Great website for the band. I'll keep an eye on the site and next time I'm in the D will try to get by and see you all, as long as the place serves Guinness. I love traditional Irish music. Was in Ireland in November and heard lots, including at Matt Malloy's in Westport, the place owned by one of the Chieftains.

Great music you're making. Everyone should check it out.

Thanks! We're just starting to get booked in the pubs..we're not taking just anything that comes along. Been playing other venues not on the schedule. Did you read the musician page? We run three 45min. sets of "road music" a night... grin
Guiness is required in the contract. smirk

I was in Ireland in May. Wow. Just "Wow". Awesome place.

There is a pub music session in Arlington every Tuesday night and Dallas on Saturdays/Sundays. Next time you are in town, let me know and I'll tell you where we'll be.

There has been so many! When I hear a song, I can recall when, where and what I was doing at the time. Although I have many fav's, I don't listen to much in the woods. I'm inspired to write my own stuff in solitude. I pen the lyrical idea and when I get back I take it to my bud's studio to finish. Then I create my own memories.

i saw the word "studio" in there, so that means some of those "memories" have been recorded and need to be shared.

Why not with your fellow hikers?

How about what songs remind us of the TRAIL, instead?

"Society", by Eddie Vedder: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRUGvArWX...t=1&index=1

"Fred Bear", by Ted Nugent:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilqa-lo3yVY

Last of The Mohicans soundtrack:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aV6btJjmOo&feature=related

"F-ing Moskitos" :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxcFA1YWGS4

"Wild Hearted Son", by The Cult:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFrhKs4ZAbg



And of course, the Dora The Explorer "Backpack Re-Mix" song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hugMZF7YX7g

You can go here-- http://eyereckon.com/Calculated%20X/Calculated%20X/
and check out sample bits of stuff I did in the 80's
I wrote tracks 2,5,8,11,12,13,15. Track 15 is something I penned a few years ago and is a remix. This is a compilation CD with some old live stuff someone recorded with a protable,battery operated cassete POS.
My newer stuff is not protected at the moment but is influenced by getting out of the city and into the woods. A title I'm currently working on is "No sign of life" That meaning the city..

Tea Leaf Green1 Great band! Saw them live a few times, such a good up coming rockin band.

Yonder Mountain String Band and the Grateful Dead are my favorite driving bands, and anytime bands really.

yeah... I like Tea Leaf Green as well.

How about Leftover Salmon's "Out in the Woods". That's a good one, too.

"The Idiot Kings" by Soulcoughing is great too.
"No Quarter" - Tool. I actually like this better then the original.
"No Woman No Cry" - Bob Marley 'Good friends we've had, or good friends we've lost, along the way' Gets me every time.
"Face of Appalachia" - John Sebastian. Formerly of the Lovin Spoonful, great song about the AT.

There's a wonderful album that is by far my favorite to play when on a road trip. It's by a band called Turin Brakes, the album is called "the Optimist Lp". There's even a song titled "The Road" which is one of my favorites off the album. An amazing album that is highly underrated and overlooked by many.

Here's their myspace page:

Oh no, the video in the link is no longer available! Sorry, I was away in Sydney for the week and didn't get to it sooner. I realized, though, that the song I'm referring to is "Across the Great Divide."

"I've been walkin' in my sleep
Countin' troubles 'stead of countin' sheep
Where the years went I can't say
I just turned around and they've gone away . . ."

Fantastic band! Why aren't you in Northern Virginia where I can go see y'all perform? Not fair.
