Geoff Muldaur at the Outpost
Geoff Muldaur is one of the great voices and musical forces to emerge from the folk, blues and folk-rock scenes in Cambridge, MA and Woodstock, NY. Guitarist, Richard Thompson says of Muldaur, “There are only three white blues singers, and Geoff Muldaur is at least two of them.” Muldaur made a series of highly influential recordings as a founding member of the Jim Kweskin Jug Band and Paul Butterfield’s Better Days group, as well as collaborations with then- wife Maria (”Midnight at the Oasis”) Muldaur. In the 1980’s he left the road and concentrated on composing film and television scores, garnering an Emmy in the process. He produced offbeat albums for Lenny Pickett and the Borneo Horns and the Richard Greene String Quartet, and his definitive recording of “Brazil” provided the seed for Terry Gilliam’s film of the same name. Muldaur re-entered the touring world in the mid-1990s with his magical voice and singular approach to American music completely intact. He recently toured Japan, Scotland, Ireland, England and Sweden as well as the Pacific Northwest in the U.S. Muldaur has appeared at Lincoln Center, the Getty Art Center, London’s Royal Festival Hall, and folk and blues festivals worldwide. He can also be heard regularly as a guest on Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion. His recordings, The Secret Handshake and Password, feature his unusually crafted interpretations of classic, oftentimes obscure, American material, as well as his own unique compositions. His 2003 release, Private Astronomy, on the Deutsche Gramophone ‘classical’ label is a departure from his folk roots and instead features his unique arrangements for chamber ensemble of the obscure piano compositions of the great 1920’s jazz trumpeter Bix Beiderbecke. “Geoff Muldaur was and is one of my musical heroes,” writes Loudon Wainwright III . “When I listen to him sing and play, I can hear the coal mine, the cotton field, and last, but certainly foremost, the boy’s boarding school.” Check him out on You Tube.

Ah the election is over. Some of us feel relieved. Some of my friends are exhausted. They worked so hard. People are still talking about Obama. They feel a sense that he will make a difference. A cloud of worry has evaporated. I’m more a we goota keep active type of person. Input to the government makes a huge difference. A few people describe a sense of peace. No matter what we can have a bit of a break. I met a Republican who voted for Obama yesterday. We were at Midas, and so there was a group discussion. Several people said we are beginning to think as citizens, instead of political affiliates….hmmmm. Need some music? REad below.

THE RIFTERS
The Rifters formed in 2002 in the fertile and creative music scene of Taos, New Mexico from members of two popular bands already active in the area. Jim Bradley and Don Richmond of Hired Hands, and Rod Taylor and Steve Garry of the Rounders, who had all known one another for years playing in the acoustic dance-oriented Americana music scene of Northern New Mexico, decided to join forces to form The Rifters.
“It’s music that comes from where we come from - both from the high desert and mountain landscape of our home and from the background and experiences of our lives - sort of a laid-back high-energy gentle giant old blue-buffalo-grama-grassy, cowboy, folky, shake-a-leg with a smile sort of thing. A rift is a split or a gap, sort of the like the Rio Grande Rift that we all live on or around. But this music is more about bridging gaps. For us the music is what ties all the different times and places together. We hope you enjoy it. www.rifters.net.howlingdogrecords.net

You can see Orlando’s work at the Santa Fe Complex. As he is a supporter of Obama, I thought this is a great image to use. Thank you Orlando.
I bet all across the nation people will be gathering yo watch the election reviews. This has been an incredible campaign, and I hope that Obama will take the victory. One won’t know until the votes are cast, and I hope that you have or will vote.
In Santa Fe there probably will be many parties, including some more than famous folks at Governor Richardson’s home. It’ll be easier to get in however at Santa Fe’s Brewiing Company Bar and Grill.

Fat Possum recording artists The Heartless Bastards are a cool rock/indie/soul garage band from Cincinnati, Ohio fronted by Erika Wennerstrom, are heading out on a US fall tour to preview material from their forthcoming album, “The Mountain.”
The power-trio’s tour will just started on Saturday 9/13 with a performance at the Southern Comfort Music Experience in Altamont, NY, and will visit nearly 35 cities across the country through late November. Dates include a Sept. 28 performance at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, and a November 3 stop at the Pub & Grill at the SFBC!
“The Mountain,” due in January, is the Heartless Bastards’ third record on Fat Possum Records and features a new lineup and new instrumentation that weaves in mandolins, banjos and strings. An unmastered version of the title track is streaming at the group’s MySpace page.
Last October, Ohio-bred singer/songwriter/guitarist Erika Wennerstrom moved to Austin to write the new album and work with producer Mike McCarthy (Spoon, Trail of Dead). She spent six months holed up in an apartment writing, and then assembled a new group featuring Cincinnati brethren Dave Colvin (drums) and Jesse Ebaugh (bass), who actually played on the Heartless Bastards’ original demo.The lineup on the fall outing will also include Bill Elm on lap steel and occasionally will feature Zy O. Lyn on violin. www.myspace.com/heartlessbastards

VIC CHESNUTT
E L F P O W E R
Vic Chesnutt is from Georgia, where he started writing songs at the age of five. At 18, a car accident left him partially paralyzed, though he could still play guitar. After his recovery he moved to Nashville, the poetry he read there (by Stevie Smith, Walt Whitman, Wallace Stevens, W. H. Auden, Stephen Crane, and Emily Dickinson) inspired him. “Other people write about the bling and the booty. I write about the pus and the gnats. To me, that’s beautiful.”
Elf Power formed in 1994 and have spent the last 14 years releasing nine albums, two eps, a handful of singles, and touring America, Europe,and Japan. Elf Power’s ninth album blasts them past the familiar territories of beautiful records past - landing them on exciting new terrain. Granted, the Elves’ sound is still founded on the bedrock attributes that make them memorable: leader Andrew Rieger’s otherworldly lyrical stances and his easy way with the rare and amazing melody, their instrumentally-eclectic reappraisal of classic rock, and a propulsive rhythm section that’s tight as ever. In A Cave, though, finds them filtering their powerful live approach through a varied, experimental series of recording processes and approaches; the new album plays like a spirited, exploratory series of treatments on the tried-and-true Elf Power sound.
This sort of thoughtful, perpetual motion through the years has sharpened the band’s instincts powerfully and all-inclusively, and the results are joyously evident here; with In A Cave, Elf Power finds a perfect synthesis of their solid, instinctual ensemble playing and open-hearted experimentation, and the result is one of the best, most assured records to come soaring out of Athens in a long, long time. -Jim McHugh
Please go to youtube.com and vote for her, as she is a semi finalist for Cosmopolitian’s Star Launch!
A native of Austin TX, Suzanna Choffel combines her poetic sensibilities and sweet smoky voice with funky urban rhythms to create a fresh and unique sound. She uses her guitar to create staccato rhythms underneath her dazzling soulful vocal melodies, all backed by a pulsing band with unique instrumentation. Her music has been described as “indie pop with urban beats”, and “jazz-infused soul pop” with comparisons ranging from Feist to Nelly Furtado to Norah Jones to Erykah Badu. Since the 2006 release of her debut album, Shudders & Rings, she has been finding her name atop many a music reporter’s list as “one worth watching”. Her song “Hey Mister” was licensed by the City of Austin for inclusion in the Austin Music Vol. 7 compilation CD (March 2008 release). In April 2008, Suzanna Choffel won the $10,000 Grand Prize in the nationwide Famecast Pop competition. Also in April 2008, she won 1st Prize in Music Videos at Ourstage.com. In June 2008, Suzanna was selected by The State Of Texas to represent contemporary Texas music in Texas On Tour, a large countrywide traveling show promoting Texas tourism. Suzanna Choffel’s red-hot band creates a fresh and original instrumental backing. The lineup consists of drummer Eldridge Goins (Johnnie Johnson, Carolyn Wonderland, Big Al DuPree, The Heathens), bassist Johnny Vogelsang (Bob Schneider, Soulhat), vibes/accordion/synth player Laura Scarborough (Lila’s Medicine, Ohn), and saxophone/clarinet player Brad Houser (New Bohemians, Boombox, Critters Buggin’). The result is a smokin’ hot rhythm section that can riff, improv and meander like a jazz band, yet has the stability of her strong pop-soul songs to ground them, resulting in a sensational new sound.www.myspace.com/suzannachoffel

The PLEASURE PILOTS
The Pleasure Pilots band are a popular New Mexico-based dance band playing rocking vintage rhythm and blues, swing and jump music. The Pilots are a six-piece band with a horn section. Instrumentation includes: guitar, piano and Hammond B3, drums, bass, tenor and baritone saxophones. The band specializes in recreating the roots of rhythm and blues.Conceptually, the band draws much of its material from vintage rhythm and blues artists popular in the 1950’s and early 1960’s. (Louis Jordan, Jackie Brenston, Amos Milburn, Junior Guitar Watson, T-bone Walker, Fats Domino, Ray Charles, Albert King, among others). The primary focus of the music, however, is DANCE! The band has drawn very well in New Mexico, particularly among the “dance crowd.” Jay Paul and Randy Forrester of radio station KSFR’s “Gotta Dance” show, have called the group “the best swing band in New Mexico.”Put on your dancing shoes and come fly with the Pleasure Pilots! www.pleasurepilots.com

Boris McCutcheon, a gifted song writer who hangs his hat near Ojo Sarco, NM, (and who just won the Mountain Stage Southwest Regional New Song contest in Austin, Texas!) has a brand new album out on Frogville records! Come to the CD release party! Boris & the full band of Saltlicks (which will include Sharon Gilchrist on mandolin for this special show) will mesmerize you off your seat, get you to boogie on the dance floor, get you to buy their new CD “Bad Road, Good People”, and possibly get you laid although probably, not necessarily in that order. If you caught Boris’s set at Frogfest 3 then you know he can rock the house, so bring some friends down to the Pub & Grill because its going to be another fantastic Frogville party!
Imagine an Obama Victory Party already on the books! That’s confidence in action. First though all good adults must prepare for another fantastic event: Halloween. Perhaps you’ve noticed Halloween isn’t just for kids anymore. Beware of wild adults decked out in outrageous costumes roaming the hills and canyons of Santa Fe. Add a lot of college kids, and the children might really get scared. To help reduce the fright factor, many locations have incredible parties to capture that adult bazaarity and keep the streets safer for wandering young-ins. Round these parts, malls and other public venues have early highly supervised parties for the kids too. I’ll b e at work myself, and perhaps I’ll dawn and outfit to perplex my customers. So prepare for mucho fun! This week’s primo feature: Santa Fe Brewing CO Bar and Grill.

WITH SPECIAL GUESTS
TAARKA
Emerging from a long tradition of gypsy circus troubadours come the solar- powered travelers: carriers of a new musical light; Taarka. This merry band is the culmination of the new millennial, sonic adventures of David Tiller (mandolin, tenor guitar, vocals), Enion Pelta-Tiller (five string violin, vocals), Daniel Plane (cello, vocals), Troy Robey (bass, vocals), and Dale Largent (percussion) - a virtuosic cadre of performers who have roamed the freeways and backroads of the new and old acoustic caravan trail in search of a revolutionary ancient sound for modern times. While the four musicians have individually been spreading song and tune over the aural superhighway since the last century, their collaborative intersection marks a new era of Taarkan tunesmithing. TAARKA is set to release their fourth album, featuring the fantastic new line-up, a guest appearance by superstar fiddler Casey Driessen, and a collection of beautifully written and arranged songs and original instrumentals swimming the gamut of indie-gypsy chamber folk. www.hundredyearflood.com www.myspace.com/taarka

KIM & the CABALLEROS
Country, 2-step & Rockabilly!
Kim says: “My mom force fed old country (we’re talkin’ Loretta, Cash, Waylon, Willie and the boys) to me at an early age, and I rebelled, first playing bass in an 80s rock band, “The Bohiems”, later becoming a folkie, still leaning in the rock genre, but mostly writing tortured love songs and political/social stuff in the band “Burning Joan.” For giggles, in 2003 I recorded a bastardized version of “Blue Eyes Cryin’ in the Rain” for my mom’s birthday, and it all took off from there. I realized my roots had caught up to me and I liked it. We recordered the CD Blue Hearted Girl at Howlin’ Dog Studios in Alamosa, Co. and in Nashville. I live in Taos, New Mexico with my children; work with homeless youth at the DreamTree Project; garden; ride my horse, Nugget, up in the mountains (just like the song says); and sing big ‘ol twangy country every chance I get.” www.myspace.com/kimandthecaballeros

Dance fever happens a lot in Santa Fe. Photo by Mary MacIntyre
There was the Santa Fe Big Jazz band tonight at Santa Fe Brewing CO. I am sure they danced up a storm there!
After my d.o.m. appointment, I was very hungry, and the rain came pouring down. I laughed and grinned about our wonderful rain. After monsoons, it often is very dry. This year we are blessed. As thunder accompanied the rain, I decided to eat out since I wouldn’t be able to work online. I went to Maki Yaki just off St Francis Drive. Near Albertson’s and Zia Rd. I ordered the Calamari and Veggies Tempura. It came with a lettuce salad, steamed rice, and a cup of miso soup. All for $9.17. I enjoyed the mixed inter-generational crowd. SOme young men who looked like gang kids, took time to go over to a tired old man, and inquired about a basketball team. A tourist guy or a travelling biz dude with maps (30’s maybe)…swallowed fast a meal on the run. Some young women arrived for take out and chatted with the “gang” guys. Two folks in their 50’s chatted for a long while before the “rush” came in. See what a little sushi can do in Santa Fe. Great food, good service, and very fair prices keeps everyone stopping by. Remember the take out, the platters, and catering too!

Even though, like any band, they believe describing their sound is like dancing about architecture, they know they’ve gotta provide an inkling or two to those who might read about it before listening. So here goes. Singer/guitarist Josh Grider: “Everybody knows who Merle Haggard is, everybody knows who Dave Matthews is, so if you say we meet in the middle, that’s kind of what’s goin’ on.”
Drummer Daniel Jones: “In a nutshell. You just put some sexiness into Nashville, that’s all. Roots music with a sense of adventure.” Grider: “It’s got the boogie in it. These guys are so funky.” Bassist Chris Grady occasionally tells people they might hear strains of early Robert Earl Keen, or a vibe “kind of like Jack Johnson.” Adds Grady, “Repeatedly, I find myself going, ‘I don’t know, it just sounds like us.’” Yeah. What he said.
The band actually took shape after Grider released Million Miles to Go, his new album. Though Grady and Jones were not involved in recording it, once these three players joined forces, they quickly became a solid unit. They’re already making plans to record together sometime in 2008.
Already, they’ve loaned a new dimension to the rich, slightly Southwest-accented baritone that populates Grider’s album, a mix of twang and pop that can’t, for the most part, be called classic country, but certainly evolved from it. There are well-placed touches of pretty fiddle and mandolin, as in the gently upbeat “Stumbling on the Edge of Greatness,” about making music not just for a living, but for life, or “Crazy Like You,” about finding the perfect soul mate. (Grider’s soul mate, his wife, Kristi, offers clear, elegant soprano harmonies on many of the album’s cuts.)
There are also places where country meets syncopated jazz, as on “Love Went Wrong.” Twinges of folk (but no earnest-singer-songwriter-with-an-acoustic-guitar angst), tweaks of; well, whatever. Americana is as good a description as any.
Onstage, minus the extra strings, things do get even more funky. Grady, as a matter of fact, was in an R&B band once upon a time. Jones’ original frame of reference is metal. Even Grider confesses the first CD he ever bought was Metallica (the black album. Grady’s first was Kiss’ Alive. On cassette.)
Right now, the excitement and creativity level among the three players are so high, they’re ready to create the next potential hit.
“I haven’t been in a band where (after the show), it’s back to the hotel, ‘let’s talk about the tunes,’” says Grider. “We got in the car the other night and literally, the first 30 minutes of the ride was talking about this new tune that we tried for the first time and how we could change it. We’re just really jazzed about playing the music and arranging it in a way that a trio can really present it.”
Both Jones and Grider swear they’re in awe of Grady’s creativity; he’s always got new ideas about where to take a song, they say. According to Grady, the respect and creativity is shared three ways, which helps a lot when they’re racking up miles and hours in the van.
“We’ll go from hardcore metal to bluegrass to one of the Beck records and it’s just all over the place,” he says. “You realize if you just open your ears wide enough, you’re gonna end up ingesting stuff that’s gonna find its way back around.”
That’s part of the reason they enjoy traveling together so much - literally and musically. (Grider characterizes their off-hours dynamic as a mellow hang. “We get up earlier than most bands,” he adds.) Though Grider is interested in finding a publishing deal, these guys aren’t taking the molded-personality/packaged hits route to success.
“We’d like to have a good time playing our music without losing our dignity,” says Jones. (It should be noted that for them, a good time apparently includes cracking all sorts of jokes and riffing off one another in short bursts of what sounds like a comedy routine in the making.)
That attitude is definitely paying dividends. Grider already has been recognized as Newcomer of the Year at the Gruene With Envy Awards, and comparisons to Radney Foster have earned him opportunities to perform with the songwriting/production guru.
Grider’s lyrics are the sort that sometimes stop you a little short when you fully realize their intensity. They have impact, weight, yet there’s no hammering over the head, no whining, no woe-is-me or man, the world sucks. They’re just; great thoughts, well put together. Like he sings in “Stumbling,” for him, it’s all about takin’ a chance on maybe.
Might be the next Johnny come lately/but you can ever tell, he sings. And in “Million,” the title tune - which can be called a classic country twanger - he gives shoutouts to Johnny, Hank and Waylon. It’s a nice coda to “Stumbling”; both address the musical life, but the truth is, Grider and the band don’t have a million miles to go till they stumble on the edge of greatness. They’re already there. And ready to fall right in behind their heroes. www.myspace.com/joshgriderband

ROCK THE VOTE! 7:30 PM $5 SUGGESTED DONATION
Oakhurst has had a reputation for torching bar and theater stages throughout the US with its unique sound and unbridled stage energy for years. But lately, the band has also created a stir on major festival stages, cruise ships and European tours. The band’s adept picking, sweet harmonies, and citybilly swagger have cleary come from playing 200+ shows a year in such varied environments. Oakhurst’s unpretentious, go-for-it interpretation of a genre that’s often handled too reverently, sparks interest in bluegrass by folks who don’t know Doc Watson from Doc Holliday.
Here’s some useful links for those who wish to register to vote, or have questions about the status of their current voter registration.
THE PLEASURE PILOTS
The Pleasure Pilots band is a popular New Mexico-based dance band playing rocking vintage rhythm and blues, swing and jump music. The Pilots are a six-piece band with a horn section. Instrumentation includes: guitar, piano and Hammond B3, drums, bass, tenor and baritone saxophones. The band specializes in recreating the roots of rhythm and blues.
Conceptually, the band draws much of its material from vintage rhythm and blues artists popular in the 1950’s and early 1960’s. (Louis Jordan, Jackie Brenston, Amos Milburn, Junior Guitar Watson, T-bone Walker, Fats Domino, Ray Charles, Albert King, among others). The primary focus of the music, however, is DANCE! The band has drawn very well in New Mexico, particularly among the “dance crowd.” Jay Paul and Randy Forrester of radio station KSFR’s “Gotta Dance” show, have called the group “the best swing band in New Mexico.”

ROUND MOUNTAIN
A Benefit for the Turquoise Trail Charter School Music Program!
Round Mountain’s Char and Robby Rothschild have been playing music together for most of theirlives. Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, their background ranges from Balkan and West African styles to traditional Appalachian music, from classical to funk. While they have played extensively together and separately in many ensembles and projects, including Prince Diabate, Panjea, the Selkies, and Lizard House, this configuration marks the crystallization of their own music using the traditions that have inspired them. Expect many extremes - beautiful acoustic numbers, wild bagpipes, trumpet and accordion played by one person at the same time, Bulgarian zydeco, klezmer, and Malian rhythms, to name a few. But while their music is varied, it is far from random. There is a solvent behind all these different dry ingredients that allows them to blend seamlessly - original songwriting with respect and love for the music. And, of course, the peculiar breed of madness the Rothschild brothers possess.
Round Mountain is a lively mixture of ceremony and irreverence, of exuberance and reflection. Beneath all of these unlikely marriages, a certain warmth remains to unify their sound and their message. In a time when most music has become so brightly polished that no one can see inside, Round Mountain presents a rare rough gem of humanity that glows from within. www.roundmountainmusic.com

GREEN MOUNTAIN GRASS
Live acoustic gonzograss from Austin, TX! Eclectic melodies, creative harmonies, explosive jams, and a thoroghly danceable experience. The four band members in GREEN MOUNTAIN GRASS are Dave Wilmoth (29, mandolin), Adam “Pickles” Moss (24, fiddle), Trevor Smith (18, banjo/guitar), and Jesse Dalton (25, upright bass). Together, they are exploring the sounds of traditional bluegrass, gypsy swing, folk, funk, reggae, and jazz to discover their own genre-bending sound. While some listeners haven taken to calling this sound “gonzograss,” the end result is described by the band as “melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic mastery with elements of sarcasm, quotes, humor, and exaggeration.”
Whether they are in front of an attentive listening-room audience, on a tall stage playing to a throng of sun-baked festival-goers, or in a local venue orchestrating a gonzograss dance party for their fans, something exciting and inspiring is always being created. www.myspce.com/greengrassplayers

Dr. James Biggs of the Conservation Partnership
Dr. James Biggs has been involved in a wide-range of local and regional wildlife science and management projects in New Mexico. Much of his current research pertains to the distribution, movement patterns, and habitat use patterns of large herbivores. His interests center on wildlife-habitat interactions and ecosystem approaches to managing wildlife and habitat resources, in addition to habitat conservation, which he believes is directly linked to sustainable living through responsible development and the “localization” vs. “globalization” of our food and natural resources production and distribution.
Dr. Biggs recently left Los Alamos National Laboratory after a 17 year career as a wildlife biologist to focus his efforts on rangeland conservation. Dr. Biggs started “The Conservation Partnership, LLC” to provide technical support to landowners and developers at all levels of land management, from land use planning to long-term ecological monitoring. His goal is to work with interested parties to ensure long-term conservation of our natural resources.

The Laws are husband-and-wife award-winning singer/songwriters from Ontario, Canada. They have recently recorded their 5th CD of original music and have been touring non-stop throughout Canada, the U.S. and Australia since 2000. Their Americana style songs are an acoustic mix of roots country, bluegrass, folk and pop, delivered with The Laws trademark “tight-as-a-glove” harmony singing. John and Michele Law each sing lead and harmony vocals often switching within songs. John is an expert picker on guitar and mandolin and Michele is a solid bass and acoustic guitar rhythm player.
“ …. begins with this languid, swaying, romantic melody that recalls The Everly Brothers in their prime. Yes, the harmonies really are that good. The mandolin and accordion solos are utterly lovely. Michele adds a third vocal part on “Go Easy” and swings lightly in “Put Some Love In It.” John dazzles with his mandolin instrumental “Texacadia.” They both hypnotize you on “Whiskey and Gasoline” and delight you with finger-popping “Getting Over You.” Heartily recommended.”
Robert Oermann, Music Row Magazine
“John and Michele Law’s songs seem to be the lost essence of country music which has now become so commercial and formulaic sounding.” Randy Bachman
“If Gram Parsons married Alison Krauss their music would sound a lot like John and Michele.” Willie P Bennett www.thelaws.ca

The BOULDER
ACOUSTIC SOCIETY
Each member of BAS comes from a different musical world, and the resulting mix is what makes their music so special. Shredding guitar licks, soaring gypsy violin, a little ukulele and the thump of an old time bass bounce around with a jazz accordion and creative percussion to create a new sound. It is American Roots music with the edge of punk rock and the grace of chamber music.
RANDOM FAMILY STRING BAND
RFSB is a high energy, original newgrass band from Taos, New Mexico. Their well-crafted, smart songwriting combined with their individual styles of play has made them a favorite in northern New Mexico. Up-tempo beats and exquisite vocals drive the audience to the dance floor. RFSB’s original songs blend the contemporary with bluegrass, folk, and instrumental improvisation. Equally at home in the Jam Band and Bluegrass scene, these boys love to pick. RFSB has shared the stage with the Boulder Acoustic Society, Elephant Revival, Last to Know, and the Brent Berry Band. Inspired by Yonder Mountain String Band, Neil Young, Grateful Dead, and Old and in the Way, the Random Family keeps you dancing!

More after I get you a few more updates.
I just watched a fantastic film on DVD called Amazing Grace. It told the story of Mr. William Wilberforce and a long fight against slavery as commerce for England.
Do go see this movie on a DVD. On the near of July 4, when the country will rise up and celebrate the birth of our nation, with dance, pancake breakfasts, music festivals, and fireworks, how many will reflect on the history of economics, commerce, wars, and our most recently denied challenge: global warming.
In the movie, Mr Wiberforce took on an overwhelming challenge and experienced many defeats. Yet, with the help of a woman, he regained his health and returned to his mission where he in a fine strategic move used a political ploy to put an end to slavery for the British empire. He also awakened a people’s sense of morality.
In these days the concept of morality seldom rises to challenge commerce running destructively wild on a rampage destined for destruction. Errant wars divert the people’s conscience so that powers to be can ignore our plant’s health, our elder’s medical care, among multiple other human issues.
What is America’s sense of morality where oil is concerned. In the USA, government and industry lunge forward gasping for more drilling, more nuclear power plants, more coal plants, hoping that their desperation will garnish more power, pollution, and control. Perhaps as stated in the movie, “the King is Mad…and the corporations crazy.
Industry, as in the movie, has lost all moral consciousness. Humans matter not, nor does the planet that sustains us. All too many good people are trapped in the guise of profit and need. I dare note if we combined 20% of the oil companies massive profit, and 40% of our militaries bomb budget, we could convert to alternate fuel and energy sources. Plus there would be plenty of new homegrown USA jobs for American workers. Alas morality and responsibility are values not in vogue by many these days.
Perhaps this fourth of July, we need to look deeply at our roots. Remember what America used to be. Commit ourselves to rid ourselves of an oppressive regime, and scandoulous and racketeerring commerce. Perhaps we need to stand united and find real solutions to our energy needs, and our planet’s health. Perhaps, even take responsibilty for taking care of the earth.
What would happen if cars did not need oil? If houses were heated by the sun? If jobs were created at home to help with our conversion. Make a few links and spread the word.
Ok here’s a wild overview. Come and dance. COme and discover beer all over again. Come and eat. It’s a holiday worth celebrating. Wave your flag high. Celebrate America.

REVEREND PEYTON’S BIG DAMN BAND
“Like Robert Johnson on crack……”
The three-piece from Indianapolis kills with a high-energy sound steeped in classic Blues tradition. With acoustic guitar, dobro, a minimal drum kit and washboard, the trio concocts a rousing, hyper and authentic brand of Blues that sounds like the backwaters of the Mississippi delta. The Rev. Peyton has a voice dripping with the hallowed, life-worn distinctiveness of the masters, while brother Jayme Peyton (drums) and The Rev’s wife, “Washboard” Breezy, stir up a tornadic rhythmic whirl.
