THE GREAT OUTDOORS
Cold Cold Night

Greetings music fans.

That’s what we used to called the Fairview Pub back in the day – ‘The Fairview Medical Building’. ‘Cause that’s where we got our medicine. Plus the place used to be packed with off-duty hospital workers. I used to meet my old dealer there for drinks every Thursday. He was a big Brickhouse fan. Me, I was more a fan of slutty nurses. But I digress.

The Great Outdoors. In concert. This Saturday night. Fairview Pub. If you see Cookie, tell him I said ‘hello’. And tell him I’ll be sure to swing by soon with that four hundred I owe him – maybe the next time Brickhouse plays. 

Shine on you crazy diamonds.

Give Everything 

Greetings music fans.

Happy October.

Remember earlier this week when your Uncle Jon told you about how he was gonna use phone-it-in Friday to fill you in on all the details of the Kingsway recording that happened with the un-fucking-believably amazing Weber Brothers? Well, I changed my mind. Too tired from the rock. (Music, that is. Not crack.)

Oh, and look for Donovan to beat the spread in Philly this week. (There’s a spreadable cream cheese joke in the somewhere, but I am too beat to find it.)

Shine on you crazy diamonds.

Desperate Men - Live @ EVES

KINGSWAY & THE GREAT OUTDOORS 
Desperate Men – Live @ EVES

Greetings music fans.

Looks like your Uncle Jon is going to be “unavailable” for the next 30 days. Perhaps less with good behaviour. Long story. Judge not, first stone casters.

Anyways, probably only going to be able to touch base every week or so, via proxy - i.e. anyone who comes to visit me at Surrey Pre-trial that can work a computer. So, about 15% of the people that will come to visit me while I am in jail. (That last statement explains a lot, huh? I think my peer group is to blame.)

So, yeah, here’s what is coming up on the DDG horizon:

  • RC has started recording a new Kingsway album entitled The Girl Gets Away, based on a series of Dan Brodie paintings. He just recorded the first five songs at Steve Loree’s Crabapple Downs Studio with the greatest band of the new millenium - The Weber Brothers.  I was there. It might be the oxycotin talking, but I thought it sounded like hillbilly motown. And that is my highest compliment. Gold. Hope I am out in time for the next session.
  • The Great Outdoors new album Nanton: Live at the Auditorium Hotel will be available soon in vinyl. On vinyl. In vinyl? I don’t even fucking know anymore. To be honest, I’ve been pounding anti-depressants all day. Trying to get me a nice base for those first few nights of cold turkey. You know, until I make some connections. But I digress. The Great Outdoors on vinyl. What better way to listen to those cats and their 70s folk rock goodness? Beautiful job, Adam. Brilliant as always, Wells. Rock on, Randy. McCaul, I am speechless. Namaste, Steve. I’ll be out in time for your release party. In fact, let’s make your release party my release party.
    ‘…the best live album of the past thirty years…’ BC Musician
  • The Great Outdoors and Kingsway will be playing at the The Cobalt. Pardon me. They will be playing at the NEW Cobalt. I don’t know what defines it as ’new’ now. Probably just finally put doors on the bathrooms. And the stalls. Anyways, those guys were invited to play by the fantasmagorical We Found A Lovebird . Should be a helluva show. It’s on Rememberance Day. Don’t forget. (Sorry. It’s the drugs.)

Alright, off I go. Talk to you when I can, music fans. It’s time for three hots and a cot. Again. When will I grow up?

Shine on you crazy diamonds.

See you later, Nanton. Don’t go changing too much while I’m gone. Shine on you crazy diamonds. Jon Raw owner/operator DDG Records

I’d love to fill y’all in on how the Kingsway recording is going with the fabulous Weber Brothers but, frankly, it took me forty fucking minutes just to get this wifi signal happening. No time to write a novel today. I will make it up to you kids on phone-it-in-Friday. ‘Til then…
