while waiting for stu cole and michael kelsh to set up last saturday
at the cave, i shot several games of pool and was able to plunk down
quarters for about 18 songs on the jukebox. just some of the stuff we
played was brownie mcghee and sonny terry, (the original merchants
lunch era) red clay ramblers, charlie poole and the nc ramblers, two
dollar pistols, libba cotten, blind boy fuller, new york dolls, neil
young, family dollar pharaohs and the woggles. last time i was at the
green room on ninth st., the cashier's ipod was playing rather than
the juke box. sort of disappointing.
