Saturday in Denver Ben harper just showed up on the stairs of the Capitol building. My good buddy Phil from Red Rocks was jonny on the spot with the video.
Phil, seizing the opportunity had a few moments to talk politics with him as well as ask him when he is coming to play Red Rocks again.
Good work Phil 
Cya this summer!

Two North Mississippi All-Stars shows from Steamboat Springs That I recorded quite a few years ago. I’m pretty sure I never got around to seeding these, at least the one from 2001. Old school, like this photo.
I think I nabbed this jpg from the nmas website about that time.
I’m gonna be adding the torrents to my recordings of ski jam here.
when ski jam is over I may come blogging but for now I just want to get these seeds out.
Ski jam Day 1
South Austin Jug Band 2008-01-11 torrent
Drew Emmitt Band 2008-01-11 torrent
First night has a damed chatty audience.. hopefully skijam fans will start to focus on the concert and not the conversation. IMO the bands failed to engage the audience.
Ski jam Day 2
New Monsoon 2008-01-12 torrent
North Mississippi All-Stars 2008-01-12 torrent
Recordings sound much better the second day. The bands were ripping and the tent was packed. A totally different feel from the previous evening.
Ski jam Day 3
The Dirty Dozen Brass Band 2008-01-13 torrent
Honkytonk Homeslice 2008-01-13 torrent
Solid performance from The Dirty Dozen with a very tight sound and some Mardi Gras flair. A great recording with some very nice audience participation. Honkytonk Homeslice.. well.. was better than last year.
Ski jam Day 4
Back Door Slam 2008-01-14 torrent
Tea Leaf Green 2008-01-14 torrent
Oh yea the day of Ski Jam that I have been waiting for, Back Door Slam and Tea Leaf Green! The tent was a bit empty at the beginning of the evening then Back Door Slam surprised everyone with some sick blues. Tea Leaf Green fallowed up with some sick ass jams.
Here are a few of my highlights.
