Wilco are changing up the set lists big time & playing with Bob Weir...which for me means...they might play with Richard Thompson too & probably most importantly, they are playing 75 minutes a show- RIGHT ON!!!! I am now in for both Toronto (where I think I've got a great single...sorry to my friends who are also fence sitting, but I'm taking that one & running with it) & most probably Darien Lake (Richard Thompson isn't opening there, Ryan Bingham is, & I truly hate that venue, but it looks like there are plenty of absolutely great seats at very low, & probably going t

The fifth & final golden ticket has been found & it turns out, get this, this time, Charlie is a gal...the Wilco Magic continues!! Fizzy lifting drink for all my friends, mind the Oompa-Loopas now, on to the Wonkavator!!!!! Damn the torpedoes & full steam head, (& mixing our fantasy metaphors) now it's just...second star to the right and straight on till morning- and off to Solid Sound we all a-go-go!!! Roll call for The Magnificent Seven!! John Syrkin, Chuck Lockwood, Stan Merrell, Leigh Zurek, Eric Katz, Dan Aloi & yours truly John C. Link

**Finally I'm also selling a 1982 Fullerton era '52 reissue Telecaster for $1950. Here's the terrible tale of the two Telecasters... I just had a terrible experience where I bought a 1982 Fullerton reissue Tele & the kid I bought it from (from Georgia) is refusing to honor our agreement & take it back. I had a turn around time of having three days to play it before I decided. At first he was embarassed & saying that he wouldn't have the money right away. I let him know that was OK. Then I told him his Tele was great (and it truly is), but not better than a 1989 reissue Telecaster I

I'm selling my Jeff Tweedy Gibson SG, at exactly what I paid for it, $1750 (including my shipping costs). I thought I'd come here first...and it is with a bit of a conflicted & slightly heavy heart that I do so. It's also with the hopes that this makes someone else's day. As I'm sure most folks already know, these have been discontinued, & there were only 300-400 of them ever made. Contact me at "HareDurga@yahoo.com" & let me know your from the ViaChicago Forum.

The extended forecast for for 6/21 & 6/22 looks great!! Fri Jun 21: Cloudy; High:79°; Low: 56°; Chance of rain: 10%; Wind: SW at 5 mph Sat Jun 22; Mostly Cloudy; High: 78° ;Low: 62°; Chance of rain: 10% Wind: WSW at 6 mph http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/North+Adams+MA+USMA0282:1:US

Thanks. Yeah, even if it wasn't a Tweedy Model (and that certainly didn't hurt the situation...Wilco's my fave band in the world, & Jeff is not only about as great a songwriter as I can think of, but I'd also venture that he's the most underrated guitarist in the world...just amazing- on both electric & acoustic) I'd have to say that I can't think of an SG that ticks off pretty much everything I could want, including that killer color...

I actually think the headstock on the Breedlove looks amazingly cool...the body shape just seems odd to me, though I'm sure it sounds great (they are great guitars...but, like Lowdens, which are the ones Richard Thompson now plays, they are just too much for me price wise)...and the Martin is beautiful & I'm sure sounds great too (I just already have that Martin 000-18, so it's too close to do another one that similar)...your trio looks amazing though!!!!!! And yeah that Tweedy SG is THE SG of all-time!!

The 61 D-18 was the last guitar to go...they all hurt, but that was the worst for me...I did long meditations at the time, & what I got was essentially- at this time you need to let these go, and if/when it's time these types of things will come back to you...and so they did. I tried out a late 50's Martin & then a 2007 D-18 Golden Era that was just past being broken in & I was very surprised to find that I preferred the Golden Era over the 50's. And I prefer the term "Gear Head"

Well I'm clearly late to this party, but...I moved out of NYC in 2000 & hit some major life storms (including a wrist injury that kept me from playing guitar, at all, for close to 3 years) & life changes & I ended up selling all my musical equipment (1982 '57 Reissue Tobacco Sunburst Stratocaster, mid-60's refinished Silver Sparkle Jazzmaster, mid-60's Mapleglo Rickenbacker 360-12, 1961 Martin D-18, Fender Jazz Bass, Fender Rhodes Piano, Tama Drums & a Silverface early 70's Fender Deluxe Reverb). After some time deeply immersed in Shamanism & then grad school for Oriental M

The 4th Golden Ticket has been found, by another female (Veruca or Violet), and now...that leaves...just Charlie to go (if it works like the film it'll be a guy, but the 5th will be "Charlie" in Spirit)...I'm taking my last bar to Buffalo tomorrow to be opened by Ms. Annie Feldman...I'll warn you all that she gave me a winning lottery ticket last year ($50) as part of a groovy little birthday package, so I gotta say the Karma & Mojo is such that I wouldn't bet against her.. she is "kinda young, kinda now- Charlie"...and "...kinda free, kinda wow- Charlie!..." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v

Well I'm not buying the hardcover, but it's cool it's happening...hope it's a good one... http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/products/tim+grierson/wilco/9434702/ "Grammy Award winning Wilco rose from the ashes of one of the most respected alt-country groups of the 1990s, Uncle Tupelo, to emerge as a celebrated (and far more popular) act in their own right. Led by frontman Jeff Tweedy, Wilco have evolved from a country-rock band into an eclectic indie-rock collective that touches on many eras and genres in their music: '70s rock, country, Beach Boys-style pop, noise-rock and folk.

Anyone who feels so inclined (as in Nels)...please feel free to request "Deeper Down" on the official Wilco Shows request page for this Nelsonville gig...thanks & Blessings!! http://wilcoworld.net/#!/shows/

Right On!!

Ok, so...then...here's to the new Wilco album coming out in 2014!!!!

Call them!! They are very nice...They'll tell you that Wilco is being given as long as they want for Saturday night & they are expected to play 2 & 1/4 to 2 & 1/2 hours...I've spoken to folks there twice about this issue...If you look at the schedule there is another band, at the "Porch Stage" that isn't even going on until 11:30! I'm sure Wilco will be playing past midnight...hope to see you there I'm about 460 miles one way, with a round tripper of 110 miles a day to see both my dad & the fest... If it was a 90 min. set I probably wouldn't be taking the bait...but for a full

The full schedule is now up!! Wa-Hoo!! http://nelsonvillefest.org/2013-schedule.html I've got to balance seeing as much of the festival as I can with seeing my Pappy in Chillicothe... I'm hoping to catch Michael Hurley at least twice (guessing Friday & Sunday)... Thursday seems the least interesting...Friday I'm also hoping to catch the aforementioned Michael Hurley along with Lee Fields & The Expressions & Catpower...Saturday is the Bomb! Jonathan Richman, Calexico, Mavis Staples & of course, WILCO!! A straight run at the Main Stage from 4:00 until after midnight...amazing...a

It sure would be great, & seems like a natural...one can certainly hope so!!

So that means that these two winners are some combination of Charlie Bucket, Mike Teevee, and/or Augustus Gloop...and that one of the three of them is still at large, along with whoever it is that turns out to be Veruca Salt & Violet Beauregarde...sheesh, I'm hoping that it's Charlie that's left & that Charlie is me...or...I got four bars left & two of them are going to female friends of mine, so I'm hoping that one, or both of them, are Veruca, and/or Violet- one is part of a 50th birthday present packet for a friend that I'll deliver on 5/28 in Rochester, & another is part of

Signed right off the bat...one of my all-time favorite Wilco songs!!

Cool! I was in NYC this last weekend & picked up a half dozen from the Mast Brothers store for $40 total (3 fo $20 is their deal). I gave one to a friend in NYC (delicious, but no golden ticket)...and I guess that means the 5 golden tickets are in the other ones I bought- won't those folks (& me!) be excited when we win!!

I think I know two folks who want these...call me on my cell at (585) 813-3561...or email me at "HareDurga@yahoo.com". Thanks!!
