    As reported here recently, David Murray has recorded an album of Dead
    tunes with his Octet to be released shortly.  David has been working on
    the songs lately, and premiered three Dead tunes this past Monday night
    with his Big Band at the Knitting Factory in New York City.  The crowd was
    treated to versions of One More Saturday Night, China Doll and a thirty
    minute Dark Star.  The Big Band plays every Monday night, with sets at
    8:00 and 10:00.  This coming Monday, February 19, the band will again
    feature David's arrangements of Grateful Dead songs.  The concert will 
    also be a celebration of the first anniversary of the Big Band's run at the
    Knitting Factory, as well as a birthday party for David Murray, so many 
    guests from the jazz world are expected to attend and play with the band.
      It will also be David's last performance with the band for a while, as 
    he is heading to the Bay Area to work with Bobby and Taj Mahal on the 
    Satchel Paige project, and, perhaps, to jam with Ratdog at Mardi Gras.
      Tickets are available at the Knitting Factory and are $12.00 in advance
     or $14.00 the night of the show.
    
    

    30 MINUTE DARK STAR!!!!!

BLUESTIME is at the Bull this friday night.
I think that is where i will be.
if you have not seen BLUESTIME, check it out.
this is the band w/ Magic Dick and J. Geils as frontmen
backed up by some of boston's finest bluesmen on bass, rhythm, and drumz.
check it out.

(send me mail if you are going... i'm over 1000 behind now and
probably won't be back in here for a bit)

    
    Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers @ Avalon 3/14. 7:30 $20
    
    Anyone interested in a deadhead voyage?

    don't even know what  it's called , but his new CD is pretty damn good. 
    
    rfb

    Ziggy sucks the bag live
    walked out on him at great woods

    really?? I saw him maybe 10 years ago, opened for Feat. Other than
    being to loud to the point of distortion (I *DO* like loud, but gotta
    be able to distinguish) i thought he was OK. I was thinkin that with the
    new material from his newest CD, he'd be a little better. 
    But New England is too far to go for a Ziggy show anyway....now SlipKnot,
    that's another story,...%^)
    
    
    rfb

Acoustic Junction will be releasing their 3rd studio cd sometime this spring,
and will tour...

Saturday  April 27  Deerfield Academy, Deerfield, MA.  public show? dunno...
Friday  May 3  Somerville Theatre...I'm THERE, no doubt...saw 'em there last
September, coool show

check these guys out...I believe there will be more east coast gigs as well,
my 1st show was in May at the OVK, it would be Grate to see them there again.

Wes

p.s. speaking of OVK, got their flyer this week, some names coming up,
Jonathan Edwards, Jeffrey Gaines, Jabbering Trout, She's Busy...long list that
I will post later...

re: Loud Ziggy....interesting!  I "saw" Ziggy Marley coupla years ago on
the Boston Common, when they used to hold music shows there.  I was near the
back, but it was SOOO LOUD that I left.

 Josh

       I, however, thought that Ziggy and his band was the best part of
    the HORDE festival and would very much enjoy seeing them again...

	For those who missed Kodo drummers, World Music presents:   
		ONDEKOZA, Demon Drummers From Japan.
                Saturday, May 4, 8pm, Sanders Theatre
        
        This group was founded in 1970, on Japan's Sadu Island. In the
        mid 80's, the original members split nto two groups, one was Kodo
        and the other became Ondekoza, which is still under the direction
        of the founder, Tagayasu Den.
        
        In Japanese, Ondekoza means "demon Drummers" and in ancient times
        the ancestors would summon spirits or demons by pounding drums.
        This modern show combines the ancient rhythms with woodwind
        flutes, cymbals, chants and precise dance derived from martial
        arts.

	Tickets are $22 and $18 and are available at TicketShafter or by
	calling World Music at (617) 876-4275 or Sanders Theatre at (617)
	496-2222. (Sanders charges $2.75/ticket + $1/order to mail them.)

    
    <-- Bummer, that's the day of my party.  I'll have to catch the Kodo
        drummers elsewhere (and I hope you will too).  I'd be interested
        in knowing if they are going to be somewhere else soon.
    
    Cath

	I'll be looking out for Kodo and let you know if they come around
	this year.

>		ONDEKOZA, Demon Drummers From Japan.

These aren't the guys who used to run the Boston Marathon, and then
put on a drum concert, are they?

Dan

	No, that was Kodo. Although, I bet these guys could do it too.

I read in yesterday's Boston Globe that Bella Fleck will be
playing with the Boston Pops in the near future (May 14),
and it will be one of the shows on the PBS Evening at Pops series.

    Earlier this week Lockhart sounded jubilant when he talked
    about this schedule. "Bela Fleck is a staggering banjo
    player; you won't believe the level of his virtuosity. [...]"

Radio station KCFA-FM (??not sure of exact call letters, may have an "S" in
there) (San Fransicso) is broadcasting live the Thursday Quadrophrenia show 
from Madison Sq. Garden.  This sorta implies a nation-wide broadcast.
Anyone know anything?  Is it gonna be broadcast in Boston area?
I'm posting this in the wrong note, take replies to the  othermusic-discussion 
note.

 - Josh

Yes, I heard that the show is being broadcast.  The HBO Prince's Trust last
week was also broadcast.  I haven't gotten around to the WHo's set yet, but
I suppose the MSG show will have more Who music than the Prince's Trust
show did.

I suspect wither WZLX or WGIR will have it.

adam

    speaking of WZLX...i heard rumblings from allenhead that SOS will not
    be a fish and game gig this year as the radio station is looking into
    sponsoring the slipknot event closer to beantown?
    what is up with this?

    WZLX have been advertising a live broadcast, thursday pm.

       			Percy Hill @ The Paradise

			 this Friday, Feb. 28th

		tickets available thru ticketbastard or at the door,
		   but be forewarned, this show will sell out.

		not sure what ticket prices are........Armand?

tickets for this show are  $8  at the door

you can reserve tickets for $11 through ticketbasterd,
after the "convenience fee" and order charge ...
ticketbasterd can be reached at 617-931-2000

so exactly who is this "fee" "convenient" for, anyways ?

well, it's worth it to reserve them, if you plan to check
out a very cool show, rather than drive to bean-town only
to find that the show has sold out - it will sell out on the
night of the show

if you can't make this one, they'll be playing an anniversary
gig about a month from now ... i'm pretty sure dates were
posted here, i'm pretty sure they'll be posted again ... 

Dave and I are hooking up with some friends for a pre-rage
at Dave's, and maybe head down to a local watering hole to
the Paradise, if you're planning on going to this show,
contact Dave or me and we can all hook up - later on !

    Check out    Foxtrot Zulu...   I caught these guys at Tammany
    last Saturday, and they are great!  Relentless Groove, very
    danceable, although they ought mix up the tempi a little more...
    After listening to Rusted Root last night, FZ is sorta like RR
    with some brass...    nice latin flavor...   I'll get some
    qutes from Womag later...    
    
    Foxtrot Zulu  will be at  MetCafe Thursday April 3.
    Well worth a trip to Providence...   I'll post a schedule

    "That's a big Bon Vue back atcha..."

    "Met Cafe, good buddies..."  

    Hmmm, reminds me of an SF story by John Varley.  The actual title,
    
    "Tango Charlie and Foxtrot Romeo"
    
    Good story too.

    Well, sort of...  Foxtrot, Tango, Uniform and Zulu are all militarese
    for the letters of the alphabet.  I'm not sure what "F. Z." stands for
    - are they a Zappa cover band? ;-)
    
    Tango Uniform is actually an abbreviation for a military slang that
    isn't repeatable in a family conference...but means something like
    dead...

    Trivia: Laura Bell was one of the most respected and often visited
    women of ill-repute in Colo Spgs in the 1890's (i think it was, maybe
    earlier) she was known for riding up and down Old Colorado Av (the
    seedy part of COlo SPgs back then, where women, "likker" and other
    vices including opium, could be found,(where I live now)
     whereas Colo SPgs was dry and stuffy) in a chariot drawn by two tame elk.

I thought only Mohammed could move the mountain...
no?
:)

    the music hall in portsmouth mebbe?

    That show at Loon could be cool. Several summers ago NRPS and Tom
    Constanten played there with Merle Saunders. I hope they meant
    Lincoln;-)

    yeah that is a cool scene
    
    jayjolls and i caught robert cray there a coupla summahs ago

    Ladysmith Black Mambazo is  playing Sanders Theater on
    May9, 1997 at 8pm  tix$27 & $22.
    
    If you have never seen them, this  is a must see!  Sanders is
    a wonderful hall to catch a group like this (but the seats are
    a little hard on tall people)...
    
    I unreservedly recommend this show!

    see .276 :-)

    
    I like Ronnie's web page.  It's designed well and is easy to get
    around.
    
    Spare me on the frames.

Hey, it's Friday.  Da ve and GerG are in New Orleans
at the Jazz Fest.  Shouldn't we be looking for his
fanny on some Bourbon Street CUSeeMe, or somethin'?

Knowing that alley, it'll probably go unnoticed...;-)

I'm going to try and make it to ronnie, but the
chance is slimish 'cuz of school work.
We'll see ... last 6 wednesdays I have not once got
home before midnight!

    Art Steele Blues Band  is at Penuche's this Sunday night...
    another interesting New England  blues guitarist...  Art
    generally stays West of Woostah, so this is a rare chance to
    catch this guy close by...  definitely worth a trip to Canal St.

You'll be able to tell me if it's Art Steele if you go.  I'll be

I had fun at a Fat Tuesday show 3 or so years ago....

	New England folks,

	Thought you might be interested in the line-up for the Winter 
	Island (Salem, Mass) blues fest.  There is at least one local 
	teenage band scheduled to open, but I don't have the names in 
	front of me.  I'm scheduled to emcee on Sunday. Holly Harris
	is scheduled to emcee on Saturday.  They have shuttles running 
	from the train station in Salem if you don't want to drive. 
	Tickets are available at Strawberries or call the festival 
	hotline (the promoter's own phone -- can you believe it?  The
	festival must be a labor of love for him.) 617 639-4040
	Tickets are $12 each day in advance and $15 at the gate. A 
	two-day pass is $22.  The site is very nice, on the water. 

	Saturday, May 24, starting at 11:00 a.m.

    re .311
    
    i'll be there! 
    
    in addition to Bruce's comments, She's Busy just won the Worcester
    Phoenix Best Folks Act award in the readers poll, and Lisa and Selena 
    are two of the three backing vocalists for Wilbur and the Dukes...
    don't let the folk act category fool you...  "the dames" kick some 
    serious butt...  they got nominated as "folk" primarily because they
    are an acoustic show that doesn't always play with a drummer...
    go figure...

    oh, and for those of you that remember my stories of my little friend
    Christina (Chemo Girl) who passed away last year from cancer, the
    Why Me? Inc folks were very kind to her and her family as they went
    through all this, and continue to be to this day...  a very fine
    organization offering local aid to local families...  deserving of
    support...
    
    					da ve 

    funny U should mention Christina da ve, Patty's psychic-chick has told
    her more than once that she is watched over by an angel, so she's been
    doing some reading about the power of angels, summining angels for help,
    etc....last week that brought the subject of Christina and the Angel back 
    up in our conversation...
    rfb

    Christina has been coming up a lot lately in my little circle
    of folks...  we're approaching the 1st anniversary of her
    leaving...  
    
    her family is still being torn to shreds by this disease...  :^(
    they could use a little more evidence of angels these days...
    
    fwiw, i still believe it...  i hope they do too...  i'm glad Patty's
    is still keeping a watchful eye...  we can all use a little of that 
    from time to time...
    
    					da ve
    
    ps.  course i also believe, as first preached to me by GerryG, that
    mine is a Guardian Bozo...  Prankster, 1st class...  :^)

    
    
    the CANDLES are at the Cladduagh in Lawrence Mass tonight
