I've been asked to speak to a college, which is quite an honor and should be great fun. I have to pick a date and "book" the time soon.
On the way to work yesterday I saw some flashing lights near a sharp s-curve by the office. Two police cars were there on either side of the "s" and a tow truck was trying to pull a car out of the steep ditch. A broken windshield was about all I could see of the small car. My guess is that the driver was stoned and flew off that curve unexpectedly. There was no driver around and my assumption could be totally wrong, but that's my guess -- and they jumped out and ran home when they recovered. There were no signs of an ambulance being there, etc. So, a bit of excitement on the way to work yesterday.
There is a TON of good music out right now. This Dan Dyer guy is just the tip of the iceberg. Marc Broussard has a cool release out on Island Records. Lots of old blues stomp sounds. Oh my! It rules!
