I do not have any artwork to post I live a primitive existence and have limited space and technology which is a perfect segue into the theme of this one.  Due to the universe's strange and meandering forces I find myself in a shotgun shack in the middle of nowhere which is cool to say and you can conjure up a fantastic tale of how someone can end up in this scenario, but I assure you the reality if much more bland.   it is just a retirement plan based upon the idea of eliminating outgo to compensate for the lack of income.   Remember folks math goes both ways.

Keep us posted, I had something in mind for July but it's only in the imagination stage at this point.

Alas no fishing, I was taken out by Events. They were ones I was helping organize, but they took me out none the less.

I think I can be ready for July. I have one I'm working on that I think will be well received; I have a couple done that wouldn't be, so I'm holding out for the one I'm building.

Lazy8 missed his May slot, probably busy fishing or something. Do you want to slide into July?

looking forward to your contribution

Ok I have finished the mix but have been out of town then got sick usual life stuff.   Plan on getting it mailed out this weekend so start looking for it towards the end of next week.

I do try hard. Which usually results in dismalality. 

I think trains are ingrained in all of us. Kind of like the ocean. 

"Train Leaves Here This Morning" Gene Clark- The Eagles covered this gem on their first album. Back then I didn't realize Gene wrote it and did it before the Eagles. I always loved that song.
Tom Petty has a great selection of music that weren't "hits". I love the guitar in this one.
I found the Tishamingo song on a compilation disc I got up in Joshua Tree. It was from an older festival they have every year there.
Bubblegum Lemonade, Steve Lane and East Village I found listening to my favorite weekly show "It's A Jangle Out There".
And one must know... I have to include some Power Pop into all my music listening hourly.

Well I will try my best to provide a review as clever as Miami's, but doubt it will measure up. That was pretty damn good! 
As a kid I always fantasized about jumping a freight train like a hobo and riding out to experience the America that I really only knew of from books and TV. So I've always had a soft spot for train things. Now I can't remember the last time I've even seen a freight train, most of the old tracks are used for bicycles these days. Once I saw the cover art I was looking forward to the journey. Some thoughts as I gazed out the door of the boxcar. 

Shocking Blue - I dug the flamenco style guitar work on this one.
Canadian Railroad Trilogy - Gordo is a Canadian National Treasure up there with Gretzky.
Gene Clark - Kind of a forgotten member of the Byrds. Had a Greatful Dead vibe, wonder if Jerry ever covered it. 
Vigilantes of Love - I don't believe I've ever heard of these/this guy. I see he's from Athens, Georgia. Some good music came out of that little town. 
The Autumn Hearts - Wow! These guys sound great! Totally in my wheelhouse. Favorite of the mix!
Carnival of Sorts - Speaking of Athens Georgia.
In a Boxcar - I'm jamming to this one, good thing I'm not driving as I think the gas peddle would be getting depressed. 
Steve Lane - An Aussie? Don't think of trains there. Song title makes me think of Mussolini. 
Runaway Train - A rare Tom Petty deep cut. Seems all his songs were hits. 
Tishamingo - Clearly Allman Brothers Influenced
Bubblegum Lemonade - Interesting band name. Wonder if they got it from the Name My Band thread on RP.
Train Full of Gasoline - Sounds California-ish. 
Aboard my Train - This Morby guy looks like a pretty productive cat, well travelled. I would like to explore more of his exploits. 
Shake Some Action - Really good power pop, made me think of Big Star. 
Silver Train - Good closing track, fit in tight with all the others. 

This was a fucking GREAT mix! Loaded with good songs, mostly unheard before. I felt transported to Laurel Canyon, Mountains of Georgia, New Jersey and all points in between. I had a Trains, Planes and Automobile mix idea that never came to fruition. I won't even bother now as I don't think it would remotely measure up to this one. Nice job Conductor Kurt!
