My wife and I still laugh about the crowd-surfing "incident." She claims I tried to steal Jeff's wallet from his jeans as I was passing him back. I deny that. I believe they played "Something In The Air" (by Thunderclap Newman) that night - which was fantastic.

Thanks for the excellent recaps, Paul. Reading them gave me a touch of regret. I attended the first one (had a great time) and had tickets for the second one but got COVID and couldn't go. I've boycotted SBS ever since over the way the sponsor handled refunds for #2 (i.e. "no refunds") and now I think I've aged out of festivals. I hope all who attended had fun - the line-up was stellar.

Ha! I was at that one too. Kind of an uncomfortable evening.

Before he joined Guided By Voices, Bobby Bare Jr. had a nice career as a solo artist. He's backed by members of My Morning Jacket on this one.

For Jeff's sake, I hope none of you are selected to sit on the jury in the Ray vs. Jeff copyright infringement trial!

Loved this book written by one of the founders of Bloodshot Records.

Bill Callahan has a new one coming out in February.
