What an extraordinary 3 days it was! Highlights for me are way too many to mention, but included Little Feat right at the end, a blistering Allmanesque version of "The Road Goes on Forever" (Robert Earl Keen / Rich Brotherton), Ricky Scaggs and Kentucky Thunder, and a mesmerising version of "The Weight" by Gillian Welch, Emmylou and Old Crow Medicine Show late on the Saturday. Then there was Allen Toussaint, Earl Scruggs, Guy Clark, Booker T, etc, etc... I saw one guy walking around wearing a Rhythms T-shirt. Was that you?

Off to Narooma this weekend to catch Charlie Musselwhite, Candy Kayne and of course Cederic Burnside and Lightin Malcolm. You missed a great gig at Baz's, Charles was in great form and Davey Lane was teriffic (he looks about 12 years old!). Caught up with Rob and Richard there, we are all following your blog. Any way just wanted to let you know that I am really enjoying reading about your exploits. Take Care Sarah Hi there Brian

And i doesn't have to. No Depression didn't reach it's end because of r a lack of circulation (few pubs ever do)_ but because there was no longer an advertising base, the fundamentallsource of revenue. And that had everything to do with the general environment, almost nothing to do with the magazine's quality as such. In any case, that was an interesting AMA discussion at times, if maybe more somber than energizing, but I should clear up that I wasn't the one with the "who says they won't read long form pieces online?" question.
