Rufus & Martha Wainwright...

Teddy Thompson himself...



After the encore, Rufus invited his mother Kate and sister Martha up onstage to sing "Hard Times (Come Again No More)," an 1855 song by Stephen Foster (Martha and Kate were, in fact, sitting right behind me). All of us in the audience, still standing from our standing ovation, were completely mezmerized (nobody sat down, or moved a muscle). The Gramercy, 6/6/07



Now that everyone's acquainted...here's Teddy's dad on Austin City Limits (at one time he was rated 2o th in the world as a guitar player...)








Sadly, we lost Bill this last December. His programming was so entertaining that they still run his program to this day. I listen to it often when I'm surfing my news sites for the latest calamity and I keep waiting for his voice to break in and back announce the set I was grooving to, I'm listening to it right now.

For me, The Rock Garden is a womb-like experience. and It’s easy to keep “my eye on the prize” with Bill in the back ground-- sometimes taking me back, sometimes catching me up, sometimes taking me forward, but always taking me higher. R.I.P. Bill Ashford, a Colorado pioneer in the underground "free-form radio" genre best remembered for his years as a disc jockey at Boulder's KRNW and Denver's KMYR and KFML, he died December 10th in Ocala, Fla., his home since 1993. He was 66.

Chuck Day's last performance...

Here's the 19 Broadway Swingband opening for The Buddy Owen Band on 3 December, 2006. That would be Gary Graham at the piano, the band leader, he also owns the joint. That's Chuck Day singing "You Are My Sunshine", he played the guitar solo on the Johnny Rivers hit, "Secret Agent Man", he also played bass with the Mamas and The Poppas.. Small world...enjoy...



Sadly, I just learned of Chuck's passing on the 10 th of March, 2008...there will be a celebration of his life Saturday, the 22 nd of March at 19 Broadway...Tim Bush, Chuck's bass player has several useful links at Tumbleweedpacific.com...Chuck Day 1942 - 2008 RIP>
