[Zydekitten]

Man, I'm sorry I missed it - I was gettin' my gospel on at the Mahalia tribute with Mavis Staples, Pamela Landrum (from The Johnson Extension) and Irma Thomas.

[chrisjoseph]

Craig Klein was very gracious....pretty wonderful what he said about the Threadheads.

[Lostcajun]

WWOZ broadcast the Gospel Tent during that set. It was great Lisa.

[Lostcajun]

Chris, do you have any idea when they are targeting the Night Crawlers CD to be finished?

[Zydekitten]

Oooh, yeah it was!! I had missed this tribute the last two times it was presented and I dern well wasn't going to miss again today . . . however, the tradeoff was missing the Nightcrawlers, whom I really love . . . sigh.

Listened to the tribute on OZ. Fabulous! Still, wish I'd seen that Crawlers set.

If I could have cloned myself - I would've been at both . . . and as I was up on the top bench of the inside bleachers in the jam-packed Gospel Tent, it would not have been easy to slip out to see some Nightcrawlers.

I'm not a TH (yet?), but I still remember my first Nightcrawlers moment in 2005. I was making a beer run for a group of us hanging in the Blues tent. There was a long line on the outside of the track, so I wandered over to the stand inside. While paying for half a case of beers, bam, I was hit by a wall of sound from the J&H stage. It was a JF moment.

The Nightcrawlers really brought it that afternoon. That was my first exposure to Matt Perrine. Needless to say, the beers were warm by the time I made it back to the Blues tent.

I've got 3 of their CD's. Looking forward to a 4th.

[chrisjoseph]

Slither Slice is out and available for puchase!!!!

[Lostcajun]

Slither Slice, it's out now, baby!!

Not to give you more post-fest FOMS (I guess it's technically FOHMS--fear of having missed something--at that point) ZK, but I saw the whole Mahalia tribute and still saw several Nightcrawlers tunes, including the awesome shout out (more of a great speech) from Craig Klein.

Two of many highlights from Day 1. But definitely two of the most special.
