NEWS
Tribute to Jeff Hill:
Went quite well, thanks to the efforts of many people, esp. Dr Bob Coates, Jeff's family and the management at the Fine Line.
The "Beck's boogie" at the end was a sight for sore eyes for an old 6 stringer like myself. A stage full of pickers battling it out like the old days.


5-04-09 Bob Coates reports that Minnesota musician Jeff Hill (Canoise, Knut Koupee') passed away on Sunday, May 3, 2009.
 



RIP: Soul Brother: Buddy Miles, Jack!

Roger Arneson, our north Mpls homeboy,  is  on MySpace. Yes, this is the wild & crazy  mofo  who drove all over the Crystal airport.  And, oh  yes, he also does a mean "Jake"  blues,  aka "the Jake & Elwood's Blues  review".

Quote of the day:
"The music business is a cruel and  shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where  thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like  dogs. There's also a negative side."

 -- Hunter S. Thompson
