What's New?

What's New? Well we've been busy. Beyond playing shows we've been doing some other sorts of fun and interesting things. Yesterday we did what has become the annual Channel Austin EXSE Spoken Word Poetry Showcase. This is the 4th year that we've done it. It's always fun and thanks always to Karla Saldana for selecting us to perform. This year we had our friend Eric Sterns come and play Native American flute behind our music and poetry. In fact I think that this may have been the best one yet, thanks in part to Eric.

Also the other day we did a live radio broadcast on KDRP Dripping Springs with Bill Paige which was a lot of fun, and thanks to Bill for having us. We happened in on vinyl week and helped Bill to pick out some of the selections that he was spinning. I recall that for some reason Led Zeppelin's Led Zeppelin II was among the choices of records (remember that word?) to be played and between the two Bullies we picked the tracks "What is and What Should Never Be" and "Lemon Song" which famously references (being nice) Robert Johnson's "Traveling Riverside Blues". Well being that "Lemon Song" is over 6 minutes long, not exactly suitable for quick action radio shows, the former track won out. Then out of the blue Bill played Willie Dixon's "I'm Ready" which oddly enough was the inspiration behind the name "Tombstone Bullies". Although in truth the lyric in "I'm Ready" is actually "tombstone bullets" we maybe heard or thought differently of it and went with the "bullies". And speaking of Bullies and music we also played several songs on the air, three actually and an interview, which is a lot of air time. So, overall it was a great broadcast for us, glad we did it. Thanks for reading,
