Thanks again Brad, and howdy neighbor (sort of)! I’m pretty regular at Music Millennium, but hearing of Jack Pot and Artichoke is great news. I haven’t done much exploring in Portland yet, gotta get into it. I lived in Portland in ’77-8, and all the small records stores selling import LP’s and 45’s back then were gone when I got back up here last year, no surprise. But Music Millennium survives! My record store in L.A. was Amoeba, a pretty amazing place.
I’ve been to The Aladdin, saw Joan Osborne last Summer---great room, great show! Hey, if you have nothing better to do this Friday, I’m playing at JB’s Lounge at The Red Lion in Jantzen Beach, next Friday at Vinyl Tap in Milwaukee, and on the 21st at Laurelthirst on NE Glisan. Say howdy, I’ll buy ya a beer!---Eric.
