W.R.Y.B.-The Race to the Melting Pot (being slowly Tweeted!)

Dad, what is a flaw fisherman?
Well son, I guess that a flawfisherman is someone who fishes for flaws. Never heard of that, but why do you ask?
I met one today daddy. A real live flawfisherman. He was standing on the Bonaventure side of the Lazaretto creek where it splits from the Moon River.
What did this flawfisherman look like son?
Well Da. He was dressed up like a Live Oak all brown and green and covered in Spanish moss. Couldn't really see his face. Hmm.
Hmmm. That sounds like someone I used to know.
What did he sound like? How did he talk?
I can't really explain it Dad. He sounded like no one I have ever heard.

Now I'm gettin' serious about blogging. It's a beautiful day. Summer is winding down. It's still hot as hell. I'm having a rare lazy week and 1/2 off from all the projects I've been working on this year. I spent the summer producing my first record in my home studio for some buddies in Athens, which has been a blast! I'm learning a lot about the other side of the glass, and after my lazy week and 1/2, we get back in to wrap it up and mix the record.

This should be a nice family time. I will be playing an acoustic set with David on cello and Noel on mandolin.

Tasty World is Closing..show Tomorrow!

EARLY Athens SHOW tomorrow night!!!! Playing my last show at Tasty World Wednesday night. Show starts at 8 p.m. Get started with us early before a very big evening of music all over town. Playing with Animal ( from Chapel Hill ). EARLY shows are rare as you know so come on out and help me say goodbye to Tasty World.

Thursday the 15th (tomorrow night)-- Very excited to be playing my first Athens Americana Festiva at Little Kingsl. We go on around midnight. Playing with the full band, including David Blackmon on fiddle. He is becoming a mainstay and the band is really sounding great. Ian, Tim, Noel, Mills and David round out the sound. Come early and stay late all three nights. The festival is LOADED with great music. Very happy to be included on this roster.

Also, Sunday at 2:00 p.m. I will be playing the acoustic stage of the Atlanta Dogwood Festival in Piedmont Park with David Blackmon ( fiddle ), Noel Blackmon ( keys, mando, b/u vocals ) and David Vanwyk ( cello ). Hope to see you somewhere this week. Dodd
