It was another episode of Frail PaGans that resembled the preamble to my constitution, the riGht to and the reminder to, no matter. Stories of times in the past of first level pulls or ballot checks…Victor and I brouGht home the point and the reminder that our global family depends on us building that bridge. I also had the honor of having Chris Wood of the Wood Brothers on the program. We spoke of the upcoming show this Friday at the Majestic, the new live CD which features versions of tunes recorded right here at the Majestic last time round….we went over the track “Doppler” from the newest live Medeski Martin & Wood album “Free Magic” and spoke of his and Oliver’s fathers influence on them as musicians and performers. It was in fact, a great ending to the proGram…Here’s what went around that:

I want to thank friend of the proGram, Victor Wooten for once aGain gracing us with his voice, his words and his being on the proGram. We spoke of the upcoming show at the Majestic, the symbolism beyond the new albums “Sword & Stone” & Words & Tones”, and most importantly we kept it real about where we all fit in around the naturalist in us all, and how each live show is the moment that matter, all others are rehearsal moments for that time….I enjoy Vic and so many of you seemed to as well…here’s the music that went with the enlightenment, the path up or down if you will:

Otherwise known as the Ordeal Episode of Frail PaGans…It was the karma of the being, the road with the hole we never knew was there until…the other line rang. It was another installment of Frail Pagans featuring Victor DeLorenzo and myself when the other line rang and ended up summonsing the end of the episode on 3…count ’em three separate occasions….The oddity of this G-Roll with it event was only successful as Vic kept calling back in, (once even ordering pizza in Cantonese, I believe). We ended up speaking about and airing the debut of “It Don’t Work That Way” by Lorenzo Menzerschmidt…How appropriate the title….the episode’s opening reading from an unknown author lived true throughout the conversation as every word we took was the street we knew (until that line 2 lit up)….Hey, with absolutely no issue whatsoever with the phone, friend of the proGram, Todd Clouser rang in later in the show to discuss the upcoming gig at Redamte Cafe, the latest album with the works on the next…but..the schwinGG moment was to find that we would get to hEAR Todd sing during this upcoming show…Here’s the way it went down…(is that the phone ringing?):

I want to send a early morning thank you to Dave Bruzza of Greensky Bluegrass for making a 10amCDT phoner work out for all parties. The listeners were especially happy to hear it from the man, not just the music. We chatted about the newest album “Handguns”, the trickiness of what your eyes might see on stage versus what the band actually does with those instruments and why someone would want to make sure not to miss them in Madison on the 28th at the Majestic Theater.
