Sleepless Nights

Folks,

Did you know the day before Gram Parsons died he was miniature golfing with Jonathan Richman? http://t.co/q0fxXsy True story. Not sure what I’m trying to say other than you may not want to miss the 10th Sleepless Nights this Saturday August 27th at the GAMH. Chuck and Stephie, Red Meat, East Bay Grease and more more more. Personally, I’m so dog gone thrilled I could drink a pitcher of margarita mix. And I just might. Get your tickets now. This show has been known to sell out.

And folks, welcome to the age of miracles. The West Memphis 3 are finally walking in the sunshine. .

Merchville: [I’m not gonna lie to you. We need the money]. We’ve got some new items. Chuck Prophet And The Spanish Bombs Live DVD. The Spanish Bombs recorded this show live for Basque Radio Television and it’s pretty slick. Also we’ve got Stephie and The Company Men’s ‘Cry Tomorrow’ and Sonny Smith’s ‘Fruitvale’. ON SALE NOW for 8 bones. Go here: http://www.bellesound.com/music

All the best (and all the rest),

8:30 pm

For this gig, Ill be playing all new songs for a new record coming down the pike.

The working title is Temple Beautiful, the name of a long gone venue on Geary St. right between the Fillmore and the storefront church of one Reverend Jim Jones.

In a futile attempt to capture lightning bugs in a bottle and set them free, we’ve worked up a batch of songs all about San Francisco. Specials guests include Roy Loney and others (as we get our act together).

It’s all in there. Jack London to Mark Twain, from the Grateful Dead to the DK’s.

Songs include Emperor Norton in the Last Year of his Life to Willie Mays (Is Still Swinging for the Fence) to Trying to Get a Cab on a Saturday night…

Characters include Laughing Sal, Fillmore Slim to Carlos Guitarlos…

The Rickshaw is a pretty cool place. Added bonus: (for those of you with wheels), it’s not so hard to park around there. Pretty easy in fact.

Yours,

C
