np: Gatemouth Brown - Blackjack (Sugar Hill) (reissue from the '77 Real Records LP) Can't believe it's been 22 years. Represents several firsts for me from 1977: First time I'd ever heard of Gatemouth Brown. Just thought it looked cool at the record store. Liked his name, and his clothes in the cover shot. First cassette format I'd ever bought. (sounded *so* much better than 8-track on my brand new Sound Design player) First black man I'd ever heard play blues fiddle. (wait a minuteI *still* haven't heard another black man play fiddle blues like GMB; I'm guessing they're out there somewhere, I just haven't heard them) Listening now, I'm reminded how Gate plays the words to "Blackjack" on his guitar, and the notes are as understandable as the words are. (kinda like Albert Collins' playing the words "shut upbitch" on Too Many Dirty Dishes) Twangy, jazzy, bluesy fun. I love itagain. Joe X. Horn Third Coast Music Network

The bosses need to know ya'll are out there. (we've spent quite a bit of $$$ to broadcast on the net) We have a bunch of cool premiums left, including a few of Terry Allen's new Salivation disc (thanks Steve Gardner / Sugar Hill) for a pledge of a mere $30. Cool T's and other swag too. In addition to whatever pledge / premium deal you might make, I have made a provision to reward the person making a pledge from the greatest distance from San Antonio Texas. To that person, I will include with their premium, a Third Coast cap, (cool black low-profile w/TCMN skull logo - wooo-hoo) *and* a disc from my personal library. (your choice; we'll talk) Please, if you have listened, and enjoyed it - even if you can't make a pledge, let KSYM know that you're out there, (e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and that you care about the music.

Kimmie Rhodes / Turntables
I really haven't worried about it much since my old turntable broke nine years ago, just about the time I got my first disc player. Have hoarded and weaseled literally thousands of cd's since then, but only recently began thinking about some of my old vinyl, and wishing I could hear it again. Actually, a year or so ago I started thinking I'd like to get another turntable, but was gonna try to find one that played 78's. What few I have noticed are all in some hideous console with a burned-out television. Last weekend, I was at a garage sale, and noticed a Dual 1019 turntable, (c. 1965-69) was absolutely pristine, and played not only 78, (with the same needle, no less) but the near-useless 16 rpm. (two years ago I wouldn't have even known what that was for - thanks everybody) Seems to be a lot of reasonably priced 78's around, but didn't want to buy any until I'd nailed a way to listen. Thought this'n looked pretty cool, with the heavy walnut case, and thick teak / plexi lid. Seventy bucks.Y-Ha. S. Finally got aroud to hooking it up, the first thing I grabbed was Kimmie Rhodes - Man In The Moon (Heartland) album she'd given me back when I first started the show in '90. Had only heard a couple of tracks when I've taken it in to the station to use, and am just now enjoying it in full. Starts with Jimmy Day steel break on the title track that kills. Not sure how KR feels about this album - I'm sure she's advanced as a songwriter, but there's some damn fine stuff on here. (6 originals, plus Helen Phillips - Texas Blues; Jack Clement's - Just Someone I Used To Know; Bobby E. Smith's - How Long; Ned Washington's - When I Wish Upon A Star, which sends chills down my spine) Like all her albums, she's surrouded herself with top-shelf musicians who understand her music, and compliment her effort - Kimmie's a hell of a talent, but I figure even a two-headed baboon would have to work at it, to screw up a record that had Jimmy Day, Wes McGhee, (harmony vocals) David Zettner, Eric Hokkanen, Marcia Ball, Spencer Starnes, John Reed, Joe Gracey, (production; elec. guitar) Freddie Krc, Steve Meador, Bobby Arnold, and Bobby Earl Smith helping out. Damn, I'm enjoying this like when I was a kid and found a long-lost toy. Next, I'm grabbin' that box of Bob Wills rekkids my old man left me. Joe Horn Third Coast Music Network

Slim Yeah, if the story is that McClinton taught Lennon *how* to play harmonica, then it's not true. Delbert says in several interviews I've read that he taught Lennon how *he* played the harmonica, which makes more sense. I'm guessing JL had been honking around on the harp for a while before they met. Who knows / cares, right? It's a great story either way.
