Gil merely brought the massive yet delicate drumming attack Scott had been looking for his whole life. Penny Things Won't live on YouTube - yeah - love that song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bbhIyBFkbA Robert Who, over the weekend, saw ex-wife/GT keyboardist Shelley LaFreniere for the first time in ten years - she is farming, and loves her chickens. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2008 16:59:18 -0400 (EDT) From: treesprite@earthlink.net Subject: [loud-fans] Homes For Houses A little more self-promotion here, sorry for the intrusion. The new Bye Bye Blackbirds album, Houses & Homes, is out tomorrow -- if you pick up a copy, please write and let me know what you think -- it's on a little label called American Dust and it does have national distribution (Revolver), so it should be available to those of us who still shop at stores. I don't know when the digital distribution will kick in. If you know of a good blog, radio station, magazine, etc. that you think would be interested, please let me know and i'll pass the info on to the label. The worst part about being on a label so far is that I don't have the free copies to give away that i'm used to! A lot of folks here have been really supportive and encouraging over the years, and it's much appreciated -- if buying a copy is totally out of the question for some reason, let me know and I can probably burn one for you! Or steal it from the 'net somewhere! Anyhow, spread the word about the album if you're into it -- and here's a link to the label's band site (with paypal ordering links): http://www.americandust.net/blackbirds.html many thanks, Bradley www.byebyeblackbirds.com ------------------------------ End of loud-fans-digest V7 #517 *******************************
