You don't
have to be from Texas to
love Bob Wills. Former hobo,
barber, and minstrel
performer Wills was, for our
money, the most important
white American musician of
the 1st half of the 20th
century. Listen to his
rollicking, buckdancer's
choice, Big Taters in a
Sandy Land up against
the achingly exquisite gypsy
jazz-meets-box social
Just Friends (aka
Dean Waltz), and one
hears all of America, with
musical references that
cross all cultural borders,
all played by a soulful man,
a man in love with the
music, but tormented,
in that it was his sinful
fiddle that had earned his
bread, not an "honest job".
Visit his online museum at
http://bobwills.com/museum.html and
read Jody Nix's sentimental
but stirring account of
Bob's last recording, the
classic For The Last
Time, selected as
one of the 200 most
influential Country albums
of all time by CMT.com.
We'll be at
Norm's this Thursday the
26th for a genuine All
Points South show, featuring
a couple of guest acts sure
to tickle your innards --
the luxurious Bill Vinett
and Friends kick things off
with a bang, to be followed
by super songwriter Lou
Vargo.
Then we'll get up to do a
reading of Samson
Agonistes, complete
with the jawbone of an ass.
Let's start at 8, shall we?
Go to Norm's
tomorrow night and catch two
of the best songwriters on
the planet -- tall Tony
Laiolo, local wiffleball
legend, and the captivacious,
eclectrical Annie Mosher,
who's expecting...us to be
there. All Right.
You got
nothing better to do on a
Thursday night.
