SOUNDS

• The Jayhawks performed an old spiritual song for a benefit CD to support the Reuben Lindh Family Services. Please buy this cd and support this foundation. Meanwhile you can listen to a MP3 of the song “This Little Light Of Mine”. Recorded somewhere in 2005.

• This is “Everybody Gets By”. A Louris/Olson original which they played a few times. Sadly, it never found a place on an album. This recording comes from the Catspaw Radio Show, November 14 1993. Band: Mark Olson, Gary Louris, Marc Perlman, Ken Callahan & Karen Grotberg. Three-part harmonies by Mark, Gary & Karen. Enjoy! (compressed wav-file, please do not distribute)

• Want to hear some “two-step”? Here’s Mark Olson, Mike “Razz Russell” and Ray Woods performing “Hummingbird”. Also, a completely new arrangement of “Into The Yard” with acappella-stuff! Recorded live in Paradiso (upstairs) June 15^th 2005. (compressed wav-files, please do not distribute)

• The recent Music Photography Gallery Exhibit in Minneapolis contains pictures of the Beatles performing at Met Stadium in 1965. There is a famous interview with a police-officer in which he can’t hide his total dislike of the Fab Four. Listen to that interview segment.
  
  
• Tim O’Reagan and Jim Boquist played a show in Glasgow on May 4^th 2007. I was there and recorded the whole thing. The recording will up on DimeDozen soon but here are two MP3’s just to get a taste of this great performance.
