    I wouldn’t be surprised if half of this forum has already seen this documentary, but for those who haven’t —

    “You’re Gonna Miss Me”

    about Roky Erickson….There’s even an unexpected, if brief, appearance by Lucinda in the DVD extra features (she’s shown at ACL in 2005, and calls him awesome and a genius.)

    I’ve heard good things about the Roky doc, Ray. It’s on my “to view” list.

    Also, would like to see…

    Well, I got to see Roky perform live at the annual Ponderosa Stomp at the House of Blues last week in New Orleans. He launched into “Cold Night for Alligators”, sang “Starry Eyes”, and rocked hard and long into the night. Even the cool Dr. Ike, who puts together the Stomp (a tribute to “the unsung heros of rockabilly, blues, swamp pop, and rock and roll”), was on the side of the stage dancing through most of the set, and he called him back for an encore. Roky seemed really happy. It was all too much fun. 😀

    Has anyone given a listen, yet, to Roky’s collaboration with Okkervil River?
    It’s on my list…
