a new video for a new song from the forthcoming "test pattern cd".

hey friends and others with whom i've crossed paths,

it's been a while since i've written y'all, but dang it all to "h" "e" double hockey sticks not a lot has been going on.   but then, the big whistle blows and somebody starts up the big machinery and it's back to work.  or at least, that what i'm hoping.

there's a couple of fun shows coming up.  i'm playing guitar with chad harvey and this saturday we're playing grubfest  (yes, i said "grubfest")  in osgood, indiana.   conveniently (or un-conveniently depending how you think) located between indianapolis and cincinnati with reasonable proximity to louisville, osgood is hosting this event that features warrant (yes, i said warrant) and a roster of other bands (including the afore mentioned chad harvey.)

you can find the down low here:  www.thegrubfest.com

just so you know...tickets the day of the show are $40, but a mere $25 if you buy on line.  what to do with the extra 15 bucks?  you can buy your favorite guitarist a beer for a start.

if that is too soon or too far for you to make; chad, myself, and the rest of the band are playing saturday aug. 29th at the foo bar too in nashville.   this, my friends, is a free show with a killer lineup of americana, roots country and rockabilly bands.  what to do with the money you save by coming to a free show?

you can start by buying your favorite guitarist a beer.

my smile of the week came in the form of an email from nancy apple.  for those of you not hip to this cadillac cowgirl, i implore you to check out  her stuff (www.nancyapple.com & www.myspace.com/nancyapple).  anyway...nancy , our good friend phil lee, and yours truly were lucky enough to have some folks come out and video our show for release on dvd.   actually, there is now part 2, for those of y'all that saw the first one already.

the smile came when nancy sent me a late posted review of the show.  you can read what the critic has to say here:  http://genecdvd.blogspot.com/

and view the videos for yourself to see if he got it right here:

but enough about me.  how are you?  and what did you do this summer? 

good.  take care friends and hope to see you soon.
