Oops, I was trying to remeber what I was tempted to do last night.
I was also tempted by concert at Momma's Coffe house.

Last time I saw them the California Guitar Trio put on a good show.
It wasn't even close to being as amazing as the League of Crafty
Guitarists show I saw at the Power Center way back when, but it should
still be well worth going..

Alas, I no longer live in Michigan... but thank you anyway. :)
My fellow Portlanders the Minders and Elliott Smith are going on
tour together - they're coming to St. Andrews in Detroit on May 24th.
It should be a great show.

And it's been weeks since I've been in New Orleans.. I'm now in Seattle,
ostensibly for good.
I've seen the Magnetic Fields twice and would gladly go and see them again,
especially in the wake of "69 Love Songs".. If anyone who's unfamiliar with
the band is feeling adventurous, I'd recommend a trip to Pontiac. I'd never
even heard of them before the first time I saw them (they opened for another
band I love, Yo La Tengo) and I still enjoyed their performance enough to
buy two of their CDs at the concert..

The Roots are giving a free concert at the UF Bandshell this Sunday. I really
dig these guys. They're definitely on the positive hip-hop tip. Their songs
are imaginitive and though provoking. They actually play their own
instruments, and keep the sampling to a bare minimum (that is, if they sample
at all). As you listen to them rap.you'll notice a total lack of words like
'b**ch' and 'n**ga'. I think we'll take the dogs out with us and maybe brng
a picnic. Word up.

I'm going to miss it, but Top of the Park is going to have the Red Elvises
on July 4th. I'm pretty annoyed because I'll be out of town, although there's
sufficient compensation in the form of being with my (long distance) SO.
The Red Elvises are a group of (mostly) Russian musicians who've managed to
fuse Russian folk music with early rock and roll. They're supposed to be a
pretty hip live act, too. I'd recommend this show highly, especially since
it's TOP.

Richard Buckner is playing the Ark July 12.
He's a great folky singer-song writer sort of guy. Quite good on the
guitar too.
I saw him live in Toronto back in October when I was just looking
around for something to do one night, he's definitely worth going to
see, a nice guy to boot. He mentioned playing at the Ark sometimes,
and said he really liked it there, so yeah, go see him. Tickets are 10-
15$
Also worth checking out:
Matthew Good Band is playing Bayfest in Sarnia on July 15. I've never
seen them live, but I've liked all of their recorded stuff that I've
heard. They won this year's Juno award for best rock group and best
rock album I believe (Juno=Canadian music award). Tickets are 8$CN

John Sebastian and the J Band at the Ark on July 5th interests me.

I got a flyer in the mail today about the "National Folk Festival" to be held
August 11-13 in E. Lansing. It's free, and has several stages. I'm not
going to type in the list of performers, but it looks pretty impressive. Not
just your usual list of boring gittar-and-poetry folkies, but Golpel steel
guitar, Lakota hoop dance, Hawaiian, polka, Arabic, quite a diverse list.
Details at www.nff.net.

Oooh! Oooh! Ooooh!
I just found this listing in today's Ann Arbor News:
Marlee MacLeod, Friday April 27 (that's tomorrow or tonight, depending
on when you are reading this), Crazy Wisdom Bookstore, 114 S. Main
Ann Arbor, 8:30-10:30. FREE SHOW!!!
I *love* Marlee MacLeod. Sort of country, sort of folk/rock, with a quirky
voice that just pulls me in. She also plays her own lead electric guitar
on the recordings. She plays with a 4 or 5 piece band on her CDs, but
I have no idea if someone is paying for the whole band to tour with her.
I've enjoyed each of her four CDs.
She has a web page at http://www.marleemacleod.com

I put the Marlee MacLeod review in item:15. Saturday night, Crazy
Wisdom is hosting local blues guitarist Rollie Tussing III. I caught
the tail end of his set at Top of the Park last summer and was
quite impressed, so I might see if I can make it back to the bookstore
for the second night in a row. I hope to start getting e-mail with
the Crazy Wisdom concert schedule.

"This is some real good blues, who is that OLD DUDE?"

Summer is supposed to be the time nothing happens, right?
My overloaded dance card for this week looks like this:
Sunday: final night of Top of the Park
Monday: Michelle Shocked at the Ark
Tuesday: Lou Killen at the Ark (British traditional singer)
Wednesday: still open
Thursday: Te Vaka (Polynesian band) at Downtown Home and Garden (??!?!?)
Friday: Two chamber operas, Bernstein's "Trouble in Tahiti" and
Menotti's "The Telephone," Arbor Opera Theater.
Saturday: Concert of Colors in Detroit, including the French band Lo'Jo
who I adore.
And there are also three movies, all expecting to leave town after
Thursday, which I want to see. Aieeeee!
(I expect Lou Killen and the Concert of Colors to get squeezed out.)
