Heavy Rotation In Indy

Just out of curiousity, did you guys send a copy to XM and or Sirius?

[Jim Alfredson]

Mitchell Feldman of MFA in Denver, CO is doing our radio promotion. He is in contact with XM and Sirius. No luck with them yet, but we should be on Comcast's digital music channels fairly soon.

[catesta]

Seems like the cd would be a perfect fit for at least two channels on XM.

Let's hope they wake up.

Which, by the way, has its corporate headquarters in Philly, so get your butts here for a gig PRONTO!!!

[Joe G]

Just don't remind them that I dropped my cable subscription last spring.

[Jim Alfredson]

I don't know. Philly is not much of an organ town.

[Ron S]

I don't know.  Philly is not much of an organ town.

Gee, I guess I haven't talked it up enough. [Memo to self: send Jim and Greg another 30 Philly PM's each. ]

Too late--30 PM's already on their way to you.

(Yeah, I knew you were joking, and so did Jimmy Smith--wherever he may be--and Joey D. )

Still hearing "This is the Place" in Indy on WICR; heard "Play Nice" as I was driving to our satellite office in Greensburg about an hour ago.

[sheldonm]

I've heard it as well!!!

I think Play Nice has become one of my favorites on that disc, (if not my absolute favorite). Good to know Indy has SOME taste.

But, seriously, I was stationed at Fort Harrison in the mid 80's. In spite of the fact that I was in the military (and not particularly diggin' it), I really dug Indy.

I remember some interesting musicians. One band in particular was a group called Rods-n-Cones. They had this pretty cool guitarist named P.K.

And there was this older gentlemen who played some pretty sweet fingerstyle country blues on a very vintage and very beat up Martin (can't remember his name but I do know he got to open for Santana down there (as a solo act)).

And then there was this elderly African American gentlemen who would come out to open mic and play blues with more soul than I've ever scene. Not much technique, not many notes, but damn.

And of course the used guitar store down there (can't think of the name of it). But a friend of mine would come down and spend serious bread there on vintage guitars. Of course, 400 for a 1970 Les Paul would be a steal now.

Anyhow, sorry 'bout the long winded post. Lots o' fond memories of Indy.

Both RD and org will play there next year, come heck or high water.

....ah, the Rods and Cones....PJ Lavengood on guitar....very good player. I saw them several times and they also opened for SRV at Clowes Hall. I had front row seats and SRV sat down on the front of the stage about 2 feet from me with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth....played one tune for 15-20 minutes...by this time it was about a 4" long ash hanging from him lip!!!......what a killer show!!!

I love the way SRV would use those big shiny mailbox letters on his guitar to spell out SRV.....man, I miss that dude!!!

His shadow on the pedestal is part of the statue. Do a Google image search of "Stevie Ray Vaughan" and you'll see several different views of it (to which you can apply your critical photographer's eye ). It says a lot about Austin that it would have a statue of him in such a prominent location. It shows who--and what--is valued in Austin.

[Jim Alfredson]

Any ideas on where to play in Indy? And don't say "The Jazz Kitchen". They are not interested it seems.

[Joe G]

Is there a place where the "jamband" kids go to see shows?

[Jim Alfredson]

Not that I can find...

[Joe G]

I wasn't asking you.

The ghosts of Wes, J.J., and Carl Perkins will see you now.

Jim, have you tried the Chatterbox? Very small venue down on Massachusetts Avenue... the stage is in the window. Legendary once upon a time for not being too great, pay-wise... but that was 10-15 years ago. Don't know what the story is now (I think it's still owned by David Andrichik).

For Bloomington I'd still suggest the Players' Pub or Bear's Place.
