I was poking around the Swindles site – what’s the story with bloody Uncle Mitchy in the Austin Street Live pics?
Want to keep up with the talk around the water cooler?

To celebrate the beginning of her 19th season she gave away NEW CARS to her whole studio audience – over 200 people! 
Looks like she’s going to be giving it away big time this season. If you know someone who deserves to have thier “wildest dreams” fulfilled its time to take action. Make a videotape and send it to the show! I’m telling you, the sky’s the limit. She also paid for a house on this episode. They even say on her website to THINK BIG.
Surely, between all of us we know somebody who deserves some of Oprah‘s generosity. We can even put together a good video.
Ideas?
Slinky String inventor passes away…

Ernie Ball is gone, age 74.
“An artist and a business man in one, Ernie single-handedly revolutionized the music industry with the creation of Slinky Strings, so much so that everyone from the Beach Boys, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix to current artists like Blink 182 have Ernie Ball strings in common,” said Sterling Ball, president of the Ernie Ball Company and one of Ernie’s sons. “Super Slinkys are one of the top products in the music business, and it all started in a small store in Tarzana because my dad understood what players needed.

We’ve been getting a fair amount of reviews and feedback from foreign e-zines and radio DJs lately.
You can read more on the news popup on our site, but here’s a fun one from Rootstime, a roots music website in Belgium. The Dutch to English Altavista translation is priceless…
“The disk contains a number of delicious and squelchy country songs, with in this a dominant role for the songs and guitar game of Glenn Allan, but also the splendid violin and mandolin work of Kim chew tobacco Mackenzie are certain. Joint to that as a extraatje the accordion of guest musician Flaco Jimenez for what joy and ‘Paradise, Texas’ contain delicious numbers enough to find plekje on all play lists of the best radio stations.”
