A friend of mine works in a recording studio in Atlanta and is recording some new stuff with Trey Anastasio.

Hey Landlocked...would that be Paul at Tree?

(i was at a recording session of the first onstage appearance of his new band a few months ago at Tree, so maybe we know the same crowd. fyi, it was wild, Trey literally bawled through the entire set, this is a big transition for him.)

I could sense that Trey was very emotional at Bonaroo last year, when he was backed by the an orchestra from one of those big cities in TN, I cannot remember which. I cannot say it was great, standing in 16 inches of mud at night after a rainy and miserable hot weekend. Perhaps if I wore my suit, I would have enjoyed the performance more.

Good show with Trey on Charlie Rose. Awesome performance on Austin City Limits. :dudeiswired:

Kurt, I forgot to tell you that I saw Blueground Undergrass open for Sam Bush on Sat night. They were pretty good. I also enjoyed Ivan Neville's Dumstaphunk, the Greyhounds, FreeWorld, Carl Denson's Tiny Universe, and Drew Emmitt. You missed some good tunes.

Yes, Ivan's band is good! Everyone should check them out, they're the new guard of the Nevilles. we opened for them last Thursday. I'm glad they rocked, because we actually had to cut short our week in SoWal last week to get back to ATL in order to do it. i was snivelly about that initially, but a night of dancing to N'awlins funk cured the blues pretty quick.

so you liked Blueground huh? i heard they were not sounding so good lately, glad to hear otherwise. fiddle player used to play with us.

No, his name is Tom. I just emailed him to find the name of the studio he is with. He went to Full Sail down in Orlando and he is finally making some money now. That internship was hard on him but apparently the payoff is good.

Musicmatch co-exists reasonably well with most stuff (factory installed on a Dell?). Suggestion - iTunes is an apple-centric ported to wintel platfrorm as an afterthought. Maybe go with Smilin' Joe's fav. I know Realplayer is robust, co-exists well with most stuff, and one of the two primary vid/audio players on most net sites (Windows Media Player is the other). If all you're looking for is a quick no groaning install and snatching some music, maybe go that way. D/L pricing and tune preview is same as iTunes. Let me know if you want a link to the RP site...

Don't believe the Windows platform is an afterthought and all that implies. My two sons have Windows , iPods and iTunes and it works beautifully - they love it. Try it.

I said that Blueground U. was "pretty good." It was an okay show, kind of laid back compared to the other acts I mentioned, and I was feeling a little like Phunk. In a small venue, without other bands, I think they would have been great. I mention it to Kurt because they played here at Baytowne Wharf and I missed them.

I guess I went to the show thinking that it would highlight both acts, and it highlighted only John Hiatt. I like the NMA and JH, individually. Also, I think the sound was aweful. Perhaps too much asphalt. They played in a big parking lot in front of a big hotel, and had a crappy sound tech to boot!

Mike Gordon, of Phish, and the well-known singer songwriter, Leo Koetke, have an album out, entitled Clone (?). It is a great combination featuring both artists' songs. It is one of my favorites at the moment. I guess I was hoping that the NMA and JH would be as great working together, but I missed the funkyness of the NMA. It was like any band could have been playing for John. Not all was lost at the venue because I saw so many great performances, including a small town, unknown artist who has a couple of CDs, which you can sample online at www.PatrickFitzsimons.com
I highly recommend purchasing a CD. He has something unlike most artists today, and seems like a really cool guy too. RiverOtter, for some reason I think you will really enjoy his music.

SJ-

What does the Clone album sound like? I've heard Mike has been doing some bluegrass/folk kind of stuff and I was wondering if this was it.

I will simply say that it is a great combination of Mike and Leo. Who would have ever thought that they could make such a fantastic album. Leo's guitar certainly stands out, and some songs has Mike singing, and others with Leo. Awesome album.
Try out the songs here on Realplayer. The first thirty seconds of each song will give you a good idea of the sound. Leo Kottke and Mike Gordon - Clone

Crap! I don't have real player installed here. I just bought the album so I'll have to wait a few days. Thanks!

I was able to listen to some of them at amazon.
Car Carrier Blues - I have many times felt the same way. What a funny song.
