January 21--it was a five-band bill, two-dollar show

[zyzyly]

They looked sick and stoned
and strangely dressed
And no one showed
from the local press
But I watched 'em walk
through the bottomland
And I wished I played in a rock & roll band

hey

hey

I look forward to seeing what pic you post each day. :)

Is that yours? Or is that in a store?

Michael's gonna love that photo.

(Also, I went to college with Gillian Welch - never met her personally, but my ex did. Almost asked her out. She ain't southern. The accents she uses when she talks is an affectation. Damned talented musician, though.)

i love that song, i love gillian welch and have seen her at the fillmore once - i didn't notice her having an affected accent (and i know where she's from and don't think you have to be from a certain part of the US to play a certain kind of music). anyway, just my take on that :)

[lorelei-o.livejournal.com]

I don't think so either - if your voice sounds great singing country, then belt it out! And perhaps she's dropped the accent - haven't seen an interview with her in some time. But it seemed darned funny at the time - the people at UCSC who had known her wasn't sure where her country drawl had come from. ;)

I look forward to seeing what I come up with--every day it is a mystery to me.

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

It's mine.

It just looks like a Fender--I'm not a good enough guitar player to deserve a Fender.

Yet. ;)

Yeah--she's from Santa Cruz or something, no?

I think that sometimes we just unconciously pick up the accetnst of people around us.
