Bringing it home
Another bounce coming up, I have to drop something off in Novato this afternoon, no big deal but it’s a secret. So I will be heading North. Just got a friend’s email who said
She would be at the big concert in Ukiah’s Park this evening. A concert that I have anticipated and aimed for though not with certainty, a reunion of the Ford Brothers.
who grew up in Ukiah. A picture of Robben Ford on stage with George Harrison hangs on the wall of the Music Recyclers in Ukiah.
Of course If I am there then I can’t be there, a real good there would be Peri’s tonight in Fairfax with ‘La Mandanga’ band. Gypsy rock with members from Beso Negro. I had a great time with them last month at their show.
The crazy trails of America. Me and you and everyone else let’s go there no let’s go there, no let’s go there… ‘hop in the car and ride’ another line from a Joe Jackson tune.
Maybe I won’t make up my mind till the absolute last minute.. let’s see north to Mendocino, possibly selling ‘the VDubya’ for over a grand. Finding a place to live if just for six months would be great. ‘Got to put your flat feet back on the ground!’ ‘All you want to do is ride around Sally!’ Let me tell you that is one song that a thousand cover versions is just fine with me… from Wilson Pickett, the Swampers at Muscle Shoals to the great Chuck Day, to Jimi James no not that Jimi James El Cerrito’s Jimi. Playing with me next Sunday night at Peri’s. I don’t even want the Substitutes to be hailed as a great little Rock band cause I want a name like.. like .. something else.
