OTIS, MY MAN!

This just in from the Thirsty Ear Festival publicity machine:

OTIS TAYLOR REPLACES ODETTA IN LINEUP:
Due to an injury, ODETTA will be unable to perform at the Santa Fe Thirsty Ear Festival on Saturday, Sept. 3. We have little hard information on the injury, other than it's caused the cancelation of all her pending performances. We're all hoping for a thorough recovery. Replacing her is critically acclaimed bluesman OTIS TAYLOR, a W.C. Handy award winner whom Guitar Player magazine calls "arguably the most relevant blues artist of our time." One of our personal favorites, Taylor and his band play stark, original, hard-hitting, trance-like blues whose stories are often based in sometimes brutal history ...

I'm sorry to hear about Odetta's injury, but the cold hard truth is, I'd much rather see Otis. I'll never forget his performance at the 2001 (Dang, has it been that long?) Thirsty Ear, the year they held it at the Bonanza Creek movie ranch.

Speaking of the festival, I'll be doing a lengthy Thirsty Ear set on Friday night's Santa Fe Opry (10 p.m. Friday on KSFR, 90.7 FM)featuring the music of James McMurtry, Beausoleil, Ricki Lee Jones, Alvin Youngblood Hart, etc.

Steve Terrell is proud to report to the monthly Freeform American Roots Radio list

OOOOPS!

Sorry, but I've got to unring a bell.

Seems like I've got to unring a bell here.

Turns out that this week's Terrell's Tune-up was held this week because of all the Indian Market stuff. (Sure wish I'd known that was going to happen a couple of Sundays ago when scrambling to get that column written before I left town ...)

Anyway, I've temporarily pulled what was supposed to be this week's column, my reviewing of the new Drywall album Barbecue Baylon. If you read it while it was posted here for 14 hours or so, please forget everything I said ... until next week when I post it again.

For dynamic coverage of Santa Fe Indian Market, read this week's Pasatiempo in Friday's Santa Fe New Mexican. (Speaking of Indian Market, I freelanced a story on tomorrow night's Native Roots & Rhythms concert at Paolo Soleri. Sorry, it's not online. But an old story I did on NR&R in No Depression is here (scroll down).

MORE VACATION PIX

This is the last batch, I promise ...


The Southwest Chief pulls into Lamy, Aug. 9, 2005.
Johnny Cash inspired me to take this train ...

I really thought this was Ozzie until he asked for a tip to have his picture taken.
Fake Ozzie's web site is here.

"Clowns to the left of me/Jokers to the right ..."

Give me that old time (Venice Beach) religion ..
