I’m taking a week to just hang out with my family.  We’re not going anywhere exotic, in fact most days we’re just knockin’ around the farm.  But posts for this week may or may not reflect reality or current events, as I’ve set them up to publish themselves so I can be off splitting firewood or toasting marshmallows or re-inventing myself as the Chicken Whisperer.

During the recent World Tour in support of Tiny Pilot, the Long Beds climbed off their palatial tour buses (we each have our own bus, naturally – it minimizes all the vicious infighting) to appear with Michael Feldman on Whad’Ya Know? The show is archived now.  You can listen here.

We play at the end of the first hour and the beginning of the second.

As we left the stage, there in the wings was my dear friend Frank.  Turns out he was the next guest.  I’ve written about Frank in my books…also if you’ve heard me tell the “billions” story, he’s that Frank.  One of the kindest, smartest fellows I’ve had the pleasure of knowing.  Once his interview gets rolling and he starts talking about Wisconsin milk production, you’ll get a sense of his facility with knowledge.  I especially like his cheese comment.

Here’s another album of photos from the recent Mabel Tainter show.  Two of my favorites:

Billy crushes me with his guitar.

Big finish with “After Waymore’s Blues.”

Volume One has put up an album of photos from the Long Beds show at the gorgeous Mabel Tainter.

The recent interview I did with Larry Meiller on Wisconsin Public Radio is archived here.  It can be downloaded here.  Once we got the phones hooked up and working, we talked about the new Long Beds album Tiny Pilot, and I took calls from folks all around, including a lady who knew my grandparents.

Today is the official release date of the new Michael Perry and the Long Beds album, Tiny Pilot.  You can have a listen here, and find out about CD purchase or digital downloads here (the CD version includes a full-color poster, lyrics (with song commentary by Mike) and three bonus tracks not available on the digital version).

The band is going to be out on the road some.

We want to give a special thank you to Amble Down Records.  Kyle and his crew get all credit for bringing this project to the runway.  Now we’ll do our best to keep the wings square to the earth.

P.S. If you’re local (within range of Eau Claire, Wisconsin), we are told the album is available at: Borders, Truckers Union, Infinitea, Tangled Up in Hue, and Revival Records.

If you’re not local…here y’go.
