HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DAVID MADGALENE

We’re on the outskirts of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The whirl and swirl, beauty of New Orleans still pulling at our hearts. We’ll have to go back again and again. One more time with the Dirty Dozen. And did I mention that awesome night at Chickie Wah Wah with Evan Christopher on clarinet.  David Meltzer said you’d have to be tone deaf to not know it was great.  But we’re on our way to DC and look forward to more magic with many new friends.  The New Columbia Orchestra and Burnett Thompson are on the horizon. The ROCKPILE Symposium hosted by Sarah Browing at IPS co-sponsored by Split This Rock, the gathering of poets at Writer’s Center in Bethesda. (You can read about it on the calendar of gigs). I’m ready for it all.  And also ready for barbecued ribs tomorrow at Wonderland. Everyone here says they are the best in the world (then their eyes roll into the back of their heads). Even David and Terri have agreed to give those ribs a “little” lick. Happy Birthday to David Madgalene, a dear friend and fellow ROCKPILER back home in Sonoma County. I will eat a couple of ribs just for you. We miss you and know you and Judy would love it out here on this crazy road. . . MR
