uncle walt was right

went to get a haircut at 7th street barber shop (now in the old backwoods location) and stopped by fonky fred's for a chicken fried steak 'n' a beer. ran into clay stinnett and we talked about doing a kamandi show with matt hembree, tony chapman, and billy wilson at the chat room (film, as they say, at 11). the lady sitting next to us, darlene pugh, said she was a blues bassplayer who now has ray reed -- with whom i played in lady pearl's b.t.a. band -- on gtr in her band, the blues slobs. i think i remember seeing her play somewhere, maybe the keys lounge. anyway, jeffrey williams walked in looking for directions to a sign maker's shop and wound up staying for a fredburger. he told me that cynthia foster is talking with him, ron geida, and john shook about making a cover band -- an idea with some merit, i'm thinking; those three guys having played well together in kulcha far i, jasper stone, and barber mack. and terry vernixx valderas' uncle was sitting at the end of the bar. how random is that?
