Treebeard's Underground Railroad to ride again

“Live music??

.....or dead?”

“Oy...”

“Watch the ticks. The Pine Barrens has a lot of ticks.”

“Its tick wid 'em, huh?”

“I will, Conk! Believe me..I will!”

“For any who\'s tried tuning in lately...
“The Underground Railroad is in the midst of a three week hiatus. This past Saturday, I had a family event to attend. This Saturday, we are airing a live all-day broadcast of several Jersey area bands. So, the regularly scheduled programs are being bumped. And next Saturday, Maple and I are going to be in the Pine Barrens representing the station at a kayaking/concert type event, complete with Friday to Saturday over night campout. The UR returns on May 20th to its regularly scheduled time slot...”
Treebeard”

“Slacker.”

“Ok! Haven't resurrected this thread in a while. I've been on a three week hiatus that is about to come to a close. The railroad shall roll again this week. We'll be taking off a bit early (about 1:30 PM) and rolling until 6. Saturday afternoon...

“what say we do some Tom Waits as the Underground Feature artist of the day? We'll do some of Tom's most prolific tracks, as well as some great covers of his music by the likes of John Hammond, Los Lobos, etc...

“Sounds good to me. Packing music!”

“Hey Path! Missed you guys!”

“Ooo, I like Tom Waits. I'll be listening in today, Tree.

And BTW, I will be in NYC in August. Perhaps we can get together.”

“I'll be listening today, but please don't play too much Los Lobos - I hate that crap, but the other stuff sounds cool.”

“gotta finish cutting the grass - be tuning in again after 2:45 or so

Angie! Sweet!!

Hey, what the heck is this? Jewel?

I plan on marrying Jewel someday.

“What's the matter with Los Lobos?”

“La Bamba es excremento.”

“Would love to, Ruby. Keep me posted. Tom Waits coming up...”

“La Bamba is one tune of a huge library.”

“Anybody who don't like La Bamba ain't American!!

Yo Stuey!!

I'm workin' today......bwa-ha-ha-ha!!!!!

Saw My sister and her husband, *The Huaraches, playin' a set of surf last night at the 14 Carat Cabaret(shameless plug) in Baltimore.

Ricardo(ha ha, Richard) was playin' his wicked-wicked Jaguar Baritone with an ocean of reverb.
This dude is a dedicated artist!!
WOW!!!!

*Guitar, bass and drums.”

“Little sister plays a vintage Mustang Bass.”

“Ha, take that Sarge.”

“De nada!!”

“Ok, that Los Lobos song was muy bien.”

“I'm back from running errands. Geez, I wish I could get you in my car.


What was the name of the band a couple songs ago? something poppin' something. You said you'd like to hear them live.”

“Cherry Popping Daddies---from oregon”

“Thanks!”

“No problem, Ruby. Hey, I gotta apologise to you. I found some CD's I made for you and didn't send out about two months ago. So sorry!!! Forgive me. Will send out as a peace offering this week, ok? :)”

“"I'm back from running errands. Geez, I wish I could get you in my car."
Ruby

Whoa!!

That's a bit randy!!”

“Sounds good, Tree. No problem. Thanks!


LOL, MarkO. I guess that did sound a little funny.”

“Cancelled the scouts' camoing trip tomorrow. So, back to the station. underground feature artist?

Either David Byrne/Talking Heads

Or

Bruuuuuuuuce Springsteen”

“The Boss! I will have you on as I am putting down grass seed in my front yard.”

“Yeah, I think I want to do Bruce's music. His new stuff is phenomenal. I also have a few new tracks, never heard before...”

“Are you talking about the new album? I was torn to purchace concert tickets for Barbie for Mother's Day because the CD was not out yet. Tickets were $92 a piece. YIKES!”

“Yikes is right. But, that's concert tix these days. So many gereedy bastards have their hands in the pie. It's not even the artists that are commanding these prices.

Anyhow, the new album is the "Seeger Sessions." Absolutely fantastic. I will play some great stuff for you tomorrow, if you haven't heard it already. Try and tune in, ok?”

“I will tune in!!!! The show starts at 2 central, yes?”

“You got it, bro!”

“The link:

“"I also have a few new tracks, never heard before..."

Well, duh!!

If it's new........”

“Besides what's on the album, Jack!”

“Speaking of Jack... why don't you simply listen to Jack-FM and play what they play?”

“Oh...........crap, they play Jack-FM in the cafeteria.

Please turn Jack............off!!

Curse you, Violin!!”

“I know how to program classic rock.

You could say that they don't know........JACK.....about deep classic cuts!”

“If you go by commercial success, you'd have to agree they have you beat... hands down.”

“C'mon!”

“I gotta agree with ya Violin, Jack does beat 'em right off the charts, as far as commercial success.

It just goes to show that the general public can be jerked around.”

“At what point do we become honest enough to stop calling it 'classic rock' and start calling it 'oldies'?”

“It used to be a lot easier to start a fight around here.”

“You have poopy pants! Come on now! Put up your dukes!”

“Anybody who won't be programmed by corporate radio is a business-hating-America-hating communist.

Restraint of trade!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“If you go by commercial success, you'd have to agree they have you beat... hands down.”

Of course they do. why do you think I worded it the way I did? Keeps me from putting my foot in mouth...

I don't have to play the game with the folks I work for. That's what makes it all the more fun. If I wind up back in commercial radio, of course I will have to change my tune, so to speak!
