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.

[FairRetailRecordings] #0014 -- Fred Eaglesmith -- Little Buffalo

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.

[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.

Artist: Deadman
Venue: The Cactus Cafe, Austin, TX
