. Shoot. But Peter steps right up and plays a song I’m calling “Hungry Man.” Great song. I still think the drunk song is more fun, if only because, well, it’s about alcohol. <grin>
Finishes his main set with one of my favorites. “Sad, Sad, Sad, Sad, and Far Away From Home” off his “Kitchen Radio” album. Oof. Astros collapse in the 14th!! How do you walk in a run? YAY!! Go Sox! Sorry. Got distracted on the way home.
The encore is a Warren Zevon song with Greg. Awesome! Then one last solo song. Great show. Totally looking forward to the next two nights! Dunno if i’ll report so fully. Prolly not.
GO SEE PETER!!! You won’t be sorry.

The Lobster License Plate Song
Cathy and I (heh. I can say that now.) went to see Catie Curtis last night at the The Freight and Salvage in Berkeley. If you EVER get a chance to see her, then you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO!!! Beautiful voice, great stories. She’s amazing.
Opening up for her last night was Mark Erelli. He’s great too. Go see him, you won’t be disappointed. The point of all this is that he played a song last night during the encore that was sooooo funny. It’s about Maine’s license plate.
Now, the State o’ Maine’s license is the only license ..
with a dead animal on it!
Big red lobster straight from the pot!
Sure makes a Mainers’ heart beat with pride a lot!
Makes you loosen up your belt! Then you wanna go and melt ..
some butter .. or some Blue Bonnet!
Cuz, the State o’ Maine’s license is the only license ..
with a dead animal on it!
The State o’ Maine’s license is the only license ..
with a dead animal on it!Coulda been a potatah (there’s a lot in this state!) ..
or a fiddlehead from the forest!
Coulda been a pine tree .. Or a MOOSE, doncha see ..
Or a schooner-salin’, cone-totin’ tourist!
Coulda been a blueberry .. or the Vinalhaven ferry ..
or a ship bound for seas uncharted ..
But, the State o’ Maine’s license is tryin’ to entice us
with an animal that’s .. departed!
The State o’ Maine’s license is tryin’ to entice us
with an animal that’s .. departed!Now .. suddenly, in Kittery, you’re CRAVIN’ for that critter!
But, it’s only auto-suggestion!
Cuz on every bumper seen .. there’s a lobster that’s been STEAMED ..
and it’s stirrin’ up .. your digestion!
Come to MAINE for vacation! Where a dead crustaceon
is purtier than a sonnet! .. YES ..
The State o’ Maine’s license is the only license ..
with a dead .. animal on it!
The State o’ Maine’s license is the only license ..
with a dead .. animal on it!

Peter Mulvey
YEAH!!!! He’s coming back to Cali. Three shows I can go see. And a fourth I can wrangle over.
Dunno if anyone noticed (since my site isn’t all that popular. fine by me. those that care, I say) but I’ve added an MP3 on the right side of the homepage. I’ll be putting songs I love and enjoy over there. I’m gonna update it so that you can go back and hear past songs (Macromedia Flash will be required) soon, but for now, enjoy Peter singing a Townes Van Zandt song. I discovered this song by listening to Nancy Griffith. She’s got a great story about this song. I’ll see if I can find it amongst my many recordings of her shows.
And please, do yourself a favor, go see him. He’s a local Milwaukee artist and is amazing, funny, friendly, etc.
