July 10th, 1998. Promo for the "Walking into Clarksdale" tour. I am the DJ on this. We talked of many things: Dennis Rodman, Buffalo Springfield, Upst8 New York, Bjork, and Robert's earlier band ("Band of Joy"). I threw some random pictures on here, including a shot of me dressed as "St. Elvis" for "Blottoween" with a mutual friend of ours.

For anyone who was wondering how to play this song on guitar - here's a passable version (in a different key than the record, I think). More like Graham Parker's than the Jackson Five's. I think I misspoke about staying on each chord longer for the chorus. Just ignore that.

Alex name checks Glens Falls (where they rehearsed for the tour) and Woodstock (where they recorded the album.) He also talks about Neil Peart's drum lessons ("..aboot time, eh?"). The interviewer is me, back when I had a cool job.

The original was featured in the 1983 Nicholas Cage movie "Valley Girl" - the Plimsouls were playing it in the bar.
I had a little rouble singing the high notes. And the low notes. And all the notes in between.

I can't play this like Chet Atkins either (he recorded it in 1957) so I thought I'd kick it Ventures style. Ya know - these Squier Strats ain't half bad!
If I could do this over I'd: hit that whammy bar a little harder, read the video editing software help file, and change the sweater. It is 15 below in upstate NY tonight! (P.S - The Wiggles called - they want their drumset back.)
