I ran across this on facebook - worth re-posting here:

The Fabulous Jalopy Theatre - a documentary

Very cool frankie - and I would imagine a rare kind of business model!

[frankie]

i would think so...  they're good people at jalopy.  you don't find a place like that very often.

It's enough to make you want to open your own! Have to learn to restore instruments and open mail though.

I think "exemplary" is the right word here.

What a great place, and he seems like such a good guy, my hat is off to him!

Hi Frank,
Is that your new CD?  If so, congratulations!
All best,
Johnm

It's not quite THE new CD, but one we should have made about a year ago, I guess.  Maybe more.  It's a homemade - limited edition, I guess you might say.  Kim did all the photography/artwork.  Here's the tracklist:

 1. Stop and Listen
 2. Curly Headed Woman
 3. Listening All The Day
 4. That Lonesome Train
 5. Highway 61
 6. Things About Coming My Way
 7. Ain't Gonna Be Worried No More
 8. Carbolic Rag
 9. Please Don't Dog Me 'Round
10. Old Dog Blue
11. One Dime Blues
12. Baby, How Can It Be?
13. Leaving Town Blues
14. Bamalong Blues

There's more in the pipeline.  March will be busy, busy, busy.  I might need to try and have days added!

Short of making a trek to Brooklyn on the 28th, how would one get a hold of this?

Yes, and how about overseas?

thanks for the interest, fellas - if we have some left over from this weekend, I'll post details.  we may also do a short run of it next month.  more later!

last bump for this, I promise - one thing I feel like I should point out is that getting to hear kim and me is only one reason to come out...  the real reason is to hear both Joe Bellulovich and Pat Conte - Pat's a multi-instrumentalist of no mean interests and ability.  No telling what he's going to play or where he might have gotten it.  Always the biggest ears in the room.

Joe is very likely the best harmonica player you have never heard - effortlessly moving between Noah Lewis, Hammie Nixon, Sonny Boy, Deford Bailey...  and saying so doesn't really do him justice, either - he's got amazing, heavy time and incredibly three-dimensional tone.  Notes you can reach out and touch...  and, he can pull it off while playing guitar with the harp in a rack.  Unbelievable.

If you're coming, make sure to get there by 8pm to catch Joe's solo set (rare!!!!).  You won't believe your ears.

It's great to hear that there are people out there playing harp in the styles of the old guys. All too rare it seems to me. (A digression, but one of the wildest things I've heard is Joe Filisko playing like Gwen Foster. Blew my mind.)
