The Garcia-Weir interview was conducted by Jon Sievert for Guitar Player magazine. He asked me to come along and record it for him and agreed to allow me to broadcast some of the result. This particular question was my suggestion, and the musical result was a very pleasant surprise.

“Cassidy” with Donna Jean 4/17/09

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

Last night I ended my set at Camp Zoe with a very special trio of guests: Donna Jean Godchaux and her bandmates Jeff Mattson (guitar) and Joe Chirco (drums). We performed “Cassidy,” and here it is. And immediately after my set, the Donna Jean Godchaux Band with Jeff Mattson played its first-ever show; they sounded great!

Angie Coiro back on the air

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

My friend Angie Coiro is back on the air at San Francisco’s Green 960, weeknights 6-8pm Pacific. The Angie Coiro Show joins the station’s progressive talk lineup alongside Rachel Maddow, Stephanie Miller, Thom Hartmann, et al. Call in at 1.866.960.5753 or join the liveblog.

Full disclosure: we’re friends and ongoing scrabble opponents. And Angie uses my song “It’s Gonna Get Better” as her closing theme, and sometimes she also played “Echolalia” in her mid-show break. But I want you to listen because Angie is smart, compassionate, lively, and liberal and her show steers clear of shouting and name-calling. You want substance and heart in your political talk, give Angie a try. You can listen online from anywhere on Earth, of course.

Magnolia Music update

Monday, April 6th, 2009

Subject: MagMusic Update
Date: Mon, 06 Apr 2009 02:22:34 -0400
From: Magnolia Music & Events

Dear Festival Family,

Suwannee Springfest 09 was simply the best! The music was in the air, and smiling faces were everywhere. Stay tuned for pics, reviews and music from the 13th Annual Suwannee Springfest. 

Many of you know that we did not increase ticket prices for Suwannee Springfest. That makes our “in between” festival situations financially tighter. Out of necessity, our MagnoliaFest 09 ticket prices will increase and early bird tickets will go on sale later this month. In the meantime, we have a special offer for this week only. We are offering 500 Extra Special Early Bird Tickets for $100 each. These MagnoliaFest Extra Special Early Bird Tickets are on sale now until 500 are sold or thru Sunday, April 12th, whichever comes first. These are available online only – no phone orders are being accepted as our office will be closed this week.  If you are in a position to purchase, we’d be especially grateful if you went online and did so sooner rather than later. We will distribute MagnoliaFest tickets ordered in April May & June in late June.

Click here for MagnoliaFest 09 Extra Special Early Bird Tickets.

We invite everyone to join us Tuesday evenings from 7-9pm central time (8-10pm eastern) for our Internet radio program “The MagMusic Show” on Wildman Steve Radio!

Mark your Calendar! 
MagnoliaFest 2009 October 22-25    
Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park Live Oak, Florida

Thank you for your time. We appreciate your support and commit to bringing you quality events that feature great music, a joyful community spirit, healing vibes, and that are just plain fun!

In Harmony,
Iris Blooms (speaking for Beth & Randy)
