The only live music we've seen in 2009 is DSO (described earlier) on New Year's Eve and City Farm on January 31. City Farm put on a fine performance, perhaps inspired by the large Danville contingency that was there. Nevertheless it's been 4 weeks and I'm starting to suffer withdrawals from not seeing any live music. Railroad Earth is playing on 3/17 at the Birchmere so that may provide the relief that I need.  We saw RRE 4 times in 2008 and each performance was unique and quite tasty. The Birchmere is one of my favorite venues, so 3/19 is looking good.

I heard on SiriusXM the "Outlaw Country" channel "Snake Farm" by Ray Wylie Hubbard followed by "Choctaw Bingo" by James McMurtry. Two cool songs that have a common feel. Check it out.
