Corner Coffee cooked.

The audience was on it.

In attendance were Natalie Johnson Lee, Michael Chaney, Kimberly Nightingale, Michael McElrath, and Ezra Sauter. Kiss my grits if ya don't like that.

Sang and played a bunch of originals, some covers. After listening next day to the playback, a couple takes'll go on the upcoming live CD. Among about a half-dozen Corner Coffee gigs, there's enough material. Planning with Bill Travers to edit and masterDwight Hobbes Live at his buddy's studio. By the by, bless Travers's heart and soul, he greased the wheels so that Laura Moe is considering my song "Angels Don't Really Fly" for her repertoire. Between you, me, and the lamp-post, there's a chance she'll sing a duet with me on my perennially almost-wrapped-up studio CDAngels. It's been pretty cool, dropping in at the MN Music Cafe to jam with Bill Travers for their open mic. Last time, we rocked a fun rendition of a couple old blues numbers "Know You Rider" and "Death Don't Have No Mercy". May yet get Bill to pull some strings with Francis Duxbury III (Travers, Moe & Sir Duxbury are The Travelin' Moburys) and see won't that rascal Francis consider recording my song "In Love Without You". With Bill already having agreed to record "Lady Midnight", there's at least an outside chance I'll have songs done by each member of the group. What the hell, we'll see.

Meanwhile, the past 9 or so months of being back at it, after a long, long layoff, or paying off. Chops, if I say so myself, have got sturdy. Not only the singing, but, for once, people are actually complimenting on my guitar playing. Getting my trash-talking between numbers down betterer and betterer. And, for the pure hell of it, wrote my first new song in 20 years, a tight little thing called "Mary Jean", which might just make it to that live CD. All things considered, I'm a happy little camper.

Elsewise: Got word from Papyrus Publishing, Inc. that my bookSomething I Said hits the stands this year.

What else is gonna go right?

Beats me. But, baby, believe, I'm open.
