yes...'the banjo is a happy instrument,maybe Nixon should have played a banjo things might not have gone so badly for him...'
I dramatize
Scene The White House: 'And Banj-O Was His Name-O [majestic strumming] Name-OHHH. That's aaah aaah aah all folks [extended pause as tape runs] Ah Rose Mary . . . John Dean-O wants to know how that take-O sounded . . . What? . . . Erased?!! . . . HOW MANY MINUTES? . . . ()%&#*($%$U** PINKO Liberal COMMIE _*^%#@#*(*%^& Uncle Joe was RIGHT . . .Get Me Haldeman. Tell Him the Usual Place in 10. [Phone slammed on desk. silence except for drumming of fingers against microphone] . . I'll get you, you . . .' And scene.
Now that's what I call a Foggy Mountain Breakdown!

Thanks for the comment on my blog, now I have yours in my bookmarks! So great to hear from you, Dr. Light. My wife and I are actually planning a short trip to Starkville this summer, just to see all the changes. How are things there? Teaching in the area?
If you haven't heard yet, I co-founded a non-profit called Bifrost Arts that is working on a big anthology of hymns. We just got signed to Sounds Familyre, under their newly created Great Comfort Records. You can listen to a couple tracks here: http://www.myspace.com/bifrostarts
Volume one of the anthology comes out in Sept followed by a Christmas album in November. It will be on itunes.
Off to post on the new Grizzly Bear album.

I wondered about the hymn stuff from what I saw rootin around the RUF UConn site and links. Have youe heard the Dust-to-Digital Christmas Compilation from a few years back: Where were you on Christmas Day?I feature it heavily on a WMSV Juke Blues Xmas theme show I did. Here's link to a virtual playlist:

I'll have to keep those two discs/virtual downloads in mind for my collection.
Give me a heads up when you'll be in the area and perhaps we can do lunch or at least sit on my back patio for a spell.
BTW the new thang for me is Japandroids a 2 piece out of Vancouver who are acually playing in Oxfor, MS at Blind Pig on July 3rd!
Oh yeah, I'm in the Jeopardy! contestant pool until November 2010. I await Trebek's call . . .
