The Grant Farm Band

The Grant Farm Band is an underground Colorado rock band. Tyler Grant, Andy Thorn, Chris Misner and a rotation of bass players including Keith Moseley and Eric Thorin. They played a set at Yarmonygrass a few weeks back and really stood tall. Final song was "The Way It Outta Be" and it really hit home for me. Enjoy

Widespread Incidents July 6-7, 2001

10 years ago, 2 nights of the only time SCI and WSP shared a co-headliner gig. night #1 was @ Sandstome Amp in Bonner Springs, KS. WSP opened in the 103 degree heat, 1 set. SCI closed with 2 sets. the next night was Riverport Amp in St Louis, MO where SCI opened and WSP closed. got the JB sit-in on the 1st night and then the absolute highlight of the 2nd night being a huge Ain't No Use with all members of SCI cept Moseley joining WSP.

all sorts of great memories from this 2-show run, the bands were diggin hangin out with each other and a lot of folks from each camp got turned on to the other side. good times on the road with my girlfriend at the time, Donna Dubois and great Spreadkin Stephen Stauss.

Campbell Brothers 7' Bonzer-5

ah yes, my wonderful Campbell Brothers Bonzer-5 rounded pintail. Bought used from the ego-maniac Big Steve Schrimacher of San Clemente, CA. He had put his knee through the deck, you can see where repair ace Joe Hendig of Oceanside repaired it. Glassed by Moonlight Glassing in Encinitas, CA. They have a nice blog called Taped Off you can check here http://www.tapedoff.com

The painting is by my friend Mike Bonnie. Acrylic on canvas.

Sure miss getting to take this gem out more often, but she sits patiently for me and the next solid south swell.
