I can't believe I've been away from this blog for so long! Forty lashes for me!

Well, in early December we made a return trip to Somerville and played with our friends, Lucky 57. They were releasing their very good new record, "Seven Mile River". It does come "Hayseed Recommended". It also marked my first visit to the The Abbey Lounge. 

On  personal note, I got to visit the family back home in KY for 11 days over the holiday break. That was a long time coming and way overdue. It had been over a year since I'd been back and that just can't happen again.

I've been taking a bit of a sabbatical. I haven't booked anything for a while. I'm not sure when that's gonna change. I am in talks with Sarah Craig at Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs, NY regarding a summer booking there for old time's sake. I like that place. Lotta history. And always good music.

Some good shows coming our way in the next few weeks. I'll recommend Carrie Rodruguez (her bio is not to be missed - *grin*) who'll be appearing with excellent all-female bluegrass band Uncle Earl, Bruce Cockburn,  and Lucinda Williams (of course). Go see'em and tell'em Hayseed sent ya!

For the record: This post contains more hyperlinks than any of my previous posts here.

So, the message for February is "go see live music"! It's a good thing. The winter hasn't been TOO bad this year so it's a little easier to be out and about. 

As always, make sure you sign the guestbook so I'll know you were here!

Take care,

Hayseed
