    I received a free copy of this CD about a month ago and I have to say it's quite good. Just happens I'm listening to it right now.

    Anyway, I wanted to post to let people know there's an audience-shot DVD available at http://www.thetradersden.org right now. I'm obviously just a casual fan but I went ahead and downloaded it anyway. Looks like it should be pretty good.

    About an hour left until Jason hits the stage. Webcast looks pretty good thus far.

    It's not too bad...gives the songs a different feel.

    Good quality...and I'm watching on company time.

    I just won tickets to his Chicago show next month. Yay! I'm excited to see him again.

    Congrats!

    When did you find out and how did you find out?

    I was hoping for those St. Louis tickets. :(

    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    Whenever Jason or DBT come close to me they play on a damn Wednesday night.

    I may sit this round out and wait to see what kind of dates that DBT unveil soon.

    It's a wed. for me too. I've gotten to the point where I end up going by myself and leaving Mrs. Merkinball at home with the little merkinballs.

    It just sucks when the headliner doesn't go on till 11. Too quote Danny Glover, I'm getting too old for this shit.

    Looks like there is three bands the night that Isbell plays out here, so I'm sure it'll be a late night, and a tough morning.

    Plus, it sucks for me because I'd have to drive 3 hours to Memphis. If nothing else, living in a bigger town is nice because you don't have to travel that far for shows.

    Living in rural areas makes it hard to see good shows without some travel.

    Maybe two chances for us......Huntsville and Chattanooga.....1 1/2 hour drive on a Thursday night or a two hour drive on a Saturday night.

    Hey PBM - sorry, didn't see your question till today. I got an email from New West saying I'd won.

    I took a PJ friend to the show, and she was converted! She's been playing the cd nonstop.

    Jason's touring with Will Hoge in the spring - I saw him over the summer and he was quite good too. Definitely worth checking out - should be a nice double bill.

    I'll be in Huntsville!! Crossroads is a REALLY small venue. It's like a bar.

    DBT played there a couple years back around this same time of year.

    Been tinkering with my guitar lately.

    I've been starting out with Rockin' In The Free World...doing the verse, then switching up to Never Gonna Change for the chorus.

    On a side note, I remember hearing a Mash-Up of Never Gonna Change & Ice Ice Baby a couple of years ago. Oddly enough, it was quite entertaining.

    It appears that a Birmingham date has been added for 12/28......my lovely wife presented me with tickets last night for the show....an early Christmas gift. :D
