Buxter Hoot'n at Sullivan Hall

I receive lots of review CDs. There's a big stack on my desk as I type. Sometimes one really grabs my attention. Such is the the sophomore effort from Buxter Hoot'n, entitled In Another Life. Their engaging music lies in a region bordered by country, bluegrass & blues with a Jefferson Airplane feeling.

They'll be at Sullivan Hall in New York on Wednesday, September 22nd. Catch them if you can.

Well, that didn't go quite as planned

I woke up on Sunday morning with incredible pain. It turned out to be kidney stones, but not knowing what was going on I called 911 and went to the hospital in an ambulance. Sunday was, to say the least, not very pleasant, and I missed the Epic Pledge Drive Brunch Concert. I even missed Harry Minot coming in to answer phones.

Thanks to Cliff Furnald for hosting, Dave Schwartz and Don Duffy for tech support, and Rod Richardson for fundraising help. Here are links to the audio:

Sunday Brunch Concert: Parker's Tangent postponed

Due to heat conditions in the room and expected traffic from the parade in Bridgeport, the Parker's Tangent concert has been postponed. We will reschedule for later in the summer. We'll even try to find a location with air conditioning! My apologies to the band and their friends for this inconvenience, but you'll thank me later.

Today's concert will be a selection of recent performances from the jam band world.

Jerry Garcia night with the S.F. Giants

The Giants will honor one of San Francisco's most beloved native sons on the 15th anniversary of Jerry Garcia's passing with two baseball traditions, and what could only be described as a Pranksterish stunt. According to Relix:

Garcia’s daughter Annabelle will throw out the first pitch while Bob Weir will perform the National Anthem. Later, during the seventh inning stretch, Mickey Hart will attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the world’s largest kazoo ensemble, leading more than 7,000 fans in “Take Me Out To The Ball Game.”

We have to be grateful that Micky's not leading a vuvuzela ensemble.

Independence Day

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness....

We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.
