Howdy,
It’s been a week for crashed laptops and cars that won’t boot. I tell ya I coulda written a country song about it. But I won’t. Instead, listen to the mytho-poetics of Bill Kirchen and his “Hammer of the Honky Tonk Gods” and Blaze Foley’s “No Godwill Stores in Waikiki.” Now there’s some good story telling.
I’ll be doing a live show tonight from 9pm – 11pm Eastern Time at WCOM in Carrboro NC. Local folks can listen in on 103.5. For those of you not fortunate to live in the “Paris of the Piedmont,” you can listen via the webcast .
Enjoy!
Calvin
