We reached the mid-point of the week.  Last night, I made it out to Dee's for the latest edition of Darrin Bradbury's on-going songwriter's night - this week featured Alec Lang (who is pretty new to town and who I enjoyed), Angela Autumn (who was fantastic), and the always great Chelsea Lovitt. Plus Darrin and Irakli Gabriel who played a fun, loose set.  

Then, I headed over to The 5 Spot to catch the latest Swill TV - Live show - featuring the 9th episode of the music video series.  The live show featured performances by Caleb Hayden Christopher - a bartender at The 5 Spot making his stage debut at the venue - his songs were great and his stage presence was fantastic, Sophie and the Broken Things - who I caught one year ago on a livestream and who I have played on the radio.  Sophie's band included the multi-talented Dave Coleman and drummer Lemmy Hayes (Buck 'N' Stuff), and long-time E2TG favorite Tom Schreck with rare appearance of his band Tom Schreck Escapes!  

Tomorrow - catch the next edition of Greetings from Nashville - with a collection of songs that seem to fit the Halloween season.

There is a phenomenon that I like to call the Nashville Dilemma or the Nashville Conundrum depending on my mood... It is basically this, a friend or hero or hero/friend or friend/hero announces a show.  You readily and enthusiastically indicate on Facebook that you are either Going or Interested... meanwhile, others of the same category(ies) also announce shows and you again readily and enthusiastically Join the event.  Then, the day or week of the event arrives and you check your calendar and realize that two or more of the aforementioned events coincide with one another, and you have to use some complex algorithm of friendship, location, cost, in-town show frequency, etc. to decide which show you are going to see.  And so, you decide and you have a blast and it's a great show - like you knew it would be and then you see pictures from the show(s) you elected not to attend, and there are surprise special guests and puppies and stuff, and you rework you algorithm for next time and the process repeats.  It's really a nice problem to have....

Friday Morning Music Explosion - Digging Underneath Mix

So we made it through our holiday shortened workweek, and it's practically the weekend.  Let's celebrate with a virtual explosion of music ... after the JUMP

Tuesday Morning Music Shuffle - Bobby Freaking Keys Mix

Tweet #E2TG

I'm doing a super quick mix today, but for good reason, I used my lunch hour to walk a couple of blocks to see legendary (I mean LEGENDARY) sax man Bobby Keys with his excellent band that includes former Georgia Satellite and current leader of Homemade Sin and member of The Bluefields Dan Baird. I only had time to stay for the first part, but they ripped through a set that included a few Stones songs, a George Harrison number, and Joe Cocker's version of the Box Tops' song.  All of which featured Mr. Keys in their original versions.

TODAY'S MIX IS AFTER THE JUMP...

Wednesday Morning Music Shuffle - Stalagmite or Stalactite Mix

I am so tired today.  So, I am going to make it short, sweet, to the point, and hopefully interesting - because we have some great music today..



(part of my morning walk -

so you can imagine me as you are reading

and listening to the morning mix)
