   My Goodness Unc! Why didn’t you ‘warn me’ this morning! Here I was rather laid back & enjoying your show; Then Taylor comes on with 7MB. I am Still trying to come down to earth once again, after his performance on AI! Yes~Simon? Could he actually be ‘getting it’ Finally? And ~ even the ‘after the show’ pictures paint a picture of him enjoying conversation with Taylor. There is still hope!
   Thanx soooo much for including Taylor in today’s show. I am fully stoked & ready to approach this weekend ‘full speed ahead’!
   On the other side ~ it is also a ‘bittersweet’ day in knowing the music industry has lost a creative artist & a Friend of yours. He may not be singing here on this earth any longer, but imagine the glorious music as he is now singing with the angels.
   May God’s Love reach the hearts of his Family & Friends to give them comfort♥

   Dear Gr8 and Dear Medo,

   Thanks for dropping by, good to see you this fine day.

   The music is all good and be sure to drop by and check out the Lighthouse Food Project and Tim Lane.

   Links are in the post. Tell your friends, maybe Twitter it, who knows? Use the TwitThis in the sidebar or post in FB, or MySpace.

   You folks are good at getting the word out.

   I just don’t wanna hear about hungry kids in my state and in this nation. Unthinkable.

   Hey unc.–I too liked Vern Gosdin-he’s from my home state so its a sad loss-but hey-there’s another voice in heaven now. Thanks for including both his music–AND Taylor’s SMOKIN’ performance from AI–people are still buzzing and Amazon sales of “The Distance” were at #1 on Movers and Shakers until Vern Gosdin took it-but that’s OK too-there’s plenty of room.

   Have a great weekend and thanks for all you do for Taylor, the Soul Patrol and the indie artists.

   God Bless!

   Dear OBG,

   I wish Wordpress had a mirror. If it did I would embed it here and you’d see that I’d throw all the Kindness and Good Words right back at’cha!

   Yeah boy. Both artists are on a high plain right this minute not drifting and I imagine, lovin’ the company.

   Whomp on!

   I am going to be looking into Country music now that Taylor has begun the transition to that Genre. His roots are as Southern as they come and he was a Nashville resident for a time in his younger days, so the shift shouldn’t be to much of a stretch. I am thinking Country Rock or Country Blues.
   I am going to look into Vern also and I am sure he valued the friendship of all his fans.

   Dear Cath,

   Great! Just a few of my thoughts, FWIW.

   Today’s country encompasses many “lost” styles. A real big tent. Country is all-embracing of the roots of the music whether it be hills, blues, Southern rock or strings/synths sampling; all are accepted and expected.

   “Country” comes from the heart and soul of the artist, whether in Texas, California, Vermont or Rhode Island - or The British Isles.

   Dedicated listeners can always spot a put on.

   I can dig a story/song told to the solo sounds of a fine tuned Martin guitar feel the torch singer’s hurt with a big band backing. Both can send a chill up this country boy’s spine.

   Thanks for listening and commenting, Cath.

   Unc,

   You have followers over here in Chi-Town. We love your show and WLSO.FM. I am happy to help be a part of helping to feed the hungry. Thanks for including my song, “Daddy’s Little Girl,” which a video and the song is on YouTube. I received a coupld of e-mails from people that heard the song on your show. Let Tim Lane know that I would be more than happy to help his feeding of children as I do have a “Save Our Children” song and website featuring my other anti-child abuse songs to help disadvantage kids. Thanks again. You have a follower on Twitter. Peace.

   Peter Love

   Dear Peter,

   That’s the spirit. I look forward to including the song “Save Our Children” in an upcoming show. Time is short, you know. Peace to you too, sir.

    Dear Gypsee,

    You’re most welcome!

    In the list of names, alphabetically, Uncleshag comes in just before Vinny, Ying-Yang, Zero and Zippy.

    It’s good to be on top! Thanks!
