Having a little trashy fun.....one of my favorite bands to see live back in the day, along with a band I WILL see live for the first time in September. The Cramps - Gravest Gravy - bit bootleg sounding, but a compilation of early recordings. And Messer Chups - The Incredible Crocotiger; a fun Russian Surf-Rock-Horror-Exotica band.....they'll open for Reverend Horton Heat, another I haven't seen.

Saw Kaki King last night, small venue in Southern Maine about 1.5 miles from my condo. She is so good! I described it on FB as feeling like being by a lake with gentle waves lapping onto the shore - at least her mellower songs. Then she would break out into her frenetic playing with body hits for rhythm, and fast finger moving and fret-playing. She even got pretty talkative with the audience. I guess it was her 3rd time playing the place; maybe 50 people there, but they were true fans.

Reminds me a bit of Caspar Brotzmann Massacre, without.....a lot......

I watched the whole ad, good chuckles..... Made me remember a stand-up comedy skit by Bob Goldthwait from the 90's. "If you see Huey Lewis coming down the other side of the street, do you think, 'Is that one of America's hottest rock stars....?' No. You think, 'Is that a friend of my dad's?' "

Done! And....

Another Mary Fahl show, this time with her and only keyboard accompaniment. I was all of maybe 4-5 feet from the stage. Stunning, such a passionate singer. Got to meet up with a couple folks I met at another Mary Fahl show last Fall, last pic.

DakhaBrakha....holy shitballs were they great! Highest recommendation! Great musicianship, and a massive connection with the audience (they played a small space in Portsmouth NH, they've played here before and a good chunk of the audience had seen them before). I didn't know they did this, but they auctioned off two paintings (and a pair of drumsticks) to benefit Ukraine. I won one of the paintings, and got backstage for a pic with the band and to tell them of my partial Ukrainian heritage! A wonderful night, filled my heart!

Visited the Lowell [MA] Folk Festival this weekend. Good food, good music, and fun to people-watch. Caught some Vocal Harmony group, Bluegrass/string, Zydeco, Haitian drummers & dancers, and - my favorite - some Tuvan musicians doing throat-singing. In the last pic, the two young ladies in front of me were loving the Tuvan singing, they kept smiling and looking at each other, I could see one mouth "Wow" several times.

So sorry Brent…. With my dad’s passing, some family and friends have been reflecting on mortality a bit. Many of us are experiencing that kind of thing, people our age up through parents’ age losing folks around them. One called it the worst curse of aging, and I can agree…. Wishing your mom and family the best!
