I've been a fan of The Rev. since I saw him at Lotus. I'm a new convert to the Avett Brothers, whom someone acuratley described as "emo-grass." In particular I'm feasting on the songs, "Murder in the City," and "Shame."
Avett's doing "Murder in the City" --
Here is the low quality video I shot of the Rev doing "Your Cousin's on COPS," at the Bluebird last Friday.
I was really exhausted after a long, busy day, but also happy that my days are busy with so much live music. Even listening to my sister's radio show felt a part of it. Radio is, after all, a live connection.
Earlier in the day I had booked a Hoagy Carmichael birthday concert at the Archives of Traditional Music where my boys Mike and Timon played (in their matching outfits... down to the shoes)
... as well as Kid Kazooey. I'm an instant fan of Kid Kazooey. I booked him based on recommendations but had never met or seem him play. He's like the Dan Zanes of Bloomington, often performing hip kids music, but he also has serious musical chops...
sneering in the shadow of Hoagy...
Today I'm staying at home, listening and playing music by myself. Feeling an insatiable appetite for more music, and trying to be satisfied with the connections I've made.
