In lieu of posting something worth reading, I am promoting yet another show.
Free Bananas tonight at the Redoux Parlour for the Last Friday Artwalk. 7pm. 780 Blair Blvd. Artwork by Claire Flint.
Speaking of music, please take a listen to the Reverend John DeLore, whom I had the pleasure of hosting while he passed through Eugene on his national tour. Very good singer/songwriter from Brooklyn, NY.
Wednesday, May 20, 2009, at The Indigo District, a concert featuring not one, but two, of my bands–Susurri and Free Bananas!
Early show. 7:30 PM. $5. 21+. Opening for The Janks, from Los Angeles. Also playing is local band The Chorus.

And now for a sneak preview of the origins of Free Bananas:
"San Francisco Bay Blues" by Jesse Fuller, the original one-man band.
For your viewing pleasure, I present a short film I call “Julie Sola at the paper cutter.”
Hey, check out Julie’s Etsy shop, Fat Crow Press.
The band Susurri (for which I play the double bass) is performing at Jo Federigo’s in Eugene, OR, on May 13, 2009, at 8:30 PM. Fun! Excitement! Soft acoustic pop lullabies! Only three dollars!
But really, folks, this is a good band with no frills or synthesizers, led by Jaylene Arnold (artist/songwriter/wonderful lady), and held down with her piano, strings (double bass and violin), guitar, drums, and a touch of vocal harmonies. There will be merry melodies and heartbreaking drama. Thank you.
Alright, y’all. I am in Oregon now, as you may know. But here is some late news about my last day in Nashville: my team won the 2009 Nashville bike scavenger hunt! See HERE for yourself. It was a grueling ride through 80+ degree weather, to each corner of the city, stopping for popsicles at Las Paletas and lemonade at a carwash run by a troupe of burlesque dancers in bikinis. We were out for a joyride, but somehow we actually did really well. Winning this small, free event brings us fame and glory throughout all of the world, and we legends will never die. Thanks Chris and Brad!
