Shave Yo' Legs - Swamp Train - Keb Mo cover
From last week’s gig.

Swamp Train @ Jeizinen Bis
Jeizinen is a charming Valaisan alpine village perched above Gampel-Steg. I can imagine that it hasn’t changed much in the recent years, no big ugly tourist apartment “chalets” to be seen nor are cars allowed; it’s not even clear they would make it through the village’s pathways.

Floyd Lee
It’s been a while since I’ve made it to New York so stumbling on a Floyd Lee video made me a bit nostalgic since listening to him play in the subway is one of the better things a visitor like myself can do in the big apple. (It sure beats doing the gallery scene!)
The last time I saw him I picked up his 2003 “Mad As Hell In Crappy Blues” CD which is a fun album
