Last night, Gary and I went to the
Stan Ridgway concert at
Mississsippi Studios.
It was a small, almost intimate affair with some old die-hard fans. But what a concert! We all had an absolutely great time hearing old
Wall of Voodoo favorites ("
The Factory," "
Lost Weekend," "
Camouflage," etc.), a couple of
Drywall numbers, as well as new songs from the
Neon Mirage album. There is nothing like hearing this live. I love the stories told in the songs, and the the music is still so very, very cool...

And, as after every concert, the band was available for small talk and signing CDs, posters...and my sketchbook.Call
