I just booked tickets to see the "Opry Country Classics" show at Ryman Auditorium, Nashville on what will be my wife and I's first full night in Music City in September. It's hosted by Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers, and features classic stories and songs, with guest musicians singing country favorites. There will also be a Spotlight Artist headlining the show performing a selection of their hits. They don't announce any of the acts until the week of the show, but to be honest, we're not too bothered who we see. We just wanna hear some classic country music in the Ryman, while we soak up the atmosphere and daydream about all the amazing acts who've performed in that place over the years. Tickets were pretty reasonably priced too (I didn't go for the most expensive) and we've got what looks to be fairly decent seats. I can't wait!! Ryman is great; I have been to lots of shows there. Have fun! I was in Washington, D.C. two weeks ago for a pair of concerts by British singer/composer/producer Imogen Heap. One was a regular band concert with her former mentor Guy Sigsworth, with whom she comprised the duo Frou Frou. The other was a private acoustic concert, all request, for 30 people. Super cool stuff! She is quite a talent, and American pop radio has been using (really over-using) the harmonizer effect that she popularized in her song "Hide and Seek."

I saw Imogen Heap live at some point in about 1998 or 1999. She was supporting someone else, but I'm damned if I can remember who. I do remember her being pretty good though. That said, I'm not such a fan that I've bought any of her records.

Check out her album "Ellipse" for which she won a Grammy for best engineering -- an award that artists and women rarely win. Her albums "Speak for Yourself" and "Sparks" on either side of it are good as well.

Here's a little acoustic recording of me and the wife doing "Cecilia" by Simon & Garfunkel. It's me on vocals and guitar, and my wife on harmony vocals and flute... And a Soundcloud link: soundcloud.com/user-153092682/cecilia

P.S.: That song has a couple flashback meanings for me... I remember my brother and I coming up with some silly version of the song that went 'Cecilia, you're breaking my foot' when we were kids and spending the summer with our grandparents. Then I also flashback to hearing a reggae version from Jamaica a couple of years later and remember exactly where I was and how I was feeling.

My wife and I should have more stuff up soon. I'm trying to get more pro-active about actually bothering to record our music...you know, for promotional use on the web mainly. But also just because it's fun to do. I have another duo and some of our stuff can be found here... soundcloud.com/weathertop-preachersAnd I plan to add some more of my own original material to soundcloud in the not too distant future under the name of Dr. Paul O'Kynd. Presently I only have one original song up, and it's a VERY rough demo at that. But I have a huge backlog of my songs to record, so hopefully I'll have more stuff up there soon. Anyway, if you fancy hearing a crappy recording of a song that I'm rather proud of, but which I wrote 7 or 8 years ago, here's the link... soundcloud.com/dr-paul-okynd

Here's a slightly burlesque flavoured version of the Micheal Jackson song "The Way You Make Me Feel" that my wife and I recorded recently. We don't play this song live much any more, as it's a bit too subtle for noisy barrooms. But I wanted to get a reasonable recording of it down for posterity...

This weekend is the annual Waterfront Blues Festival in Portland. You can listen from anywhere - go to kboo.fm/listen-now from noon to 10pm Pacific (that's 2pm to midnight Central and 3pm to 1am Eastern time). The festival opened last night; the headliner was Robert Cray. Tonight ends with MarchFourth; tomorrow has St. Paul & the Broken Bones, and Sunday has Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, with lots of other bands too. Today's broadcast starts in a few minutes.

Here's a little recording of my wife and I doing Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay". It's me on acoustic guitar and vocals, and the wife playing flute...

This is the first time I ever liked any version of this song.
Of course, I've only heard yours and Michael Jackson's, so it could be that his is the only one I don't like ...

One of my favorite songs. Thanks, Slam. It's one of my favourites too. It's daunting taking on such a stone cold classic song, but our stripped back version always goes down well when we play it live. So I guess we must at least play it half reasonably.

No vocals. Just metal.
