The James Montgomery Blues Band #2 : James was still a teenager in Detroit when he discoverd the Blues. While friends at school were listening to the Beach Boys and the Kingsmen, James was checking out the Blues records at a place on Monroe..."Little Willie James Clark Junior's House of Process (and written underneath) and Record Store." The front of the store was a barber shop and in the records -bins of 45s for 25 cents each - were in the back.

The James Montgomery Blues Band #3 : "Another one of my teachers, Jr. Wells, would sometimes come by my shows [when I was first staring out] and sit in a chair directly in front of me nodding approval at the things he thought I was doing well, and shaking his head at the stuff he thought I needed to work on."

Only Living Witness 6/14/2008 : Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Middle East - Downstairs. Saturday. 14 June 2008. Midnight.
It has been more than a decade since Only Living Witness performed live.
That was all going to change.

Who's at the helm
Of the purge that looms?
Should I bother trying to see
Outside of this room?
I can tell you now, I'll be left behind
On that fabled day
When the beggars will ride

Pete Shimkin & the SellOuts : February 6 was a special night.
The SellOuts and a multitude of friends and co-workers gathered at the Pasta Loft in Milford to say thanks to a man who did so much to make their working lives a little easier.
Pete Shimkin is a true professional, skilled at a most difficult job, a veritable walking encyclopedia of obscure facts and a man who possesses a keen wit and a hearty laugh.
His departure had been unexpected and abrupt; we were not given the time to say thank you, Pete.
So we got together over a few drinks, listened to some kick ass rock n roll and made a night of it.
Again, thanks Pete for all you did for us.

Russell Hill at the Pasta Loft : Milford, New Hampshire.
A rainy Saturday night in early March.
The patrons of the Pasta Loft were about to witness a transformation.
The Russell Hill Band, noted for its soft harmonies and flowing melodies, was gonna kick some serious Rock n Roll butt.
As a fellow musician once said, "Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman." Yes, I think Beethoven would have enjoyed the evening.

I must bring two things to your attention.

First, Rick Carr, sequestered in a dark corner behind his drum set, provided a driving beat which propelled RH all night long. However, it was just about impossible to photograph him.

Second, I am sorry to report that due to the raw, animal energy of the night's music, Morgan's highly anticipated reading from Jewel's "A Night Without Armor: Poems" had to be postponed.

Sell Outs at the Amherst Country Club 10/2/2009 : Yes i'm starting to sweat - you know my shirt's all wet - what a feeling
In the sound that abounds and resounds and rebounds off the ceiling

You gotta have it baby - You can't do without
When you get that feeling - You gotta sock'em out
Put that mike in my hand - And let me kick out the jam
Yes ! Kick out the jams - I want to kick'em out
