A while back, a local organisation called “When You Awake” (named perhaps after the tune by The Band?) which is dedicated to the celebratory perpetuation of neo-retro faux-rural style and culture (though they don’t phrase it that way) took part in a George Harrison Tribute Concert at Spaceland, to raise money for a charity intending to get music lessons to needy kids.

I had the good fortune to be in one of the bands recruited to perform: the Amanda Jo Williams band. We played three songs, with special guests including a tap-dancer and a moog-ist. The house band was SICK good!! Andy Creighton and company. Solid work - we didn’t have a single rehearsal.

I had been hoping for videos of our set to turn up, and they have not, but When You Awake has posted a recording… for the full story and the complete show, dig their site.

Meanwhile, here’s our three tunes for your consideration:

Devil’s Radio (from George’s “Cloud 9″ album)
Sue Me, Sue You Blues (I know this one from Jesse Ed Davis’ “Ululu” record)
Beware Of Darkness (from “All Things Must Pass”)

Enjoy!

… oh yeah … here’s a picture:
