    Thanks, kramer!

    So I realized recently I had never heard the original Heyday by Mic Christopher, (only Glen's version, which I LOVE) and finally got around to listening to it...fantastic. Glen has the best taste :)

    Samjam if you wanna see Mic and Glen's incredible chemistry, this video is a favorite of mine. It's a cover of a Michelle Shocked song called "Fogtown" and Mic and Glen used to play it busking in Dublin back when they really busked... Mic was a brilliant musician and person.

    Thanks to whoever posted the Glen interview. What an awesome, authentic human being is he. So uplifting and encouraging to hear him speak his mind (and make his music :wink: ).

    It has "Didn't He Ramble" and "The Way Back In The Way Back When". Both were total standout songs live. Sounded awesome. Cant wait to hear the studios!

    He is coming to Lisinski Hall here in Zagreb in early March..
    been thinking of buying a ticket - around 27$ is the cheapest one, is it worth it?

    That is my favourite Bowie song! I LOVE Ashes to Ashes. Forget just Bowie. That is one of my favourite songs of all time (Glen's cover is a little rough (obviously - it's in his hotel room after all), but I love that he chose to cover THAT song. :) ).
    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
