Papa Bear

Just thought I would put up a few pictures of my dear Dad on his Harley Davidson. Look at that shiny chrome! The first photo was taken in Frederick, Maryland and the second I took out the car window while we were crossing the Bay Bridge. I know he can't wait for his recovery, so he can ride again! He was very tired today, and has been very quiet, but I know its just all the chemicals they've been putting in him, and he should be back to normal by Thanksgiving. I have had such wonderful responses from artists today about my project at UAMS, it's been getting me quite emotional. Thank you everyone for your support!

Son Volt

I was looking on Jambase to see if any good shows were coming to Nashville this week- and Son Volt will be down the block on Thursday!! Their site has a music player with 5 songs, (check out Jet Pilot) and their blog has more info on their adventures. Lead singer Jay Ferrar also gave a good interview here, in July, about their new cd and his past collaborations.

Its actually the first stint of their fall tour- with opener Sera Cahoone- a talented guitar player and songwriter who was the Band of Horses drummer until 2006. I can't stop listening to her song Baker Lake. "Everyone keeps saying the best is already gone, but I know what we got coming round. The days are alive and filled with changes, its only half what we got coming round." You can hear it on her site along with 5 other songs.
