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:

Weather permitting (if there’s any doubt, Volume One will have an announcement on their site by 4:30 p.m.) us Long Beds will be playing at Phoenix Park tonight. Can’t wait. It’s always such fun. This is part of the Sounds Like Summer Concert Series. Be sure to come early and catch Cadence and our Amble Down Records label-mates Meridene (featuring a Hetzel!).
Afterward, we’ll be hauling our gear up the street to play an additional show at the MouseTrap Tavern. NOTE: MouseTrap listing originally had $5 cover, this event is actually FREE.

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…

On a cold winter night back a year or two, I did a humorous monologue at the Mineral Point Opera House. Then I hauled them Long Beds onstage. A gentleman named Ross brought back those memories when he forwarded this Flickr album of the show. This was before Molly joined the band.
