hey nancy!!! thanks for clearing up the confusion about the bee gees tune being a 60's one and not an 80's one. i dont even know any 80's bee gees. now some 70's saturday night fever would be a good time. or a bad time for jake trying to sing high notes only certain animals hear.
i have a best of or greatest hits with the best 60's bee gees tunes on it. they're done in a very 60's brit pop way but there are some gems. once, greg, mario, and i played a show with joe henry and we covered "to love somebody the way i love you" and it ruled!!!!! that cd is worth having just for that alone!

about playing with joe strummer...
a friend of mine interviewed him for some magazine and told joe that we cover brand new cadillac which is a song the clash covered by someone else. so, joe said he hated that song for some strange reason because of the guy who wrote it or something. i'm glad we found that out so we dont embarass ourselves asking him to jam that one with us. it'll be great to just see him play!

i dont mean to come off saying stuff like "last show in a long time". i've been catching myself saying those kind of things but what i mean is that we've been on the road constantly this summer and even spring and it's nice to know we're going to record an album in the near future. it's going to be very exciting playing all these new incredible tunes jake has written in a future tour. so i'm savouring these "last" sets, so to speak.
