Meet me in the evening where the river is low
Meet me on the waters of the Ohio
No lines, no lines
The river is a river not a line
My blood is the water and it’s darker and deeper than timeIf the hounds are howling and you cannot hide
My friend I will meet you on the other side
No lines, no lines
The river is a river not a line
My love is the water and it’s stronger and deeper than timeMeet me ‘neath the moon under the singing tree
If you are the first stay there and wait for me
If no one comes by morning and the sun is rising red
If no one comes by morning please forgive me my friend
For I am dead

Preston Reed’s Indiegogo Crowdfunding Campaign
Preston DMed me on Twitter to ask me to let people know about his proposed crowd-sourced global tour, and I’m happy to help support him! He was one of the first (if not the first) to use that two-handed highly percussive style that’s all over the acoustic guitar world today, and I’ve been a fan for years.
Here’s the page at Indiegogo.com with more info and links to become a contributor (with some great perks as well): Preston Reed NEW ALBUM & TOUR | Indiegogo.
And here’s a selection from his YouTube channel, titled “Ladies Night.”
Overnight Acoustic: Maneli Jamal & Van Larkins - Settle In
For mp3 & tabs visit manelijamal.com or vanlarkins.com
Music also available on iTunes, Amazon, emusic, etc.Van Larkins and I have this ritual that we do every time we meet up the first day of any tour we’re going to start. We sit down and write a piece of music together. This literally happened the first day I arrived in New Zealand with little to no sleep after a 25 hour flight, OUCH!
We totaled 35 shows in New Zealand / Australia and had a blast playing this duo piece exclusively for the audiences who attended the shows. Now we bring the guitar madness to you on your computer! What do you think?
Bob Schneider’s Creepy New Song: Digging for Icicles
Directed by Gary Dorsey, “Digging For Icicles” is from Bob Schneider’s new album Burden of Proof available June 11. Schneider describes Dorsey’s approach: “he has taken a dark esoteric song about being irrevocably lost and given it a visual language that compliments the emotional tone of the piece perfectly.”
Purchase Schneider’s single “Unpromised Land” now on iTunes.

Tuesday Night Jam: David Byrne & St. Vincent - I Should Watch TV
Saturday Jam: XTC Live on Rockpalast, 1982
A great YouTube discovery via Dangerous Minds, here’s a 1982 performance on German TV’s Rockpalast by XTC, a band that almost never plays live. It’s a shame that Andy Partridge hated touring so much — he’s really a good performer (and never got enough credit for his guitar playing).
This is a full concert, and the video quality is remarkably good considering how old it is. I took the liberty of setting the start time at one of my favorite songs:
“No Thugs In Our House”
The insect-headed worker-wife will hang her waspies on the line;
Her husband burns his paper, sucks his pipe while studying their
cushion-floor;
His viscous poly-paste breath comes out,
Their wall-paper world shattered by his shout,
A boy in blue is busy banging out a headache on the kitchen
door.And all the while Graham slept on,
Dreaming of a world where he could do just what he wanted to.No thugs in our house, are there dear?
We made that clear,
We made little Graham promise us he’d be a good boy.No thugs in our house, are there dear?
We made that clear,
We made little Graham promise us he’d be a good boy.The young policeman who just can’t grow a moustache will open up
his book,
And spoil their breakfast with reports of Asians who have been
so badly kicked,
Is this your son’s wallet I’ve got here?
He must have dropped it after too much beer.
Oh, officer, we can’t believe our little angel is the one you’ve
picked.And all the while Graham slept on,
Dreaming of a world where he could do just what he wanted to.No thugs in our house, are there dear?
We made that clear,
We made little Graham promise us he’d be a good boy.No thugs in our house, are there dear?
We made that clear,
We made little Graham promise us he’d be a good boy.They never read those pamphlets in his bottom drawer,
They never read those tattoos on his arm.
They thought that it was just a boy’s club badge he wore,
They never dreamt he’d cause folks any harm.The insect-headed worker wife will hang her waspies on the line;
She’s singing something stale and simple now this business has
fizzled right out;
Her little tune is such a happy song
Her son is innocent,
He can’t do wrong,
‘Cos dad’s a judge and knows exactly what the job of judging’s
all about.And all the while Graham slept on,
Dreaming of a world where he could do just what he wanted to.No thugs in our house, are there dear?
We made that clear,
We made little Graham promise us he’d be a good boy.No thugs in our house, are there dear?
We made that clear,
We made little Graham promise us he’d be a good boy.
