Notes: It feels like the old days, with my ear next to the GE portable anticipating what will happen. Right from the start Uncle Jeff's voice was crisp. The tone of the show set up when Stonewall Jackson hit with, "A story 'bout a pal of mine, who worked out near the Georgia line. A D.J. in a little country station. Everybody loved him dear, cause he played what they liked to hear. He built himself up quite a reputation."

Illusions of dusty trail rides, rumbling trains, barroom brawls, consumption, and immortality had me wondering about where I've been and a little about where I'm headed... "The whole world looks vain through this window frame."

Today's hot hipster sound "Bucket Of Blood," by Big Boy Groves is the curious edge of jazz coming at the right time. This show was filled with intentional and perceived musical themes allowing each listener a maverick moment.

As Ukulele Loki and Jefferson caught up between sets I gazed out the window to shining frozen suburbia contemplating the actuality and archaic. Thanks Ted for another disk of sweet music.

Adios till next time.
