The Karma Boomerang

I wonder if it's karma. Someone told me one time it all comes back around. Maybe. Maybe it's just dumb luck. What the hell am I talking about?

Amazingly, I was the winner of the Charlie Robison Living Room Concert Twitter Contest.

Trying to hammer out a date right but it's looking like October.

The hard part will be finding 25 friends who want to see Charlie Robison.

HA! Actually, the problem will be exactly the opposite.

This is Fred Eaglesmith and the old band (Dan, Roger, Willie P and Darcy) from the very first show I ever recorded in 2004 at Stuart's Opera House in Nelsonville, OH. Incidentally, this recording has never seen the light of day until now.

Seems like ages ago.

Corb Lund @ Our House Concert -- 2007.09.23

I finally got around to uploading (to youtube) the individual files from the house concert that Corb Lund played at our place back in September of 2007. Embedded below a playlist of the entire show where you can move around between songs.

If you want, the audio of the show is here on the LMA.

[FairRetailRecordings] #0013 -- Deadman -- I'm Not Who You Think I Am

Got hipped to these guys a few years ago via their song "When The Music's Not Forgotten" and then kinda lost track of them until a recent show they played supporting Graham Weber at the Cactus. I really enjoyed what I heard from Steven Collins and the guys.
