Uh...wasn't that Bill Monroe? Grisman did sort of invent "Dawg music" which is 30's style swing music on bluegrass instuments. Grisman has hardly eschewed commercial recording. He has had a very successful recording career. LouieB

Mine too..... Frankly I am not surprised people don't know UT anymore. Its getting to be a very long time ago now. (And of course the funny thing about this song is it sounds like he is saying black guy.....) LouieB

Fred Lonberg-Holm Quartet (with Glenn Kotche) - Bridges Freeze Before Roads. LouieB

Big time vibes and feel free to call.... As the saying goes....getting old isn't easy.... LouieB

Not briliant but okay.....(I wonder if he is going to do the Catfish Hunter song....) Yea...that is worth getting excited about..two of my personal faves as well. LouieB

I once ate in the restaurant where Joey Gallo was killed..... LouieB

I am seeing him Saturday night. As long as the songs sound vaguely like they are supposed to I will be happy. LouieB

Weren't the 60s the greatest...!!! LouieB Also...You are the Sunshine of my LIfe. LouieB

Jay is now on Rykodisc?? I had no idea. LouieB

Save an embarrassing trip to the big box stores and buy stuff on the internet where you know you can find it. LouieB

did we run jono11 off already?? Wow, that was a short tenure. LouieB

Clapton is God....or is he???? LouieB

Good enough, but not the best ever.....London Calling is far better also. LouieB

They sound like a spooky duet. Maybe the Carrot Top records site has some clips.Yup..they do. LouieB

The first and still the best....Blonde on Blonde... LouieB

I found the youtube clips and frankly the fact that Jeff didn't flat out deck the guy is fortunate for that fan. Jeff certainly was within his rights to do so, what a dick. I understand why Jeff apologized, but frankly that kind of thing is totally ridiculous. You can tell Jeff was totally thrown and upset, but as the consumate performer he is, he managed to continue. LouieB

the Handsome Family (formerly of Chicago, now of New Mexico) performed at a show Jeff currated this summer at the Vic. All of their CDs are good that I have heard, but In the Air is particularly good. They put out these wonderful DIY albums. Sally Timms covers The Sad Milkman on one of her albums. The Handsome family is a group I would love to see Jeff collaborate with on some songs some day when he has time. I think they would be a perfect match. LouieB I never saw them open for Jeff, but they are most certainly worth seeing. The first time I saw them they opened for the Waco Brot

Every Day is Halloween - Ministry (Yea, I have the 12 inch single....if you want a tape...) LouieB

Well get him out of bed and get him working on this..... LouieB

Seeing Glenn solo is always a delight. It was sure fun to see him in a setting with other percussionists and in an improv a few months back. LouieB

Are the Smoking Popes opening for him, for old time sake? LouieB

It wasn't recorded? Bummer...and I don't even listen or collect shows, but I thought it was worthy of documentation for sure. LouieB

Gawd that is funny..... now will someone post up the two youtube links? LouieB

Nels is just so great and brings a presence to Wilco that makes the entire group special. I think the anticipation when it was announced that he was joining the band has been fulfilled. Meanwhile if you want to check out the Chicago Improvisors, including Ken Vandermark and his crowd, they perform every Wednesday at the Hideout. I have only made it to one of these events, but if others ever want to go, please feel free to PM me, because I sometimes need the extra motivation on a school night of some company. 11/1 (Jim Baker) and 11/8 (Vandermark 5) both promise to be very cool.
