Piano Burn 2010! 

Dan Davis, a member of the Determined Luddites and Big Galoot, has been putting on his annual Piano Burn for some years in the desert just a few miles outside of Tucson. Dan works on pianos for a living and the ones that see no hope of musical revival have quite a different and noble fate in store.

This last Saturday was our first Piano Burn...stay tuned as I shot mostly video footage that will be uploaded after I get a chance to tweak it some. The footage includes a performance of Dan Davis and Dan Hostetler's band Big Galoot playing their crazed surf-hillbilly-jazz as the pianos burn on and on and on...

Film Fest Sonora 

The Festival de Cine en el Desierto presents Sed de Cine in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico this Saturday, February 27. 389 Miles: Living the Border has been selected for its premiere Sonoran screening, a film in which I contributed much of the music.

The song "Alejandro" from Happy Homestead was used as the credits role and also released as a music video. Check out the video here.

Mardi Gras! 

The Carnivaleros tore up the Boondocks Lounge Tuesday night. We had guest bassist Karl Hoffmann, now living in Nerja, Spain, all night long. Marty Olson of Lawrence, Kansas joined us on Iko Iko playing the shakers!
