Even though a nasty head cold kept me from traveling down to St. Louis and
Belleville this weekend to see Adam Marsland perform, I did get to play host
to Adam as a "crash pad" after his Sunday gig before he had to head on to
Chicago.  

The upshot of this, aside from not having met face-to-face before (which was
pleasant enough), was that I got to hear several tracks from Adam's
forthcoming solo CD.  Not your father's Cockeyed Ghost at all.  He's gone a
little rootsier - perhaps a result of playing acoustic solo shows - and at
times reminded me of Kevin Gilbert.  Guests include Evie Sands and various
Wondermints - sounds included some real cellos and lap steel.  Very cool
sounding stuff, and I for one am anxious to hear the whole thing when
released.

So those of you in the path of Adam's current solo tour, make a point to try
and attend.  I wish I had been able to do so, but my nose is still arguing
with me (makes it real fun to try singing, by the way).

And hey Adam, if you see this - "...a planet where apes evolved from
men?..."

"Hi Keeba"
