OK, it's been a while between blogs again. Time to get back at it.

Bob Dylan is still on his Never-Ending Tour, & is set to have Volume 8 of his official bootleg series released in early October.

If you're a regular Night Moves listener you may have already heard "Dreamin' Of You', a great unreleased track from Bob's "Time Out Of Mind" album.

Hey, just in case you can't make it out to see Eliza Gilkyson at the Canmore or Edmonton Folk Festivals, I though you might be interested in this upcoming Calgary gig on August 1st.

Get out & enjoy the music of this great singer-songwriter

You can tell her I sent ya!

WOW!!...What about that Festival huh?

WOW!!...Is it really that long since I blogged??

Well, this gal's been busy. That's my excuse & I'm stickin' to it.

I certainly hope that you enjoyed the "Night Moves" programming around the Calgary Folk Music Festival. I sure enjoyed being down there & getting to check out as many of the acts as I possibly could.

OK...after a quick Google of "Cowboy Facts" it seemed that our southern neighbours had more interest in them than we did, so just in case you're heading out to Stampede, & why wouldn't you be?...you can check out these bits of invaluable info - just in case you end up in a trivia contest.

http://www.thethomasranch.com/thomas_ranch_037.htm is the place where you can not only find out all about Cowboys (& Cows too) - but also find some great Cowboy Sayings that might just come in handy this week: http://www.thethomasranch.com/thomas_ranch_087.htm

I was in Lethbridge recently, & thought i’d pick up the new Emmylou Harris disc, “All I Intended To Be”.

A quick trip to HMV just prior to their 6 o’clock closing was fruitless. The clerk told me that they hadn’t had it yet but had some on order.

Well, I felt I just had to share this with you all - especially as I just realized that my last blog entry was over two weeks ago - but come on...give a gal a break...it's almost officially SUMMER, & there's other stuff to do!

Anyway, when I checked my email the other day there was a very nice note from this English guy who works for a digital PR company in the UK doing work for the two remaining Canadian Virgin Festivals.

Yes…The Beatles on “Night Moves”! Well, at least a classic Beatles track given a whole “new” treatment.

There is so much EXCELLENT roots music out there, with more being released all the time, & it's really great to get emails from listeners asking; "Hey...what was that song you played..."?

Be sure to keep listening to "Night Moves" to hear some of the very best acts in the Roots Music genre. Whether they're old faves or new to your ears, chances are I'll be spinning them on "Night Moves" sooner or later.
