Steve Krinsky: Playlist from July 12, 2008

July 12, 2008: Just Back from Austin
We got in at 5 am Friday morning, from San Antone, after more than a week in Texas. Mostly Austin, visiting old friends, eating mexican food and hearing mucho music. Then a few days in the hill country west of town-- Enchanted Rock, Lost Maples, Rio Frio, with a final stay in Utopia, Texas on the Sabinal River. I brought a lot of this music back with me.

Hey, Steve! Great show as always...though I feel as though it is a long ago Friday in East Orange and I am in the record library getting ready to come on next. Anyway, greetings from Minnesota, hope you are well.

Sat. 7/12/08 8:33pm steve krinsky:

Hi all: Nice to hear from you; I'm in a groove, with less than a half hour to go. Will try to fit stuff in but, if not, next time. Check out old shows on the archive; write more to stevek@wfmu.org. (Andy: I heard you on the air a while back, when you were in town. Hope all is well.)

Sat. 7/12/08 8:44pm andy waltzer:

Things are good...sipping a beer with a friend, listening to your show while the sun sets- how bad could that be? Living in the country, nice...but hearing the run down of upcoming live shows makes me yearn a bit for NYC (saw Rachid Taha and Dengue Fever last week- great show). We have a great bluegrass festival once per year, though- it's fantastic. Other than that, married and all, fixing to move to Minneapolis...if ever you are around these parts, let me know!

Sat. 7/12/08 8:48pm andy waltzer:

p.s. funny- i had a version of caravan cued up during my fill in but ran out of time- it was by 17 Pygmies.

Sat. 7/12/08 8:51pm Miriam:

Do you have the cd "Smashes" by Zircus? It has a great version of Caravan.

Mon. 7/21/08 4:07pm Coffin Pete:

Great show. I especially enjoyed the tex-mex tracks. Thanks for including us on the caravan section of your show! We're psyched to have WFMU on our side.
