Well, that was interesting. Lots of good times to be had in JC this weekend. I went up a day early with a couple of friends for Sol Driven Train at the Down Home. They were great as always.
Saturday we decided to make brief excursion over to Depot Street Brewing and ended up staying several hours. So we were primed for the big show at Willow Tree. I am so glad Teri has followed her dream of opening a music venue. She has a wonderful place with great sound, coffee (I presume), and beer (until it ran out!). I wish nothing but the best for she and Zoe. The show was sold out. Don't know if she was over capacity, but it's likely. Yarn played a festy length set and then BDL took the stage. Then Yarn came back out with some special guests from BDL. Then it was BDL with special guests and ended up as a great big ol' jam at the end.
I'm listening to the audience source this morning at work and it sounds pretty damn good. I will try to have something to upload tomorrow.

Dale, please don't give up on the LMA! It's not perfect, but it is the perfect way to keep music for posterity; torrents aren't public and permanent. LMA makes the music accessible to everyone, anytime--not just everyone with torrent ability. It can be a bit more work for us uploaders, but better for the masses :) Hang on!
I've had my share of LMA frustrations (many self-inflicted) and also have an ongoing issue--my matrix source from Brooklyn Bowl won't stay "indexed", so if you go to Yarn's collection you won't see it. The only way to find it currently would be to type in the actual address or click on a link to it :(
I really like the 680. U can put multiple analog xlr or 1/4 sources in and digital in and out. It easier to make a matrix with one source. If any latency issues arise, you can use the time shift feature to get the tracks to match with skipping the painful lining up two sources steps.
I break up with LMA a few times a year. We always get back together. I understand the folks who only torrent, though. With my current internet service at home, I am very limited on the amount of data I can use. So when 500 megs of files show that they are completely uploaded without error but never show up in the directory for the item, it sucks. Especially when you try two more times with the same results.
I'll keep uploading to LMA. I'm just taking a break. I can't torrent from home or work, so it will just be a while before any audio gets shared widely. Doesn't really matter on this one. Jeff has made a damn fine recording. I have ordered a 4-channel recorder that comes with audio/video sync software that automatically lines up wav forms on camera and external audio. When that comes in, I plan to post all my video from the evening.
Take me back to Tennessee! Round 2 at the Willow Tree coming up next weekend! Can't freakin wait! Pretty much a home show for us! Nothing like seeing one of your favorite band AND gettin to sleep in your own bed! Any of y'all freaks making the trip? You should!
