Tom Waits, Duke Ellington, Bill Frisell, Ella Fitzgerald, Los Lobos, Greg
Brown, on and on with this crowded pantheon. But also, and perhaps moreso, my
friends and colleagues: Jeffrey Foucault, Kris Delmhorst, David Goodrich, Erin
McKeown, Chris Smither, Pamela Means, Anita Suhanin (the best singer I have
ever heard), Tim Gearan, Sean Staples, Tod Weidner of Shrug, all the Sessions
Americana guys, Chris Pureka... all us little eddies in the river.
Hi Peter, my friend, I just dropped in to listen to some good music to relax from a hard working day. And that..s just what I found on your page once again. Thanks a lot for the friendship and the great songs … and if you like listen to mine …. All the best for you and all your friends Shiregreen from Germany

Thanks for the add. ¶ People hear only what they want, so facts alone won't wake them; they'll need inspiration too. An echo of an echo of Buddha or Jesus becomes encrusted in ritual, and loses context and content. Still, we write what we can. Listen most carefully to questions. ¶ This world's diverse evils have a common root: Bullies, liars, thieves, and murderers — in market, government, and elsewhere — believe we're all separate, motivated only by self-interest, greed, fear. They want us to share that belief, for they use it to justify themselves, to keep us apart, to control politics and the economy, perpetuating war and poverty. Their power comes not so much from cabals as from trojan memes, ubiquitous propaganda, implicit in ads and in their framing of the news. ¶ But they're mistaken about our motives. You and I have found love inside ourselves and our friends. It's in everyone, if we can just wake them, for we're all one flesh and blood. Let's spread that vision, for until we do our other advances will be minor and temporary. The bureacracy of brutality cannot stand if we waken its workers. ¶ The ideological battle between love and fear will shape the world. Its outcome is not yet written. Watching, voting, shopping are not enough. If you haven't already, join the global conversation about what we all can become, in whatever way feels right for you. Worldwide enlightenment has no precedent, no rules; we must discover and erase them en route. Make love not war is as serious as Orwell and as light as "Chocolat." For a start, just talk with people; that may not sound like much, but really it's huge. ¶ Each of us knows only part of the song. Keep singing, hoping, resisting, questioning. Hand in hand, we may heal this world yet. — Eric
Hello! Can't wait for your September 20 show at Turner Hall. We are encouraging all show go-ers to ride their bikes to the show. We'll have additional bike racks at Turner and Alterra Coffee is providing a FREE coffee voucher for anyone that rides in. Pretty cool!
I hope that guitar is in a really strong case! The Central Division races are heating up...are you gonna velcro a transistor on the handlebars to listen to the games? :-) Cheers to your tree-trunk legs Mulvey.
Sorry we had to leave early last week... our group was a little too loud for your loyal listeners. :) I was sad to leave, but happy we could come at all! Hope you come back soon (I'll be sure the group knows better what they're in for this time!)!!
