    I’d love to hear some local guys like Funky Knuckles. I’ve read somewhere that they are from Carrollton but please don’t hold that against them. 😉 I really like the track Barbosa http://funkyknuckles.bandcamp.com/track/barbosa but that’s sure to be a bit long. Maybe a radio edit could be arranged or perhaps you could find another shorter track?

      I will scope it out and see what I can do

  • Paul, buddy… The Buzzkill String Band???
    No… Just No.

    If you feel like stretching back in time you could play a little Hot Tuna, since the guys are coming to town later this year. Funky #7 is good or, of course, Watch the North Wind Rise.

      hey, man, somebody just like you wanted to hear that band, and a couple people commented to me on FB about liking it. who knows, man, we are just checking out music here.

      Always liked Hot Tuna. I’ll have to keep a (third) eye out for them.

    Tim Obrien’s “Mick Ryans Lament” from his album Two Journeys.
    Based on the “Garyowen”, the official song of the U.S. 7th Calvary , it would make a great patriotic song for the 4th of July.

    Hey Paul — I grew up in LA. I remember hearing “My Girlfriend is a Rock” on Rodney Bingenhiemer’s program on KROQ back in the 70s, as well as on the Claremont College radio station. Never knew where the band was from. Quite a flashback for me tonight. Thanks!

    I see somebody else already suggested the St. Vincent/David Byrne collaboration–on that note, any Talking Heads or David Byrne is always great! Some other general ideas: Leon Redbone, Alberta Hunter, Sergio Mendes, The Roches
