Tomorrow I leave for Spain with Elk City. The dates are listed below. I’ll be doing a couple of my songs in the Elk City set each night, too. I’m looking forward to a little travel and adventure in one of my favorite countries.

Mar 27 - Madrid, national TV performance, then show at El Sol
Mar 28 - Picaro Club - Toledo
Mar 29 - La Tramoya - Aranda de Duero
Mar 30 - Malandar - Sevilla
Mar 31 - Planta Baja - Granada
Apr 2 - Colegio Mayor Luis Vives - Valencia
Apr 3 - Apolo 2 - Barcelona
Apr 4 - Rock Star - Bilbao
Apr 5 - Fabrica de Chocolate - Vigo

Things I have been listening to lately: Dungen - Tio Bitar, King Crimson - Red, Enon - Grass Geysers….Carbon Clouds, Holy Fuck - LP, The Chambers Brothers - Goin’ Uptown, The Fall, Faces, and various soundtracks.

Also, a few months ago, in an inspired and disoriented moment of “clarity”, I purchased the DVD collection of “The Midnight Special” after watching an infomercial for it (!). “The Midnight Special” was a music show on after Johnny Carson on Fridays in the U.S. from about 1973 to 1980. The packaging is cheesy, but some of the content is unbelievably good. Live performances from the whole spectrum of music in the ’70’s - the Bee Gees, New York Dolls, Dolly Parton, Gordon Lightfoot, Blondie, Al Green, Steely Dan, Curtis Mayfield, T. Rex, Rod Stewart, the list goes on and on, plus many one-hit wonders. I’m not advocating purchasing these DVDs, but perhaps some of the performances can be found somewhere on youtube or something. They are really worth watching.
Much to discuss otherwise in the otherworldly world of media and politics and disinformation. Since I don’t really have time for that right now, I’ll place some links of recent developments that deserve attention in an upcoming post. One thing I can say however is that it is irrefutable that writers on the internet (Common Dreams, Winter Patriot, Counterpunch, Consortium News, Arthur Silber, to name/link just a few) are consistently delivering better analysis, better writing, and more honest and unbiased coverage of events than any mainstream news outlet, and it’s time to tune in, regularly.
Anyway, now it’s time for me to run some errands and buy some shoes.

Adios.
