Bob Dylan has got a funny voice, wait I here you scream. Sacrilege! OK he is a genius, but he has got very a characteristic sound and manner that might well cause him to be rejected from the X factor auditions without a moments notice. Tom Waites? OK so my point is this. Should everything be pasteurized and homogenized and diluted and refined to the point of blandness to reach some anodyne notion of popular art. Well if its art no, but what if its entertainment with only a small a for art. Is it worth being true to your artistic conception or should you just take the money and run,(or just walk very fast without drawing too much attention to oneself) and what if you just want to be an artist?

Portabello Gold
I have just played a guest spot at the Portobello Gold with Vicky in our Delta Ladies incarnation, and it went quite well I think.
The usual mixture some Bluegrass a comedy song and a bit of folk rock. It took my mind off the other problems of impending doom for a while which helped.
Fisher Theatre Bungay
I went to Bungay yesterday to visit the Fisher Theatre where Elephant Shelf is playing a double header with Rupert Herries on October the 3rd. It’s quite a trek as its up near Norwich and its a lovely place even though its a 220 mile round trip. Ralph and Vicky came with me and we checked out the theater for all the techie stuff ,arranging the get in and so forth.
