UPDATE FROM INMATE # 812
Sick as a dog !
At least it's slowed me down , I can finally write a new "blog".
Let's see , it's been awhile since I attempted this , how about I start with :
WHAT I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR :
#1 : A really cute Smokey The Bear salt&pepper shaker(circa1960's) From my mom .
#2 : My girlfriend got me a membership to Triple A , she knows that I'll be touring this Spring and that I have zero mechanical skills , very cool !
#3 :She also bought me about 20 DVDs , almost all music related , early blues footage , the Klaus Nomi Doc. , best of Town Hall shows from the 1950's featuring Johnny Cash , The Collins Kids , Wanda Jackson , Mel Travis , needless to say , It Rocks !
#4 A gift certificate to my favorite drinking hole (The Hunt Club)
#5 A Tom Pickerel original painting !
the list could go on and on ....
I found out over Christmas (while visiting family in Spokane) that my mom and her sisters (who performed as singers together in the early 1960's) not only shared the stage with the 3 Stooges from time to time(I have the photos to prove it) but they were also backed up by THEE BILLY TIPTON TRIO when they played in Spokane !!!
It turns out that he(she) also served as one of my aunts booking agents! This is fascinating to me as I've been becoming more and more interested in Billy's life and career. My sister, Julie loaned me the Billy Tipton Biography entitled 'Suits Me' , I'm half way through it and loving it . If you're not familiar with who Billy Tipton is , I suggest that you go online and do a "google" search , you won't be wasting your time !
The Dusty45's show on New Years at the Fenix was a great time , our best show in months.
The Hope show at the HighDive was also great , it was cool to see my hometown boys (Half Acre Day) they rule !
Upcoming .... playing with the Hope at the Tractor this Friday(Jan7) we'll be sharing the stage with The Withholders!
Later this month I'll be sharing drum credits with Bill Reiflin on the new cd by The Tripwires , I feel so honored to share credits with a drummer of his caliber !
In March I'll be heading to Austin to play at SXSW as a solo act , I'll be playing two of the Bloodshot bills (joining me will be the Sangster Bros. and Micah Hulscher), more info soon , I'm also waiting to hear about playing the 'All Tomorrow's Parties' festival in England.
More Soon , I Promise !

Shit. It seems like success and talent breeds success and talent, and I was stuck with two talented but very unsuccessful parents.
