Long time friend of mine and huge Black Potatoe supporter and festival patron Monica Bors Mansfield is helping a very cool friend Betsy Siggins chronicle her time in and around the folk revival scene.

I recently posted an acoustic version of my song Maeve. Being it is Maeve’s birthday, I will re-post the studio version of the song. I love my Maeve, she is a good egg and we are very fortunate as a family to have her. Love ya Maevy. Sometime I even go with Maevy Gravy, or if I’m mad it’s “Mavis Staples”, followed by “I’ll take you there… if you don’t behave”. Which of course I would never do, but every now and then…. Just kidding, I love her to the moon and back. Tomorrow we will going to Santa Cruz Boardwalk, to hint vampires of course.

Working Mix of the song Maeve from an upcoming release from The Matt Angus Thing. Maeve's Birthday present version.

This was song that was on the Angus Album "Face The Day" from 2000. I think this festival is either 2004 or 2005, leave a comment if you know. I wrote this...

I love this story. If your Dad was the greatest foul shot guy of all time, yeah it is worth it to take the knowledge he has, even if it makes you look like a grandma.

The dorkiest shot in basketball all but retired from the sport when Rick Barry did. Now his son is an Olympian—and the granny free throw is getting its place on the world stage.
