Lindisfarne at Exmouth tomorrow evening. Should be fun!

You wont hear anything from the last 30 odd years, just wall to wall classics and a fabulous time to be had. We are seeing them on Monday at the, long sold out, theatre in the round, and again in June at the Boddelwyddan festival. Enjoy.

The excellent folk singer-songwriter, Mari Mathias, in Abergavenny, this evening. Caught her at a festival last year and was bowled over so I'm looking forward to a full show.

[John From Austin]

Skipped David Lee Roth last night to see a movie with Mrs. J From A instead ("Normal," starring Bob Odenkirk - check it out). I watched a couple of videos on Youtube to get an idea what I missed; his voice is truly dreadful. I think I made the right decision.

Tomorrow - Los Lobos at the Paramount Theatre! The Internet tells me this will be my 25th(!) Los Lobos show since April 1987. In addition to many shows in Austin, I caught up with them at the Route 66 Casino in New Mexico and the Minnesota Zoo outside Minneapolis.

My favorite LL story: Some years back, LL toured with sideman Cougar Estrada on drums. Toward the end of each show, Louie Perez would lay down his guitar and resume his original seat at the kit for a few vintage numbers. We lined up for autographs after one such show. When we reached Louie, Mrs. J from A said something like, "I love your drumming!" Louie dutifully autographed her CD "Cougar Estrada," which I did not notice. When I followed next, I said, "Nice to meet you, Louie!" He grabbed back Mrs. J's CD, and re-signed it "Louie Perez." He and I shared a huge laugh over him getting busted.
