Duprees Diamond Blues Shakedown Street She Belongs To Me Scarlet Begonias--> Fire on the Mountain Me and Bobby McGee Casey Jones China Cat Sunflower --> I Know You Rider Ripple Catfish John Birdsong Rosalee McFall Alabama Getaway Playing next week is Tuesday It was Veteran's Day and several of us were not at work.   Hip-Hip Horay!

No Larry B., No Brotpen but Jordan Weenz made his first Deadstein appearance.  We played some freaky music some bluegrass and more freaky stuff.  Jordan was on his mandolin and I was on the old five string banjo and we played some cool bopping bluegrass stuff.  The China Cat was memorable as was the Catfish.  Jordan's apparently only been playing the mandolin for two months but he pulls it off well.  The Birdsong got cut for food.  It was a pretty long first set considering we started late, close to 8:00 clock.  I brought the POD in and split it and mixed it using the volume peddle's A/B fader into the Twin.  At first it was shocking me, or the S. sweets were and it was pretty spooky.  I aborted the setup and then got back into it.   Once I had enough confidence it was going to be killing me I liked it.

We were playing so well that we forgot about food.  Johnny was Johnny on the spot and pulled off the great Burger King run.  Really a nice job.   He also got me the newest Buckethead CD, released on the  extra-crispy label.   I wanted to listen to it on the way home but I put it in backwards in my trunk and got a Er6 message on my car radio.

This is in the midst of the Phil/Dylan tour and there was lost of talk of it in the room.  Jordan and Scott were in New Haven last night and Larry B. is the middle of somewhere he only knows.  Tremendous traffic getting in to the city and  it is a cold and crispy night, coldest of the season so far.  Kevin   has a cast on for the leg he broke last week and it looks as if the Mets are soon to pick up David Wells for their assault on that team we don't talk about at Deadstein.  

Till next Tuesday.

Not that I am Micky Hart's promoter but he will be playing together with the Paul Winter Consort on Dec. 9, Dec. 10 and Dec. 11 at the Catherdral of St. John the Divine for the Winter Solstice Celebration. I saw one of these things by Paul Winter at St John's (W. 112th Street) about 5 years ago, without Micky and it was some cool, mystfying music in a very cool venue. It was a worthwhile experience and I can see how Micky would fit into that crowd. Box office info is available at 212-662-2133 and general info is at 212-581-1212. Or you can llok up info at www.livingmusic.com.

Jam was quite good. I very much appreciated Kevin's playing on the Alabama Getaway. It was good to have the Weenz on board. His playing was well-mixed and tasty. I really liked the rich and methodical China Cat. I thought that the Scarlet was going great but the jam seemed to get cut short back into the final vocal verse. I hope to see you all at the Phil and Bob show. Till next time.

I just want to remind everyone, the Forums page is open for business. Now that I see some nice movement on today's comments, some of you may want to branch over to the Forums page. It's use of branches and threads may prove to be a more effective way for this type of communication to go on? Who knows? Scott was kind enough to dabble in the experience and while I'm sure it's not like seeing Phil and Friends, it does offer an nice alternative to the same old Ratdog.
