American roots music hand-crafted in small batches.

I love the way it travels from the Mississippi Delta to the Appellachians, Chicago, Texas and the Southwest. Over all that musical geography, you still keep the feel in a laid back mellow groove.

Message-ID: <4967790B.6060909@shout.net> From: Gary Peyton Your are all cordially invited to attend the Next Semi-Annual Reonion of the Weasel Dreams Sextet, who will awake from their hibernation long enough to scurry to the Iron Post to perform this afternoon, Friday, 5-7. It is a little-known factoid that weasels are extremely fond of onions, which thus serve as an inducement to show up. Bribing with food has long been known to be an effective attractant for jazz musicians as well as office workers. Because of some incidents of sleeping on the bandstand (Hence the "Dreaming" part, but the snoring is distracting to the soloist) the Weasels have produced enough new charts to keep all members in a reputation-protecting mode, which aids awakeness, without completely eliminating the potential for a disasterous train wreck (for all you excitement junkies out there). However, we are naturally hoping for some safe sextet, as well. Your weasels, should you choose to accept them, are: Tom Singer and Shab Wirtel - Fliegel Horn and Strumpet (not necessarily in that order) Peter Roubal -Tenure Saxyphone and eastern european currency (in that order) Gary Peyton - Lighter Piano and scuffling (in reverse order) Josh Waldon - Basso Profundo Electro (not in order) Josh Hunt - Drums and temporal security (in order for us to get through the gig) or 2TPG2J for short (TootyPee GeetuJay)(sounds sorta French, dont it?) ...uh...oh yeah... And the potential for a Weasel Friend guest appearance. So - Be there or at least be somewhere! (elderly Weasel statesman words of wisdom) Whatever the case, Buenos Nachos!
