I hope you have framed the inspiring lyrics Steph and I struggled to part with when we last met in Greenwich and are duly paying homage each morning. Knowing you, I am sure you will be. Hey everyone The message below is from Anita. I will be away as will john but if you go then listen for us! Hi Lucy I wanted to let everyone know on the Holycombe list over here that I have a house gig here in Conker Cabin on Saturday May 9^th with Amy Wadge www.amyadge.com and our lovely Jeff is going to support. I stupidly donbt have everyonebs address (except Lievebs and she canbt make it) and I wondered if you could either send this out for me or let me have peoplebs addresses? 14 places have already been spoken for, but I can fit in another 6, 8 at a squeeze. The cost is B#17.50 each and itbs bring own food and drink. Love to you and John Anita Lieve Reckers wrote: > Yes Jeff, I was also going to ask: did you get home alright?

I'm catching up on digests. This is so true. I enjoyed reading this post, thanks. Jim L. >I mean that when you are at your low point, you can put some Joni on (choose a song that works for you) and share in your melancholy. Instead of being so very alone in whatever it is you are feeling, you can take comfort in the fact that there is another soul (Joni or the speaker in the song) that you can relate to.> ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2009 00:51:53 -0600 From: Michael Paz Subject: Brian Blade (NJC) Hi All Such a night! I just got home from an evening of music beyond wicked good. I started my evening at the Ogden Museum mixing sound for a band from Athens, Ga that I love called Modern Skirts. They are very Beatle- y and pop-y and I love them. Great harmonies and lots of weird sounds and they all play multi instruments. Check em out! They ended 15 minutes early and I was able to get up to Loyola University and see renowned New Orleans sax player Tony DaGradi and his band play Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue. Damn! With Michael Pellera (who played Sex Kills on Piano with Leslie Smith on the Pazfest CD) on Piano, Roland Guerin (who played with Jason Marsalis as well as David Lahm at the Tribute show at the Howlin' Wolf) on Bass, Rex Gregory on Alto, Jamille Williams on Trumpet, Troy Davis on Drums. This set was hot. Then my boy Brian Blade took the stage and totally killed. The packed house of mostly New Orleans finest musicians came unglued and were all very into it. The joy that Brian exudes when he plays just pours out of him. The line up of the band was different than I had seen before. Gone are the guitar player who lives in Berlin (might have been a money issue to bring him in) and my friend Dave Easley on Pedal Steel (who played on Jack Neilson's Here I Go Again). Roland Guerin played Bass, and the brilliant Jon Cowherd on Piano (who writes alot of the music for the fellowship), Melvin Butler and Myron Walden on Saxes just tore the place up. Many of Brian's teachers and fellow musicians were in the audience and if a bomb would have gone off in the place, the entire New Orleans music scene would have been depleted. There must not have been anyone else playing anywhere in town cause they were all there. By the time the show ended around 11pm I was starving to death so I split without telling him hi. I had dinner with an amazing New Orleans bass player Jesse Boyd (new album on iTunes check him out) and my new friend Andrea Gomez an amazing cello player and music industry student at Loyola. Andrea is managing Jesse and asked me to get involved with them and consult on his career. He is a hell of a composer and great bass player. I look forward to working with them. If Brian Blade comes your way definitely check him out. I can't wait to hear his new CD as a guitar player singer songwriter. I am so wound up I don't think I can go to sleep so I guess I will see who the last three kids get into the Idol competition. Ah music-so much of it-so little time. Sleep well JMDL and GOOD MORNING UK and Europe!
