Hi Joe. Listening live for a change. Loved that Witchi Tai To. Never heard any version before.
Nice.

Man, that song always improves my mood. I have a specific memory of listening to the Harper's Bizarre version on the way home from school, when I took a wrong turn because I was too busy singing along with the volume all the way up.

Chuck Berry said that when people were surprised that he was a huge country music fan, he would respond with "who did you think that country boy in 'Johnny B. Goode' was?"

DB Recs (B52s)=produced by Danny Beard, owner of Wax 'n Fax records, Atlanta GA. He's also responsible for discovering/producing Pylon, Love Tractor, Guadalcanal Diary and others. And a heckuva guy!

hi. writer NHornby reviewed that recent LOUVIN brothers bio (?) and he writes how they'd listen to music at night, but didn't wanna wake daddy (bec he'd beat them).
this is how: "take a couple of broom straws, put them between your teeth, and use them as styli, and the music goes straight into your skull". huh?

Warner Brothers put out a great three CD box set in the mid '90's called "From Where I Stand- The Black Experience In Country Music". Also worth checking out is a mash up of "Sweet Jane- Wichi Tai To" on an album called "The Farrago Sessions" by Michael Stanley.
