Thanks to John Connell, who has put up a Flickr album of the recent Cadence/Meridene/Long Beds show down to Phoenix Park.  It was warm, and I was wearing my New Auburn Area Fire Department sleeveless T.  We had fun, because as the photo below (taken while Meridene was playing) demonstrates, this thing is like a giant family picnic.

After me and them Long Beds finished up at Phoenix Park the other night, we set up and played loud at the Mousetrap.  Mike O’Brien shot some photos and now they’re viewable over on the Volume One site.

Man, it was hot in there.  Thank goodness I brought not one but two New Auburn Area Fire Department sleeveless t-shirts!

As the photo below reveals, I am a singer of great sensitivity:

Mike will speak with Mitch Teich of Lake Effect, a Milwaukee Public Radio Program at 10 a.m. today, August 4th.  When it’s posted, you can listen to the podcast here.

Mitch usually gets me to go in directions other than the usual.

If you’re visiting because of the interview, please know we don’t bug folks, but we do like to keep in touch.  If you’re willing, here’s our mailing list sign-up.

And here’s our Facebook.

And our Twitter.

Hope for sun, I’m cutting oats.

Thank you for having me, Big Top!  And thank to everyone … sound, costumes, stagehands, more people than I can properly mention…who keeps the tent pitched and the show running.

Photos here.  Those Schwam‘s man shorts were a tad…snug.

Just in the door from the Kickapoo Country Fair, where I read in the Word Tent, and played a blistering hot (because of the sun, not my guitar-picking) set of music with the Long Beds.  Thank you, thank you to all who showed up.  Great fun and friendly folk at every turn.

An especially big organic thank you to Dane and the Organic Valley crew and volunteers.  The effort they put into this is prodigious, and we got to do the fun part.

And thanks to Charlene, who snapped and posted a couple of pics from the Word Tent.  And the Long Beds show.

Oh, and howdy to all the ladies on stilts…
