A lot of new CD's in the mix today including my six picks for this month's FAR Chart (*).

I had some of the local members of the Wayne Drury Project into the studio to perform a couple of Druy's songs. Drury was a prolific songwriter here in the Eugene area during the late '60s and early '70s and was the front man for the band Jackdaw. Drury wrote so many songs that some were preformed only a couple of times before being lost, while others have carried on and been preserved. By the late '70s Drury's battle with MS made playing and singing too difficult for him to carry on. Last year after 40 years, former band mate and London resident, Rob Anderson collaborated with Wizz Jones to stage several shows in London featuring the lost songs of Wayne Drury. The shows were such a success that Anderson and Randy Crawford (also a member of Jackdaw) are both returning to Eugene to preform with the group of local musicians that have joined together with the goal of bringing Drury's music to the forefront once again.
 As a friend of Anderson's, local musician Greg Volstead has been leading the effort to form the local group of musicians. Volstead says that the project for him is more than to just  bring back Drury's songs for those familiar with Drury back in the day, but introducing them to a new generation of musicians, a passing along of the music in the folk tradition. Local members of the group come from several local bands including The Whiskey Chasers, Tara Stonecipher and The Tall Grass, Stagger and Sway, and The Whopner County Country Allstars.
Look for dates of the two up-coming local performances of The Wayne Drury Project in the concert calendar.

Thanks for all of the support during our recent fundraiser. We even exceeded our goal!!!

Time to stretch out with a few long tunes and some friends to play live in the studio again. This week it was Barefoot Leroy who stopped by and played for us this week. They sounded great doing a couple of covers(one penned by Gram Parsons) and an original tune called "Goodbye Sleepy Town". They are working on putting a CD together which will hopefully be out in the spring. Their "Housebroken Tour" has them playing around the area over the next several weeks. Check out the dates on our concert calendar.

Next week we will have The Wayne Drury Project into the studio for some music and conversation.

We were finishing up our Fall Membership Drive at KRVM. Thank you to all who have pledged their support to KRVM and especially the support for Routes & Branches. If you want to contribute to KRVM, please go to our web site: http://www.krvm.org/
I received Pete Seeger and Lorre Wyatt's new CD this week and found several songs that I liked and a couple that I felt really fit a pledge drive show like the tunes which started and end my show this week. From my childhood days to today Pete Seeger inspires me to be a better person and steward of this planet that we live on each and every day.
