Treebeard's Underground Railroad to ride again

“Welcome aboard, Mark. Got a little time left...”

“Cool! There's beer in the fridge. Don't think they will mind me helping myself to one! Here's to you guys!!”

“Not only did you leave me out, you didn't play any Muddy Waters. That's it. We're not friends anymore.”

“Oh gawd, I'm one of Phaedrus' dwindling circle of friends.

Okay, got my mitt wrapped around an X-Lager. Here's to Mr. Stewed Robin!”

“How about dedicating something to the ailing Al Swearengen? Poor guy's hurting!”

“Dwindling? Geo, you're it!

Can I borrow some money, buddy?”

“There went that circle!”

“Damn! Now I have to change my name and move to another state AGAIN.”

“Treebeard thanks for the shout out.

Nice to have a 'job' where you can drink.

Bell's Amber Ale here.

“Ummmm, try bacpac, Arkansas.”

“After treebeard signs off, we can all report to the posting while drunk thread.”

“I did that already. They hate me there.”

“That was probably the beginning of the end of the circle Phaedy!”

“Okay, Tree you're forgiven... Get muddy waters soon, mmkay? Oh yeah, and please send money.”

“Freakin' CD player! Jumped tracks on me...”

“Hey Geo, when I move to Philly, can I sleep on your sofa?”

“Another one hit wonder you probably don't have in that milk crate is "The Railroad Goes Through the Middle of the House" by Vaughn Monroe.”

“I have 28 cents burning a hole in my pocket, Phaeddy!”

“Sorry man, don't have a sofa.”

“This seems to be a good track, though. I'm filled with blues-glee.”

“Okay, you might have Randy Newman, "Drop the Big One?"”

“or glue-bree... whatever.

Okay, the 28 cents will have to do, Tree, you can owe me the rest. I'll come collect before too long.

Geo, what's the deal? Where do you keep your spare change if you don't have a sofa?”

“Spare change? What is this spare change?”

“Good Dylan track. I have not heard this one. He sounds almost like Leonard Cohen.”

“"Spare change", you know, the stuff we generally spend on "wardrobe"”

“Wardrobe?”

“No wonder you can't keep friends Phaedrus. You talk funny.”

“Thuddup.”

“Good show, Tree!

See ya'll next week.”

“Oh well, what's to do with the rest of the day?”

“Say Hi to Mapes for me.”

“Caught the end this week. Good job tree.”

“Thanks for the kind words! Having been out of the radio game for many years, I needed a warming up period, and I think it's getting back towards the level of quality I was at when doing it on a daily basis. I was listening to lots of old tapes of myself on the reel-to-reel this weekend. Stuff I forgot I did and it sounded pretty good. I have also figured out the new software I have for making radio spots at home to beef up the show. These should start making their way into the mix by next Saturday...”

“Are you sending out tapes to stations? Do DJs use agents? I think you'd be in your element pushing songs rather than pushing paper. :)”

“Nigal, you read my mind. That's the other part of this. One of the reasons I jumped on this thing was that it is a perfect vehicle for me to get back into a semi-regular groove with it. I planned on about six months of this (which is coming up fairly soon) to get comfortable again and then start with unleashing a barrage of tapes (or cd's, as the digital world now dictates). I would love nothing more than do this and drop the legal business...

So, yes, I know the job hunting process well and how to construct the finished product. Believe me, it's forthcoming! And frankly, I'm getting excited about the prospect...”

“I'm coming up Saturday and bringing some beer.”

“Uh-oh! There goes the neighborhood!”

“Hey, I told you, I wasn't responsible for what happened last time, and you have to admit in retrospect that it was pretty amazing. How many times have you seen a donkey do that? And those folks travelled all the way from Tijuana with the donkey.”

“Now where'd that crazy DJ man go?”

“Heah I is! You really coming up this weekend, Geo?”

“"I have also figured out the new software I have for making radio spots at home to beef up the show."

How about some fake commercials to "cheese" things up a bit?”

“April Fools Day is coming, Mark-O!”

“Huh.....whut??”

“Twat? I kunt hear U.”

“Yes tree, I will be there Saturday, ... unless, of course, you won't be.”

“I'm thinking strongly of getting a campsite in Worthington State Forest and staying overnight. Interested?”

“Ugh, forget that idea. The forecast calls for rain this weekend, and I don't feel like dealing with that at this time of year. I will drop in on you though.”

“Stu,
You seem to pretty knowledgeable with regards to music. I'm looking for a CD of accoustical guitar songs with maybe some light percussion. No singing preferred. Something easy on the ears. Various artists compilation or just one group is fine. I'm pretty much a speed metal kind of guy so I don't know who/what is out there for this genre. Any help or a point in the right direction is appreciated.

“Offhand, Earl Klugh comes to mind. He doesn't consider himself "jazz", but others do. regardless, he's a fine, fine accoustic guitar player. He might fit the bill for you. I will think a little harder and post anything else that comes to mind. But, Earl was a first impression...”
