Happy Halloween from JoE PoLtZ
My Dad made a message for you guys to download and play at your houses and places of labor. click here to listen
I quite like this message and I'm sure you will too. This is the type of thing I grew up with during Halloween when my Dad and Mom would answer the door to hand out candy. My Pop would be howling out loud and scaring the crap out of all the little kids.
I had a great time in the midwest and I want to thank you for showing up in full force regalia. The show I did for Daytrotter was way cool. I want to thank Sean and his band of merry makers for making my stay in Rock Island Illinois one to remember. You see, I'm a little bit weird, I love discovering new towns to play in and now I am able to rock the quad cities. This is a good thing my friendly friends. The stuff they are doing at Daytrotter is really quite tasteful. They recorded about 8 songs of me playing live in the studio on to 2 track tape. The sound they get out of there is pretty high quality. I'll let you know when my session gets put up on line.
The show at Sleepy Creek was sold out and they made me lasagna. How do I have a following in Fairmount Illinois? All I know is that I can't wait to go back and play another show. The people out in their neck of the woods sure know how to have fun.
I think I went up to Milwaukee after Sleepy Creek. Yes, and then I got to play some of my favorite songs on WUWM and they let me pick out songs for an hour. Here's what I played and the order I played the songs in.
Mini Skirt Esquivel and His Orchestra Esquivel: Cabaret Mañana
Woody and Dutch on the Slow Train to Peking Rickie Lee Jones Pirates
Tropical Hot Dog Night Captain Beefheart Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller)
Have You Seen Her The Chi-Lites The Chi-Lites: 20 Greatest Hits
The Shining Badly Drawn Boy The Hour of Bewilderbeast
Independence Day Elliott Smith XO
Left of the Dial The Replacements Tim
Cemetery Polka Tom Waits Rain Dogs
A Case of You Joni Mitchell Blue
Shining Star Earth, Wind & Fire Greatest Hits
Natural High BLOODSTONE (Jackie Brown soundtrack)
Moon River (From "Breakfast at Tiffany's") HENRY MANCINI
If you get a chance, download these songs and put them in this order and close your eyes and feel really good. I promise you'll smile and dance around and maybe even cry.
The benefit for Jon Dee Graham was a success. We raised over 5 grand but that doesn't even begin to put a dent into his medical bills. Keep your grapes peeled for other opportunities to help this fine American out with his medical bills.
I made it back just in time to play a sold out show at Anthology in San Diego. They informed me that I was the first person to ever stage dive in their illustrious club. I played with The Cynics so it seemed like the proper thing to do. Yes it did.
Finally, there are some new Canadian shows coming up
Nov 12 Hugh's Room Toronto
Nov 13 Garden Street Cafe Guelph, Ontario
Nov 14 London Music Club London, Ontario
Nov 15 Irish Mountain Music House Concert Meaford Ontario
Nov 16 The Black Sheep Inn Wakefield, Quebec
Nov 17 The Moonshine Café Oakville, Ontario
Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Stevey Joe. It was great to see you with the cynics in the beautiful town that is San Diego.
Your dad is a twisted man Steve, old boy. Humphrey very much liked his message though and knew it was your dad... I'll have some peeps out to your Ontario shows hopefully. Wish I could be there!

The liberals are upset that common citizens like you are exercising their right to free speech, and are using it to let the liberals know they have had enough and are going to let their voice be heard.
