Had some good jams @ flophousX these last few days. Adam, who's doing pretty good with band "Hallway Ballers" ... well he came up from Santa Cruz to take a break from the scene down there and get some good gray and rain and very cold conditions.Had some good jam time in flophousX music room, George was

leadin' the jam, adam drummed, georged drummed too, and even kaare drummed a session, i did a little hand drumming and some guitar... then lance came up the next day and we had a double bass (george and lance), adam on drums and me on guitar, it was pretty fun couple of three hours. Here's some of what went on....just free jam stuff, (remember-this will open aeparate window and play or you can download with a right click or option click on mac)

Salt soaked & aged for years along coastal swamps of the north east pacific ocean; Layman Raw has somehow inculcated hiscellves into an original and eclectic blend of noise poetry... welcome; may you encounter pleasant and worthwhile stimulations of word, sound, sight and thought....

Should be playing soon 
(around the end of March) 
at the newly remodeled
 mermaid bar and deli in 
Westport Wa Date(s) soon.

Matilda from Sedro Wooley- I was fortunate enough (I didn't think so at the time) to be left out in the field one nite... when I was just a young calf; my horns hadn't even starting coming in yet... well there I was, pretty much alone and a bit frightend; coyotes and cougars and all. and I'm standin' next to the wire in the dark, reflecteing on how wonderful my mamacow's teat was and all of a sudden, there's this crazy commotion like all of hooferdom was dancin' a crazy mootal. Then silence and then.... I hear a buncha bad hoooman sounds of disgust and then, "That's right. I wrote a song about it." ...more

by Sri Boonandanda-

I don't know why, but I've never held the toothless in high regard. Maybe it's just my own cultural predjudices or I might be a bit self obsessed with my own strong baboonal mouthful or maybe some such reason I am currently unaware. But I became of a 'gummy man' at a show the other nite and I might just be ready to reconsider.... more

Knotty Pine Free Jam 28mar08

Weirdport, nepo swamp, usa- Cool Thursday nite jam at the Knotty Pine in Weirdport. Started off with LaymAn playing an acoustic set. And then the rest of the night turned into a round robin of jammin'. Adam from the Hall Ballers played, George Patecek from Pacific Rim Blue jammed on bass and drums and introduced a couple of his new songs. Crab fisher Russle sat in fon drums. Drunk Dustin played his brand new bass... he thought. Mat brought his PA and jammed some fine guitar... People sang... there was even a body wiggle or to too. Yeas dear reader, a good time was had by all. .Still lookin' to see if any pics or vids were taken...
