Okay, so i didn't actually play on Wednesday with Sweet Mama T, but I was there in spirit. There was some confusion (mostly on my part) and since I'd never rehearsed the third set with them it made sense that I sit that one out. As it turned out, we had a visit that evening from my friend Wammo and the lovely Tracy who happily slept on the living room floor and fed us. I must say that as far as house guests go they were entertaining, low maintenance, and more than helpful around the house. Today they are headed home to Pittsburg and hopefully got out of North Carolina before the nasty thunderstorms hit.
 
This week's musical line-up is a bit light on the performance end. But there is a worthy show Thursday at Thibodaux's. Russ Wilson's Nouveau-Passe Orchestra will be swinging it with Reese Gray on the piano. If you're lucky (and weather permits) you might catch me playing clarinet and singing on the streets of Asheville this week. Try looking for me and anyone I can roust up to join me at the Flat Iron. ~w
