		<title>Gig Preview: Uncommon Ground, Chicago, 3-12-2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I know I just played Uncommon Ground last month, but I assure you that my show there this Saturday night (3/13) is going to be radically different.  Let me count the ways, and you can judge for yourself&#8230;

Up first will be the bluegrass stylings of Nathan Blake Lynn.  A veteran of psych-country group [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s Old is Free</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a brief announcement about the recordings of my previous bands, The Boy Wonder Jinx and Rotary Ten.  It&#8217;s been about a year since the re-launch of this site, which coincided with my making some of that &#8220;old stuff&#8221; available for purchase via PayPal.  The lovingly assembled physical CD-Rs will remain for sale, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Psyching Myself Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rehearsal with the new guitar has been a varied experience.  On the whole, what I said on the day I bought it is true &#8212; as a &#8220;real&#8221; guitar, my Jazzmaster definitely sounds and plays better than any of the cheap-o electrics I&#8217;ve had in the past.  But it does sound different, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Master of Jazz</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My quest for a new, &#8220;real&#8221; guitar came to an unexpected but totally awesome end this past Friday.  I&#8217;d been trawling on eBay &#8212; I almost closed on a Les Paul Special a couple weeks ago, in fact.  But I always kept Guitar Works in the back of my mind.  That&#8217;s the guitar shop in [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Song: &#8220;Here Comes the Sun&#8221; Trio Demo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here Comes the Sun [Trio Demo]
This song&#8217;s gone through many permutations, settling (as usual for me) into something that falls well short of the three minute mark, even when recorded with a full band.  It seems like every time something pops into my head that could stretch to epic proportions &#8212; with solos and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Post-Game: Uncommon Ground, Chicago, 2-5-2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As I&#8217;d mentioned in a message to my email listers, I&#8217;ve had some of the best nights of my musical life at the original Uncommon Ground location in Wrigleyville.  To be perfectly honest, I&#8217;ve had less-than-ideal shows there, too &#8212; including the last time I&#8217;d played there, three or four years ago.  So [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting Geared Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Up through this weekend, work was kind of crazy, and when I&#8217;m not working, I&#8217;m JAMMING.  Not really.  But I will say I&#8217;m well rehearsed for the show on Friday night.  The usual loosening of limbs and fingers, the familiar blisters crowning the tips.  Hour-long sessions going by like five minutes. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Discman Days Revisited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went all-out nutty with gig-grubbing emails at the very beginning of the year, and for a while there I was worried that I&#8217;d get exactly NO bites, but no!  I mean yes!  I have a show back at the Uncommon Ground in Wrigleyville on Friday 2/5.  And there are slight feelers [...]]]></description>

		<title>Merge Book and Booking Merge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Amy said she felt like she was rolling the dice when she got me Our Noise: The Story of Merge Records just a couple days before Christmas.  She knows I&#8217;m a geek, and she saw this book about some indie label that had been around for 20 years, so she impulse-purchased it.  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>This Cigar Box Guitar Says Happy New Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So Amy got me a cigar box guitar for Christmas.  Man, I had zero luck guessing what that tall gift leaning against the couch might be.  It is, as you can see, pretty gorgeous:
Snaps on Facebook elicited huzzahs and a request to see and hear it in action.  So I just shot [...]]]></description>
