And for the record, I found the stuff tasty too.
Dang! “A mind is a terrible thing to waste.”
When I first posted the “boudin anecdote”, I included you in the list of “witnesses” to said event, stoger. Then, moments later, as I walked our dogs for the final time this evening, I decided that you were, after all, not there, and changed my post when I got back inside by removing you from the list. I think my confusion stemmed from the fact that Lafayette & I drove there separately, then met you in Bloomington. (As did West Words, you may be thinking, yet I managed to remember her – probably due to another memorable event, at least in my mind, from the same night… 😉 )
With humblest of apologies, my friend, please note I have gone back and re-edited the post to add you back to the list of boudin-samplers present that night…

I think the substance she refers to is boudin. Some kind of New Oreals thing.
Correct spelling on the cajun sausage, not on the city, but we get your drift tonyg… 😉
And, I can speak from experience (as can Lafayette, stoger, West Words and, of all people, Linford Detweiler & Karen Bergquist of Over The Rhine fame) that Lu, despite her fondness for waxing nostalgic about boudin, no longer cares to eat it. But I tried it that night in, of all places, Bloomington, IN (thanks to a pit stop with Lafayette at Jungle Jim’s International Market near Cincinnati prior to our trekking over to Bloomington) and can attest to its saltiness and, well, for lack of a better word, “bloodiness” (look up the ingredients of boudin noir – we also had some boudin blanc for sampling, both with the requisite Nabisco Premium saltine crackers). Too bad I had quit drinking alcohol by then, so I could not wash it down with the Dixie beer we also found at Jungle Jim’s. But, in all honesty, I thought it was fairly tasty… 😉

P.S. Thanks for the report, stoger – good to see your footnoted setlists grace the FF’s pages once again…

Oh ya. And this heat wave is perfect for that.
That’ll get ’em good and sweaty before they even get into the guitar shop! Silver lining!! 😆

Actually, I was hoping to witness this phenomenon. 😉
Well, some of my best friends are lesbians. And, I am sure there is a guitar shop somewhere midway between us (maybe Austin, TX?) where we could all meet. If they are in, are you? 😆

I did not know lesbians reacted that way in guitar shops. But then, why would I? 🙄
You have to know Chuck & his way-out sense of humor, tonyg. His intent is far from wanting to offend anybody – in fact, he is actually very open-minded when it comes to social issues. For example, one of the songs on his new album Temple Beautiful, “White Nights, Big City”, is about the tragedy of the Harvey Milk & George Moscone murders & the subsequent lenient sentencing of Dan White & the riots in the Castro district that resulted. He considers it a tribute to Mr. Milk & Mr. Moscone…
(Assuming here by your rolly-eyed emoticon that you were somehow put off by that quote – if not, “never mind”… 😉 )

From Chuck’s FB page regarding a gig in Springfield, IL last Saturday night at the American Music Show:
We were three quarters of the way through our 90 minute set in the thick 107 degree Springfield, Land of Lincoln heat, when I looked over to Kevin T. on bass and didn’t recognize him. His eyes were empty; he was like a cable TV zombie or something. Sweating like a lesbian in a guitar shop. After the show, Kevin turned to me and said, “I started feeling really cold up there…”
Oh shit. That’s heatstroke, right? Seriously, this heat blows. I’m like, “Sun, blow me!”
I was struggling pretty bad during the gig too, having a hard time forming recognizable words introducing the songs and the band. James was like, “Dude, I thought you were having a stroke.”
Heatstroke shenanigans aside, the show was a blast. A hot blast. And Jans Project, John Paul Keith, and Jack Oblivion all made it happen.

(Those looking for TO’s post about new songs / label / record plans that he originally posted here, can now find it split into a new topic here per his suggestion…)

I didn’t expect to blabber on here so maybe we should have a new thread with this one.
New topic created!
And thanks for the great info, TO – “blabber” all you’d like – please! 😆
Tom
I hope all you California peeps know how lucky you are! 😉
As well as all you free-wheeling, big-spending road warriors!! (You know who you are!) 😆
Jealously,

I can’t believe I know this w/o doing any research as I have never, ever played the video game “Rock Band 3” (I guess I have seen enough of it on display in stores to recognize it), but it is from that video game, on “Expert Mode”, playing, of course, Lu’s “Can’t Let Go”. Someone must have recording their “playing” of this song & posted it on YouTube…

It certainly looks like I did something irksome.
Judging by that smirk on your face, I think you just may be right… 😆
