I recently found an article in the Pioneer Press about Leo Kottke who has been performing with the guitar for over 40 years! He started playing the violin at age 5, shortly after--the trombone, but when he was 11 he found the guitar and every other instrument took a back seat. While reminiscing over his last 40 years on stage Kottke says, "So, yes, it is a privilege to still play. There is something very humbling in that for me." Leo Kottke played at the State Theater on November 28th. To read the rest of the article, Click Here.

A very intriguing juxtaposition from Kottke is the band, Total Babe, a Minneapolis group compromised of 16 and 17 year-old's who are just in the early stages of their performance career. They are taking the stage at 7th St. Entry Saturday, Dec. 4. Also performing alongside Total Babe are the Red Pens, Communist Daughter, and Porcupine. Lucky for us, somehow they've managed to squeeze all that musical power into a trivial $6!!!

To express yourself through lyrics and music is an envious outlet (for me at least). Sadly I only have words as a vocal tune, as my voice is as croaky as your average toad and my knowledge of the language of composition is nill. It's nice to be appreciated for your efforts for theirs and your pleasure. Feel reciprically proud, and take comfort in at the very least you have one fan! Strive on regardless of consequence and try not to give up on your ambitions or dreams. Take care. Bye.
