I saw them for the first time last weekend and had a great time. Now I'm wondering which of their releases comes closest to the energy of their shows. Recommendations?

Gas prices = Less Live Music ?
A few weeks ago Woodsboss headed into town in their gas guzzling Dodge van. Brian Salvi and I were complaining about gas prices (isn't everyone) and since then I've been wondering what might happen to bands that pay their own way. These are the musicians I normally want to see. Will they hole up at home looking for day jobs? Raise ticket prices and risk losing part of their audience? I sure ho...

Artists (Almost) No One Knows #5B
The Wayward Drifters are the country side of J.B's coin and, as is typical of punk and hardcore artists, it's NOT a pop-country side. Plus there's an interesting twist -- this is not a bluegrass band yet one of the major players is Banger Dan (Mazer) on, you guessed it, banjo. Again, this is a DC based band that normally tours outside the region a couple of times a year. They haven't made it to FL

Artists (Almost) No One Knows #5A
JB (Beverly) was the first Net-person (Mike Ness Chat) that I met in person (at a bar in DC in January '01). 6 plus years later and it's amazing to me that he, some of the other Ness chat folks, the Hank III crowd and my FL friends have intertwined.

Artists (Almost) No One Knows #3
Time to go back a few months to the Heavy Rebel Weekender. I saw a number of bands I really liked but The Way-Gonners are probably my favorite new discovery. They're from New Orleans but during their set I was craving a Lone Star and I'm not even a beer drinker. Sounds like good Texas music to me. I'm hoping they play some Florida dates but I'm more likely to catch them in Austin. You can downl...

Old Age and Music Lovers
No, I haven't reached that point yet (old age that is) but I'm close enough to sometime wonder what will happen to those of use who never really grasped the concept of age-appropriate. I've come up with a few things. Rock 'n' Roll School for Srs. -- They have it for kids, why not retirees? I'm sure some of us would love a chance to fulfill our teenage guitar-god fantasies. OK, arthritis may pre...
