Moscow, Moscow, Your soul is so big

I guess it's time to update this...
I said something about recording a shanty last time, I might still do that. Just thought I'd share a story about my week, because it was pretty exciting. I think it was Sunday when my brother Matt and his wife Amy Bleu came to Spokane, we ate Mexican food and afterward he came and hung out at our place and Jammed for a few hours. My younger brother on Ukulele, Matt on guitar and me frailing on the banjo. It was really fun, we played a song by Eef Barzelay called "I wasn't really drunk." next day they played a show together at the Gallery of Thum' at the famous old steamplant which they converted into a bunch of resteraunts and shops & stuff (you can even rent out their huge boiler tank for banquets) That was cool because Ron Greene opened and so did Bellows Bot (who is also in Amy's band). Then the idea floated around that since I didn't have to work the next day I tag along and go to Moscow with them. So we hit some sports bar and had some beers and I stayed at Amy's place that night.. next day we didn't have to leave until 6 so I hung out with Matt all day. Ate Indian food, shopped at several different music stores (I picked up a metronome, a shorter glass slide which is pretty awesome because of the 5th string tuner always gets in the way, and some thick picks for my brother's mando.) when we got to Moscow the bar looked a lot like that bar in Blues Brothers minus the chicken wire. It really didn't seem like many of the patrons were into it, there was a small group who came up and chatted, danced and even sang along to one of her covers (No Children, by the Mountian Goats) I, having nothing to do but take pictures and watch the show, drank a little too much too fast. I'm sure you've been there before. So the ride home wasn't as ...clean.. as I would've liked it to be, but at least we all made it back in one piece and didn't have to stay in some shitty motel.

I think i'll work on "Greasy Coat" that seems like an easy song
