Ashley,
Thanks for the 411. Exile is an amazing album, but I always thought it should have been two separate albums. Since Happy is from that album, perhaps, Uncle South might grace the stage. So much great material in that album!
As for prizes for the winners, I suggest a dinner with and prepared by The Lead Singer...for the first prize, with an advance copy of the new CD.
Second prize: Advance Copy of the new CD
Third prize: Breakfast for Two at Frank's
Fourth prize: a few lotto tickets (winning numbers, please....)

Thank you, Tash.
I don't do FaceBook, so this much appreciated.
By the way, I do believe that excuse is as credible as the dog ate my homework...

From SSJ Facebook:
Well, folks, Uncle South has done it again. I had a new jive almost done and like, I can't find it on my computer. Truth. Sigh. I'll start all over again, but who can remember their past brilliance. Not I. While we wait, why don't you discuss amongst yerselves what an appropriate prize would be for the best Cry/Shout ...song winners of which there will be ummm....four.

Changing the subject to living musicians, I saw Arturo Sandoval last weekend. He takes trumpet playing to a whole different level but what really amused me was the many flashes of similarity in his expressions and stage shtick with both The Lead Singer and La Bamba. He really looked like their long lost, love child older brother from Cuba.

I don't know if anyone's posted a question about this recently, but looking at this year's tour dates it looks like Uncle South and the Boys are only doing one UK show later this year.. WTF...?! Is this true or are more dates to be added later?

For anyone wanting to continue their heritage pride may I suggest the 2nd largest St.Patricks Day parade in NYS this Sunday in Pearl River NY.The town itself probably boasts the most Irish pubs in the state too and it turns into scenes from Animal House along the parade route and overflowing pubs and in vacant parking lots loaded with "kegs n lassies".
Its like an Irish Mardi Gras and they expect 100,000 this year with the good weather.

Sorry Kmurph-one sip of Guinness and I start posting in triplicates like L.I.G- haha
Besides I always like Kev to know what I am drinking- sorry K I didnt get a 4 ft corned beef and cabbage hero either.
Though the time I was at McSorleys a few years back I did some good damage with their fistfuls of very tasty ales.

Peaches: It wasn't Saturday morning without Fury and Mr. Graves. RIP, indeed. Thanks all for the St. Patrick's Day reminder. Time for an authentic Black and Tan. 8 oz. of Harp lager poured down the side of a pint glass, followed by 8 oz. of Guinness poured over a spoon to prevent head, and keep the "Black and Tan" separation. Cheers!

I was wondering why I wanted a beer when I woke up today. Cheers to all -- The advantage of being at the Jersey Shore is a month long St. Patrick's Day celebration.
Perhaps some will go to McLoone's Supper Club tonight for the U2 tribuite show with Bob Burger, Lisa Bouchelle and others. Don't forget to wear the green.

Yes- Happy St. Patrick`s Day to all you Irish and wannabe Irish- What a beautiful day isnt it?
Heres a couple for ya- so hoist your Coors Lights and enjoy!
For every wound, a balm.
For every sorrow, cheer.
For every storm, a calm.
For every thirst, a beer.
And this one especially for the Chef.
Saint Patrick was a gentleman,
Who through strategy and stealth,
Drove all the snakes from Ireland,
Here’s a toasting to his health.
But not too many toastings
Lest you lose yourself and then
Forget the good Saint Patrick
And see all those snakes again."

A well said sentiment. My all time fave observation is attributed to Hunter S. Thompson: The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

Silvio Speaks:
"It can be disappointing for some to see the business now that it's become pretty much artistically, financially and spiritually bankrupt," Van Zandt said. "There are a lot of good new bands out there, and hopefully we can create an infrastructure to support them."

I'll chime in with a song that makes me cry AND laugh, a little ditty written by that Miami Steven guy, and performed by an obscure East Coast bar band known as Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes back in the 70's, called "I Ain't Got The Fever No More". I ain't too proud to beg, and maybe if I plead and grovel, SOMEDAY they will actually play that one live.

Sorry Chef- Been in extreme hibernation mode and now flooding. But I will tell you that I will make the Kazee show in Fairlawn as thats a week after headin up to Buffalo for my daughters graduation from Buff State graduate school.
God I love Buffalo!
I also contacted Jeff K.about a great place for him to have a show and thats the Turning Point in cool riverside town of Piermont NY. I saw Jim Messina there once and its a great venue and Jeff agreed and will pursue. You can make Piermont an all day thing and probably bump into one of the many celebs that live off that part of the Hudson.
I am not yet worthy of FOTM in my estimation and have to work up something for that nomination but maybe this summer.
As you know almost a year into no job and that has hurt in many ways but also thinking about what song made me cry?
I know there was something way back in the 70`s called McArthur Park (?) that made me cry because I couldnt stand it and never understood a song about baking a cake in the first place!

A song that has made many cry: Richard Holler's Abraham Martin and John, best performed by Dion Dimucci, the studio version and the great one from the Smothers Brothers. Other great ones, Just Ask the Lonely(4 Tops), My Whole World Ended(David Ruffin) Twelth of Never(Elvis Pressly(I think the 5 CD Box Set is Called 70's Masters that has many outakes/demos from Vegas to even include Ann Murray's Snobird. The King, doing Snowbird! And its pretty good. Other tear jerkers include a number by Leon Russell, Lady Blue, Bluebird and Back to the Island(Laughter and Tears) I'm a Telling You(Jerry Butler) and many others by the Iceman For Laughter or Joy: I Can See Clearly by Johnny Nash or Jimmy Cliff, In the Summer Time, by Mungo Jerry, Black Pearl by Sonny Charles and the Checkmates, Double Shot of my Baby's Love by the Swinging Medalions(Jukes did this in '88 in Pgh, PA before they tore down the Holiday House. Many more. Best Tearjerker: Hearts of Stone Best Joy Song: My Little Girl So Fine or the Live Version of Keep Our Love Simple Done by the Jukes in 82 or so at , I think, the Stanley Theatre. Honorable mention to Billy Stewart Regards, Buffalo

NEVER know what you will find on this board to bring on a smile (in the midst of huge trees down from the storm...luckily the house and cars were spared! Storage shed and carport not so lucky!) Hope all are safe and dry, and may your trees always fall away from your home!
