I get help from a lot of great players. RG Stark, Bill Black, Eric Hisaw, Ron Flynt, Vicente Rodriguez, Steve Royal, Penny Jo Pullus, Suzanne Sherwin, Walter Tragert...just to drop a few local luminary names. Without them I am a folkie...who rocks...
Influences
Sunday school and campfires; Beatles, Motown, and Dylan; Loretta, Tammy, and Emmylou; Billie and Sarah, Chrissy H. and Lucinda. Everything over the years. I have always loved George Jones and Otis Redding.
Sounds Like
The inside of a girl’s head when she’s trying to be good, but apparently was just born bad. Or maybe she’s trying to be bad and was born good. Can you tell the difference?
Good legs as a child, potential in Sunday school teaching. Oops, got a guitar, Louisville, Kentucky: Bob Dylan and Buffy St. Marie, circa long time ago. Beat. Wrong turn, first band, Louisville: Heat Wave and Motown, circa 1982. Beat beat. New York City: Tammy and Loretta, circa 1986. Beat beat beat. Austin, Texas: original tunes at last, circa NOW. Beat beat beat beat...
Yeehaw now yall, yesiree bo diddly. ...Where you there when someone told me (someone from New Hamster I believe) that they have a great aunt in West Texas named Willamena Roberta, goes by the name of Billy Bob? Woo doggie!
And yes, I did see the Bwwunny pic - in fact I commented on your comment about it on Maggie's page. But look at me! You CANT look worse than this shit!
And that positively frightening one of me and Dan: I'm saying, 'I want a covered bridge on mah land, next to our oil wells. Daddy, get me one. '
Objectivity? Oh, that thing. That's probably the reason why I haven't written a song in so long...
No, I haven't heard that Bela Fleck song, but it sounds like maybe I don't want to. I don't usually like stalker songs... i.e. the one I just blogged about this week...
There is one that I do remember liking, though, written by Kacey Jones and recorded by Marshall Chapman some 10-plus years ago, called "Just To Torture Myself." Best stalker song ever, as I recall. I might have to look that one up...
Hey you - Sorry I had to sneak out... It's what I do, mostly... I hate goodbyes, you know.
But you were fabulous. I'm afraid I might have sucked. I wish I coulda heard myself better, so I'd know for sure. But I could hear you just fine and you rocked.
apparently so...William Penn was no slouch. intr.v. strove (strv), striv·en (strvn) or strived, striv·ing, strives 1. To exert much effort or energy; endeavor. 2. To struggle or fight forcefully; contend: strive against injustice
Nope. That I can handle. It's the 6am barking and the oblivious dog owners who choose not hear it and can't be bothered to try and control their animals.
Just wanted to say how much I love-love-LOVE the new cd! I mean, I love every song, and you sound great, and the band and the production are just fabulous. I'd be awfully proud if I were you...
Bonny Holme So sorry I missed your show tonight...I am sure ya rocked 'em! I had planned on being there, but I got a last minute call to play a gig with Lucas Hudgins. See ya soon!
You are a rockstar, Missy. You and your prom dress, too. Tonight was the most fun I've had in eons. Seriously, eons. Thanks for that. And for an amazing show! (Best band ever. I coveteth them - you lucky child.)
Hey Bonny, Looking forward to listen to new record. Yeah, Tim Krekel, I like his music. I just have one record Happy Town though. I was pretty surprised you know him....I see, Louisville. I've been there one time. It was long time ago....ah, Churchill Downs was beautiful.
Anyway hope see you the September. By the way I love your dogs...
