I was hoping to post Chuck Potashner’s CD Release/Farewell show from the Oriental last night, but apparently forget to actually hit record!  (Too many Dale’s?)  As a worthy alternative, here’s Bad Weather California’s performance.  Their next album (the first under the BWC moniker) is due out in April on States Rights Records!

Good friends, good tequila, and good times are common to any RCPM show, but on this night these principles rang truer than usual.  Roger Clyne came out to the farewell party for my friends Dave and Laura, treating us to very intimate (and drunken) solo acoustic renditions of Peacemakers and Refreshments tunes.  As a nightcap, pals Johnny Hickman (Cracker) and Jim Dalton (Railbenders) joined in for some fun singalongs and cover tunes.

Dave and Laura, you’ll be missed!
