Gfire @ Lufton Runner (followup to “Hey you, got a band?”)

A few months ago we posted about looking for musicians and bands to help us with a project. I’ve been passing on your recommendations  to my friend Theo Drumsthemoon, who runs a concert venue called Lufton Runner, for his new Tellurian Music Series. I’m pleased to say the first concert in the series, featuring the artist Gfire, was a huge success. You can check it out on Lufton Runner’s new website (or follow this direct link to the concert page).

I’m already working with several of the artists who responded to the last post to arrange future performances. If I’ve contacted you and I’m waiting to hear back from you, please respond soon. If you haven’t heard from me, you will. We’re still looking for more bands, so feel free to mention yours or a friend’s here (or email them to kit at dreamcafe dot com or booking at luftonrunner dot com) if you missed the chance in the last post. The Luf is a very eclectic venue, so all types of music will be considered.

Hey, you got a band?

We’re looking for some bands to help us engage in some viral marketing .  Are you in a band?  Do you have a friend who is in one?  Post a link to your music here, or else send it to Kit at dreamcafe dot com, and we’ll give it a listen.  Ideally this should involve good publicity both for our project and any bands we end up working with.

Thanks.

Chords Wanted: “Spoon River”

Google fails to turn up the chord progression for “Spoon River” by Michael Smith.  Does anyone reading this know it?

New song lyrics, waiting for a setting.

…or some other song it can be sung to. Anyway, *ahem* here’s my latest chart-buster:

My TV is on the food channel
Looking for new things to eat.
But when that music starts
It goes straight to my heart
Which stirs, shakes, and then skips a beat.
The palms of my hands become moist
I reach for fresh pepper to grate
I set the oven on kill
And hold myself still
As my soul starts to salivate
Chorus:

I want to have Alton Brown’s baby
Just cuz I love how he cooks.
We’d make a child, in the end
That’s a fabulous blend
Of his talent, along with his looks.

My eyes remain glued to the TV
In rapture, I don’t even blink.
Each kitchen applience
With gastronomical science
(Everything but the kitchen sink)
Is grist for a splendid concoction.
If I can’t cook it, it isn’t his fault.
I’m in love with his eyes
His shoulders, his thighs
His voice and his kosher salt.
Repeat chorus

Cats Laughing

Will Shetterly has been putting some old Cats Laughing tunes online.  I miss that band the way you miss a lover you’ve never gotten over.  I’ve been listening to the downloads, and I’m agreeably disappointed to find that my drumming didn’t suck as much as I thought it did at the time.  Emma and Lojo sing like, well, like really good singers.
