Let's Go Out And Have Some Fun

I'm sorry I won't be able to make Sunday - well, I could probably show up later, maybe around 8...
How about we go on a Folkface field trip on Friday, April 24th? The beautiful Julie Doiron is playing at Cakeshop. She's from Canada! She lives in New Brunswick! I love her, love her, love her. Patricia you could do a good job of singing her songs...

Oooh and last night's Great Lake Swimmers show was heavenly. I adore them. So mellow, so beautiful - I love playing with them so much...lucky me, lucky me! Guess which one I have a crush on:

next folkface

dearies,
let's meet here at 4pm on Sunday. Kate will have to go early for her every six weeks or so hoohah, and I don't think Peter is back yet, but we may have a guest appearance by Shakey Dave Pollack, an amazing harmonica player (of M.Shanghai and more), and it will be great to hang and play as always. I will be out of town for the next two or three Sundays after that.....
I have sent yall two songs via gmail, one is my favorite Vic Chesnutt song ever, Woodrow Wilson. I share this with you because I trust that you won't complain that its the most depressing song ever written. I think its amazing. Also I've sent Cinder and Smoke by Iron and Wine. I'd like to try to write something for folkface along these lines....tell me what you think. I like the floaty ending.
If you can come on Sunday, booze or dessert would be great to bring. Look forward.

the next folkface will be here on Sunday the 12th at 4pm. I hope everyone can come. Word seems to be getting out, and a couple more luminaries have mentioned they want to join us sometime soon. I hope you are all okay with guest appearances. I am as long as no one calls the police. I've missed yall this week and look forward.

well this guy seems to be the real deal, he appeared on hee-haw. I also think he should be credited for starting that whole pants falling down thing.

The first String Bean


There is a track on this rekkid attributed to a singer called String Bean; Bobby Colquitt & String Bean doing Million Dollar Play Girl. I heard it on WFMU.
