Weekly Report from Boulder
Friday morning I got one of those calls one never wants to hear ñ you got the backline all squared away for the show in an hour and a half, right? Uh, no, I hadn't realized we were supposed to get any of that! Thanks again to Robb's Music, the Drum Shop, and HB Woodsong's for coming through in a pinch.

We had a blast having Baka Beyond in the studios live that afternoon. The percussionist had on his WOMAD Singapore shirt. Aahh, I haven't been to a WOMAD in so long, since they stopped producing events in the US. But that is where we saw Baka Beyond up in Seattle. We got a forty-minute set from them, previewing their show the next day at the Festival of the Mabon at Planet Bluegrass' site in Lyons. There was a good group of us from KGNU and I ran into my neighbor, Sandra, as well. No surprise that she and everyone around us got into the music and enjoyed dancing barefoot in the grass. Comments overheard ran along the lines of "this is my new favorite band." I hope they come back soon.

I read a great comment in yesterday's paper about the recovery efforts in New Orleans. Apparently one Walmart store fared okay in the storm but was raked clean in the aftermath. The security officer was quoted as saying "They took everything," leaving old clothes and replacing them with new ones. "The only things left are the country-western CDs. You can still get a Shania Twain album."

Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day, arrr!
