Beneath the Bridge is Back!

The Thimble Wit procured shows, Beneath the Bridge, are back. We had the first one of the season the other day with Cityslides, Anei Birdlo, and Spoke Ensemble. This dog in the picture was a beast.

In other news, thinking about doing some sort of summer tour in July or August. Better get that ball rolling if it's going to happen. I also need to raise some money to get my roof repaired ASAP. Over and outro.

El Rancho Grande Show, May 2009

I have recently been playing a few newer songs like: leave it as it lays, as if I were its own, solid ground and I plan on playing a new song very soon...

Here are the verses of the new song:

how dare you say it if you don't mean it
it's always hard for me to turn away from such a thing
and I find that I'm always in your way
as you reach for anything
and I'm holding out
from letting my life come pouring out
in taking it as it comes to me
and getting used to anything

a few minutes would be plenty of time
for us to leave out both our lights
and sleeping with our heads in the stream
to wash away all our dreams
when I saw something I shouldn't have seen
and you said it was really nothing
it's a long way down and you best not look
but it really shook me

California notes...

The California tour was exceptionally smooth... 9 shows in 12 days... mostly house shows completely acoustic. It occasionally was a little challenging to play over a party of drinkers, but did they ever love the singalongs...

Here is a link to a radio show we played called Cool as Folk, based out of KDVS in Davis, CA: Radio Show We start our 4 songs about ten minutes into the program.


MacGregor Burns & the VCR at the train station

someone looks at this blog...

I was surprised to hear some peoples are actually keeping up with this blog dog. Well that is what it is here for. I am starting to plan a california tour for the end of April. It should be fun. If I can get enough money, I can bring out the VCR as well, which would make him really excited to fast forward and rewind and perform all the other normal functions.

I don't know why some of the pictures below are not really fitting into the boxes. Maybe I will tinker with it, probably not. My basketball team has a game tonight and I am hoping that Big White will be at his best. That's me. Last week's one point loss was a big let down for me. I had an awful game, even hitting the air conditioner that is 5 feet right and above the backboard.

The above pic was done in Picnik, which I have been digging, at least for doing photos and text to be posted on the web.

something blue - in my car!

Thanks to Ian Sotzing for filming and putting this up onto youtube.

Go Folk Yourself!

I played a show the other night that some of my photographer friends put on.

Here are some of the Jeremy Walker Pics:

Anyways, it was nice to play with Paragraph Swallower, Dunaway, The Owls Go, and Shane Burke at Go Folk Yourself!
