Sly like a Foxwell

Happy Birthday

i toasted you friday night, but despite all rumor, i did not fall down. hope you had as good a day as i did.

the Martha Stewart houseparty experience

I heard "someone elses song" at the Woodcraft store in Madison. think it helped me spend too much .

really, just how fucking high do you have to be to forget Tambourine man?

we were on a sunday night "dr demento drive" probably in the same mental state as after a dead show. about 45 min of the show replayed, and it still ended on time. there were 3 lights taht we at first thought were on towers, then they started doing all the crazy maunevers you always hear about . dead standstill to super fast, some bouncing about, then one. all of us remember exactly the same thing. very strange

Probably a 1/2 hour-45 minutes. I was with another guy in a car. He was driving.

same scenario. except with 3 other people in the car

I Disbelieve.

 

 

I had a time-repeating experience, as well. Truly bizarre. I did not see anything in the sky though.

how much time? out of curiosuity

I dunno.

I'm just glad this thread was started by someone other than that "Hop on pop" "HoppTodd" "Todd-hop" guy.

there would be no threads without Pop Todd.

i had an experience with time repeating after seeing some funny lights in the sky.

Those people don't live in Chicago where he has been a staple on WXRT from the beginning and where he has played nearly every year or more often since then. No one can help but know him if they listen to XRT even occasionally. He used to be played all the time. (Wilco once or twice opened for him at the Riviera....)

i have a show that was broadcast on WXRT, and it is simply BADASSS

clearly WXRT has good taste

that would explain it.

thanks much

for some reason , the attachment editor dosen;t come up when i try to reply in the UMMMM subforum. it comes up in every other section. am i missing something?

i have several i have never watched , including Okemah, and accelerate. i watched shake it off once. seems sad

Yup that's correct. I'm pretty sure I am going to go the Mac Mini with an external route. So one more question: anyone know about Firewire 400 capable external drives? I'm thinking about the Seagate Free Agent Pro 500GB.

seagate drives are

John Hiatt is one of the best American songwriters,I think.

I wonder why he

listening now. it's beautiful.

thanks for sharing the eperience with those not fortunate enough to attend

I remember being highly disappointed that his live show would be wasted on Hootie fans.

He's playing in Madison mid July. think i need to get to that one

he did play some shows with wilco in like 98 . not sure who was opening for who. at least it takes some of the shame away from opeing for Hootie

Now, keep track of how long that takes - I am curious.

it took me approx 41/2 hrs to dl the HD audio version. FYI

I prefer to believe that didn't happen.

i was also living in ignorange of the fact that he would open for Hootie

John Hiatt, whose rootsy songs have been recorded by artists as diverse as Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop, Willie Nelson and B.B. King, will receive the Americana Music Association's lifetime achievement award for songwriting.

<script language=JavaScript>OAS_AD('ArticleFlex_1'); The AMA announced the selection Thursday and will present the honor to Hiatt during its Sept. 18 awards show at the Ryman Auditorium.

"It's a privilege to honor John Hiatt," said Jed Hilly, the group's executive director. "He is the essence of what the Americana songwriter award is all about -- a true artist, a performer and songwriter whose work is steeped in integrity."

Past recipients include Nelson, Rodney Crowell, Guy Clark, Cowboy Jack Clement, John Prine and Billy Joe Shaver.

Born and raised in Indianapolis, Hiatt moved to Nashville when he was 18 and got a songwriting job with Tree Publishing.

He signed with Epic Records and released his debut album "Hangin' Around the Observatory" in 1974. Neither that album nor the follow-up sold well and the label dropped him, but one of the tracks, "Sure As I'm Sittin' Here," became a hit for Three Dog Night.

After some label changes, Hiatt found his niche with 1987's "Bring the Family," a loose, rootsy outing on A&M Records that's largely defined his sound ever since. The album found modest chart success, as did the follow-up, "Slow Turning."

By 1990, other artists were dipping into his catalog, solidifying his reputation as a songwriter's songwriter. Bonnie Raitt had one of the biggest hits of her career with Hiatt's "Thing Called Love" in 1989.

His new album, "Same Old Man," hits stores May 27.

it's 1.43gb, at current speeds, i'd say 31/2 hrs

i got my e-mail within seconds. dowloading the massive 1.5 gb wave files at home, and listening to the mp3 version right now. sounding good

Happy B-day
