Those of you who have been on this list for some time have probably  
come to almost expect a double email from me. One announcing some  
upcoming shows, and a second correcting some obvious error in the  
show information originally presented.

And so those of you out there with an eye for detail will notice that  
i have two shows booked on Saturday Night. This is NOT a typo. Mike  
McDade called me and asked if i would play a set of originals stuff  
to open his birthday tribute to Neil Young. This show (even without  
me) is going to be a good time. Unless you hate Neil Young, then  
it'll be terrible.

As soon as I finish playing I am beating it on down to the Tremont  
Tavern to play their one-year anniversary party. This bar has been  
very good to me ever since I came to town, up to and including  
Dustin, the owner, letting me show up late so i can play another  
gig!!!  That's really beyond cool.

Then I'm getting up at the crack of dawn to ride with Dan Landrum and  
Alan Shikoh to South Boston, Virgina to play a Christmas show during  
their Sunday evening service. Nothin' like a little church to redeem  
a night of bar hopping!

And then finally on Tuesday I will be back at JJ's Bohemia to open  
for Paleface. I originally turned this gig down. Since picking up the  
dulcimer I've moved further and further away from my antifolk past, I  
honestly didn't know how good a match up it would be.

But the more I thought about it, the more excited I became. Paleface  
is one of the original L.E.S. antifolkies, and he's as good now as he  
ever was. Of course, it's very very likely that you have NEVER heard  
of Paleface. Well that's understandable. The folklore about him says  
that back in 1989-91 He had a roommate named Beck Hansen. They wrote  
some songs together. When Beck started playing shows on his own,  
everybody said "Jeez that dude sounds just like Paleface." Later Beck  
moved to LA dropped his surname and started winning grammies.  
Paleface, on the other hand, drives a van, plays shows and keeps the  
faith. He's the real deal, and I'm honored to be opening for him.  
Look for me to drag some old chestnuts out (and maybe even a guitar)  
for this one.

So there you go. Four shows, three nights, two towns. It's a  
wonderful life. Now I got more to tell you, but that will have to  
wait until tomorrow (I'll give you a hint tho': it involves the birth  
of Jesus and how you can get free stuff) So there will be a follow  
email to this one, but that one will have nothing to do with this  
weekend.

c-ya out there
