Anyone else want in?
I do.
a grace note that's not on the Tinker To Evers To Chance compilation.
I think the song I'm planning to use for the mix has a reference to the trio of bear Cubs. Versions of it certainly had a refrain of "these are the saddest of possible words," but I haven't listened to it in a while & don't remember what's on the recording.
David, sorry I missed you last week. Didn't check email while I was gone & didn't receive yours before I left. Also sorry I missed the Moe's event. Was there a couple days later & asked about it. Heard it was a success. If my return flight had been delayed any longer I could have made the Scott Miller show, but it's hard to plan for such things. Would have been delighted to hear the puckish Zep quote as I too was walking in the park just the other day, baby.
I'll add a copy of Chains and Black Exhaust to the Send to Tina pile o' cds.
David, I'm going to send your write up of the Scott Miller show to Big Bill Ham, who'll get a kick out of it.
And Joe, I like that tagline. That was a great article. I've been thinking that I should try to write like Swearengin talks, especially because it would make for amusing memos to the TX Lege.
BTW, David, I'm 90% sure Miller was playing a Fender Coronado. I've lusted for one for years, but I think the only one I've seen onstage was Jon Auer in his role as neo-Chris Bell for the sorta-Big Star: [link]

Tell Ham that Kim also read his Interbabe piece at the Moe's book-reading. Also, Scott Miller was incredibly nice and thoughtful and was sporting a wedding ring, so I think he's remarried since his Shalini heartbreak.
No sir, Corwood, it was actually a Telecaster Thinline.
The plate wasn't white though, it was some cool sparkly retro looking material.
Edit - Oh, the Thinline. D'oh!
B.B. Ham has already expressed pure green envy about the show, although he mentioned that Miller would probably file a restraining order against him after their last meet. It's always awkward to meet your personal heroes, I think.

Kim taped it with professional equipment through the board. There should be MP3s available at the Lost in the Grooves website within a week or two.
Can someone please explain the reference to me?

Babysitter's Club. I don't know about a record, though.
I think Jeff Barry did the music for some of the Babysitter's Club.
