    Unrelated, but your sidebar links to a story about Mark Ruffalo being put on a terror watch list by the “Pennsylvania’s Office of Homeland Security”. WTF? Pennsyltucky has their own nazi sounding “security” force?

  5. The Modesto Kid

    A song by the Holy Modal Rounders identified only as “Track 13” starts us out. Sounds a little bit like a slow “Old Joe Clark”, but it is not that. Haunting fiddle line. As it fades out Robyn Hitchcock and Morris and Andy start to sing “The Banana Boat Song” a capella. Beautiful bunch a’ ripe ba-nana! and they close on a high note; directly Lightnin’ Hopkins starts strumming his guitar percussively. He is going to sing “I’ll Never Forget the Day” for our third track. Change of tempo and key is slightly abrupt as the Soft Boys start “Underwater Moonlight”. Is there a violin behind this recording? It must be synthesizer. This is certainly one of the most explicitly narrative Soft Boys tracks — that seems like something RH got into more in his solo career and with the Egyptians. I’ve actually never listened to this song turned down low (rest of the fam is asleep) before; I am hearing some new subtleties in the performance.

    At our midpoint we get a little interlude, 5-minute drum solo from Bill Kreutzman and Micky Hart (Boston ’69)… the State Street Boys come in with “Rustlin’ Man” (do you know about the records “Folks, He Sure Do Pull Some Bow!” and “Violin, Sing the Blues For Me”? Together they are really nice as a source for learning about/listening to violin as a blues instrument.) The Band is rehearsing for the Last Waltz, playing an instrumental “Mad Waltz”. Christopher Hintz covers the “Eighth Day” finale from Breaking Glass; and Bo Diddley takes us out with “Bo Diddley”.
