New Tom Petty

Bill, glad you feel that strong. I love Neil,gonna buy it right after Christmas.

As an old geezer myself, I am not a big fan of old geezer musicians. I find most of their stuff recycled, boring, and lackadaisical. When you've lost a step, hang up the spikes.

I spend the majority of my music budget on new bands primarily indie stuff.

That being said Neil Young is an exception, at least for me. His willingness to experiment is refreshing.

Kudos as well to the Doobie Brothers. If you're a fan of their music from the first album to "Stampede", you'll love the new album. It expands on that path.

Hey Bongofury - how are you ?

Just saw your name linked to the Tom Petty thread and checked in. Are you a fan? Not a great fan myself but my cousin is in the band - Steve Ferrone (drummer). Next time they are in LA or SF and if you are free I will wangle a couple of passes and we can grab that beer we never had.

Just thought I would hop off the porn sites and check in and see what chaos you might be creating around here.

Cheers

TT: I am good. Working the whole Summer. Tom Petty can always be counted on to put on a great show. Working Coachella this weekend; some great private parties with Peter Yorn and Aloe Blacc.

I have been following your cousin Steve since the days of AWB. I first saw him in 1977 in Nice, France, with AWB - at that time it was the original band with the addition of Steve - the "Person To Person" album features how they sounded back then. I have both Steve's own albums - It Up and More Head. He is such a tasteful player. I saw Steve on the Mojo tour when they came through and loved the triplet in six time feel on Flash Of Freedom - sounds like something he an Mike came up with together at The Dirty Knobs - certainly a darker sound than one would expect from Petty which is why Mojo is such an interesting new sound for the band.

Anyway if Bongo can't use those tickets then think of me ;-)
