Blue State Cowboys: October 2013
http://bluestatecowboys.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
The Occasional Musings and Musical Adventures of Chicago's Most Litigious Band. Saturday, October 19, 2013. Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving . . . For damn near each of the last fifteen years, I've spent the night before Thanksgiving making music with friends in any number of watering holes around town. This year will be no exception. Posted by Matt Farmer. Sunday, October 6, 2013. Takin' It to the Streets. It was an easy decision for me. First, the Bears don't play on Sunday, October 13. But I did so ...

Blue State Cowboys: A 50-50 Chance of Good Music
http://bluestatecowboys.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-50-50-chance-of-good-music.html
The Occasional Musings and Musical Adventures of Chicago's Most Litigious Band. Friday, September 5, 2014. A 50-50 Chance of Good Music. We’re calling it a belated 50th birthday bash in the 50th Ward, but it’s really just an excuse for two not-so-young-anymore guys to play some music on a Saturday night in one of our favorite local pubs. Posted by Matt Farmer. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Wednesday, August 3. Lisa Derosia and Matt Farmer. 5:00 p.m-7:30 pm. Saturday-Sunday, July 2-3. New Buffalo, MI.

Blue State Cowboys: October 2014
http://bluestatecowboys.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
The Occasional Musings and Musical Adventures of Chicago's Most Litigious Band. Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Plutocrat (The Ballad of Bruce Rauner). Last weekend I wrote a song that mentions charter schools, the bourgeoisie and reproductive rights. It also name-checks Walter Payton, H.G. Wells and Arne Duncan. Cole Porter, Doc Pomus and Gerry Goffin are likely rolling over in their graves. Plutocrat (The Ballad of Bruce Rauner). Some rich guys buy fancy cars. Some spend their money on old guitars. You kn...

Blue State Cowboys: June 2013
http://bluestatecowboys.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
The Occasional Musings and Musical Adventures of Chicago's Most Litigious Band. Sunday, June 16, 2013. A Voice I No Longer Hear. I've got a pretty good ear for voices. Ten seconds into a recording, I can usually tell you that we’re listening to Faron Young or Carla Thomas or Jimmy Witherspoon or Shirley Horn. In fact, just by typing those names, I can instantly conjure up the sounds of their singing (and, in some cases, speaking) voices. I haven't heard it since the morning of September 25, 1978. I remem...

Blue State Cowboys: The House of Stuart
http://bluestatecowboys.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-house-of-stuart.html
The Occasional Musings and Musical Adventures of Chicago's Most Litigious Band. Saturday, October 4, 2014. The House of Stuart. Yes, I’m running out of disc space, but I can’t seem to pull the trigger and delete performances by Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives - one of the baddest bands in the land - jamming with folks like Tommy Emmanuel, Deke Dickerson, Vince Gill and Paul Franklin.

Blue State Cowboys: Takin' It to the Streets
http://bluestatecowboys.blogspot.com/2013/10/takin-it-to-streets.html
The Occasional Musings and Musical Adventures of Chicago's Most Litigious Band. Sunday, October 6, 2013. Takin' It to the Streets. It was an easy decision for me. First, the Bears don't play on Sunday, October 13. Second, I'm not running the 2013 Chicago Marathon, which also takes place that day. Truth be told, I swore off marathon running at age 8, after watching an impostor steal Frank Shorter's thunder. At the 1972 Olympics in Munich. We'll be rockin' and rollin' from noon until 2 pm There's no cover ...
