Saranac will do just fine

Posted: June 22nd, 2010

hope to see you @ the Waterhole - a venue of great legend, thx to our friends the Ominous Seapods.  This intimate old bar in the north country can't hold more than 300 people, & it should be a zoo.  we had a few days off between our show in Mass. & Peekskill & it sounded like fun.  

 

looking fwd. to the rest of the tour.   stay classy san diego.

moe.down XI grounds preview

Posted: June 14th, 2010

Just before our two Saranac Brewery Shows, we went to visit the new moe.down site with Promoter Chuck Chao. Chuck's got a lead foot and bad brakes, but we arrived safe & climbed out of his car. He unrolled his property map on the back of the car ....

The grounds are sprawling and varied. I can't really do it justice in print, so I took a couple phone-pics just to give a taster of what you will see if you make the trek to moe.down this year:

The main estate, previously owned by Cellist Rostropovich.

The main house, previously owned by Master Cellist Mstislav Rostropovich!

 

These next three go from left to right, looking down from the top of the hill at the main stage area.

 

Top of the hill, between camping & stage...

 

The Barn...

thx so much for making the 1st leg of our summer tour a great one.  we appreciate all of the love & support, esp. for the new tunes.  just for fun - here are the lyrics to "Haze".

 

al 

 

Haze

 

How many more?

7 days of rays

And no cooler in the shade

 

What's it all for

The haze'll make you crazy

it's not easy to ignore

 

Wanna get away?

somewhere new, something cool

something borrowed something blue

 

so whadda you say?

I want to do this w. you

jump into the water, today

 

Hey, Let's go

I don't care as long as you are there

Hey, Let's go

Doesn't really matter when or where…

 

A purple sky

9 o'clock, never stopped

doesn't phase the fireflies

 

So very high

the degrees on the horizon

keep on risin' to the top

 

A starry night

Coyotes singing, crickets ringing

the moon is big & bright

 

A tangerine light

Another place, a honeymooner's face

Jump into the water, tonight

 

Hey, Let's go

I don't care as long as you are there

Hey, Let's go

Doesn't really matter when or where…

 

Hey, Let's go

I don't care as long as you are there

Hey, Let's go

Doesn't really matter when or where…

but how about now?
