this monday at the hideout
An unusual collaboration between me (guitar) and Paul Turner (spoken word). Paul is an actor and monologuist who, among his other talents, is able to turn the scrappy scenes of his raising in and around Cairo, Illinois, into lean, sparkling, honest stories. For this show, he has taken some of my 50-Vc. Doberman songs and built stories around them, and I've done a little musical tinkering around some of his scripts. Let's see what the result is. 7P, give or take 15 minutes, as usual.

How was this show? I am more than enough of a pathetic fanboy to assume that it was great success, but I can't shake the feeling that this had the potential to be the most preposterously pretentious performance in the history of, um, spoken word interpretations of alt.country songsmiths.
