14. TEX RITTER – COWBOY

BD27 Binder with 4 Records – San Antonio Rose/ Blood On The AVE+$15
Saddle/ Try Me One More Time/ The Chisolm Trail/ Boll Weevil
Rounded Up In Glory/ Rye Whisky

(by his grading standards AVE+ is actually a rather high grade--it is his substitution for the E(+/-) grade.)

i saw it and then i posted this:

i just got tons of great cowboy and country 78s in. i need something to play them on. i used to have a turntable for 78s but not any more. i really want to have a section for 78s. even got some good pre-war country stuff.

i'll buy pre-war country 78s from you if they sound okay. but i guess you'd need a 78 turntable to play 'em.

some of them are kinda dirty. some are in good shape. some are pretty beat. you know the drill. some wonderful clean jazz stuff too. shiny clean vocalian 78s! i really wanna hear the ossman-dudley trio record on columbia. Chicken Chowder!

not tex ritter related, and i dunno how far northhampton is from greenfield, but i'd go see D Charles Speer cuz they are awesome:

Matt Krefting Band Tonight at Sierra Grille in Northampton w/ D Charles Speer and the Helix and jp05. 10pm $2.

$2!!!!!

also matt krefting rules.

it's tonight? yeah i don't think i can make that. northampton is only 20 minutes from me.

bummer. D Charles Speer put out one of my fave records from last year and they're great live.

what do they do?

country rock with psych overtones.

playing here sunday, just come down to NY for the weekend!

i don't think i've ever heard the no neck band. weird, huh? just never bought any of their records. and never saw them live even though they used to play in philly when i lived there way back when.

sometimes i would subconsiously recoil from bands if i thought they were too hip for me. which is silly, but what are ya gonna do. i've still never heard sunburned hand of the man.

nnck and sunburned are both alright. better live than on record, generally. ilxor sexydancer used to be in nnck you know!

i did not know that. i think my brother has played with both bands. er, not WITH them, but you know what i mean.
