I believe you! I bought this album used, not really "into" such a bluegrass tinged folk kind of sound but I wore it out! Funny songs for the blue days, blues tunes with David's unique twist- I'm not a musician nor a music critic so I don't possess the " right" words- I just know extraordinary music when I hear it. My turntable broke. LPS sit in crates not forgotten but not enjoyed unless I had "bread" to replace it with a CD- damn tapes invariably stretched or tangled, whatever! John Hartford brought me here- forgive me David for forgetting all the joy this album gave me- my memory, letting life's turmoil take over- maybe I can afford that CD! Namaste

Funny story: I've been a Bromberg fan forever - since the early 70s - but like you I assumed he was mostly unhear of. Many years ago, I was visiting family in Tampa and he was appearing at a little dive restaurant/bar called Skipper's Smokehouse, near Univ. South Florida and I decided to go see him. The place was packed with a few hundred people, but it being a Friday night and a college town in the cultural desert of Florida (I used to live there), and with cheap Red Stripe beers, I still assumed nobody there knew who he was. So he starts into "I Like To Sleep Late In The Morning". He gets to the chorus for the first time, and I swear every last person in the bar sang along.

Needless to say that is the reason I'm probably the only person my age who listens to David Bromberg, I love him and his work, great stuff and Nice memories :)

Those were heady years... John Hartford would criss-cross tour dates and sit in with each other. I saw him with Steve Goodman sitting in on one of David's shows... then the next year, the favor was returned. Jerry Jeff Walker... Jimmy Buffett... and several John Prine as guest or vice versa's. Those late '70s and early '80s were full of those chances. Darn... we never did see Madonna, though-!! Wow - what a loss, eh?!! ha ha

Once upon a time there were devices called 8 tracks, and I had many in my VW camper van. I had all of David Bromberg's early ones, and they were played often during my many great road trips. This particular song always found my foot a just a little heavier on the gas pedal towards the end, at the fiddle breakdown, bouncing in our seats and big ole' smiles on our faces as we rolled on down the road. Always. Thanks, David Bromberg for some mighty fine memories.

I saw Bromberg on my birthday Feb 9, I think 1978 or 79. He was playing a song with fiddles and the power went out. He calmed everyone down and came out in the aisle about 20 rows with 2 other guys with fiddles. The emergency lights were on and he was able to see what he was doing. They played like crazy for 10 minutes. They were still playing and the power came back on and they all ran back up on the stage and finished the song. If they planned this, it couldn't have been better.

They gave us a truck & put us on the road- From New Jersey we travelled to Michigan, Oklahoma, Maine, Georgia and all points in between. Me and a fellow driver-we were both 22 years old. This song captured those hauls for us better than anything out at the time (with the possible exception of "Radar Love" by Golden Earring)- Who can ever forget "eating cardboard pie" or fighting over nothing!!

...and then we'd ride. Boy do I remember this. Had a buddy who thought mounting his turntable to the wall was a good thing... until this song came along. Starting slowly, winding up to the wildest dance party ever known to man (listening to hillbilly music that is). Then the turntable started skipping... bodies slamming against the wall, floor, each other... and then the turntable hit the floor. The following 5 seconds were absolutely silent, followed by the loudest howling laughter you've ever heard. David has cemented a couple of memories in my mind that will last a lifetime.

My Father saw me listening to this in 79. In Feb 79 I went to the Texas oilfield then. My father warned me that if I didn't get a new job then out. Carter was worse than Joe. So after Wanda Weave laid off I flogged my 73 VW Super Beetle. It was cold. I watched the illustrated man with Steiger and his character washed up in a stream. The location was NorCal. Worked, Hitchhiker. Then hit the jackpot. Got a job in 80 Offshore Oilfield. Flew home on a 727. I was the only one on the plane. The stews had me come to first class. Why? Duh? DB Cooper. That light bulb came on six months later. Great Album.

I've seen him 6 times over the years, from his old big band to solo, playing his novelty stories to blue grass to blue to whatever. He probably never played the same song in any two performances. The only thing common was one incredibly talented musician devoted to authentic American music. Each show was thoroughly enjoyable and memorable in its own right.

All through Northern Oregon Always at my side Sleeping in those narrow beds And then we'd ride Drinking in those dirty bars Keeping out of sight Sleeping in that cold back seat And then we'd ride You know that God damned road seemed like it went forever Exhaust fumes made our eyes turn red and swell With our clothes stuck to the seat and to our bodies It was a stinking summer trip to southern hell Eating carbonated crap Churning up inside Gas soaked service station johns And then we'd ride (fiddles solo) Silence in the front seat Trying not to start to fight Quiet as and all silent And then we'd ride You know you can grow to hate these...little one horse towns With the seamy.. Movie houses all closed down No where to go from here but up and down the road And nothing over there but the same goddamned town Another sour coffe cup One more piece of cardboard pie Buy a tooth brush and a change of clothes And then we'd ride

Time to get out there again......still lots to see........ His song 'Sharon' reminds me of the late 70's when the country fairs in Maine still had girly shows in tents and gypsies fortune telling, b4 everything went PC, cleaned up, sanitized, no beer tents, and BORING AS HELL!

I never thought twice about the historic relevance of living on Lee Highway (or at least our little piece of it) in Northern Virginia or that the Lee Highway was more than the route that criss-crossed I-66 between the nation's capital in DC to the Civil War town of Warrenton, VA. But the Lee Highway stretches from New York to San Francisco using the US highway system. "You know you can grow to hate these…little one horse towns With the seamy..movie houses all closed down" Sadly, this is all too common in the country due to so many factors; industry consolidation, interstate highway system, politics, and off-shore production to name a few. But, for some, there is a longing for getting back to the simple life. David talks about how it used to be when the Lee Highway was the major southern thoroughfare between east and west. Most won't ever know about that time or how it used to be except in songs like these.

I didn't know that either, and I spent 12 years living within a couple of miles of Lee Highway in DC, Arlington and Charlottesville.

Hap Parsons Thanks for that. I’m Australian, been a huge Bromberg fan since the 70s, didn’t know the Lee Highway was an actual, well, highway...very interesting to read that little slice of history. (

probably heard David in the seventies at the same Shaboo Inn (Willimantic/Mansfield Conn.) someone else mentioned, after hearing him as accompanist on records by the likes of Patrick Sky and Rosalie Sorrels. A wizard and an inspiration. Wonder if he ever shared a stage with Highwoods String Band (look for their great record of Lee Highway. )

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but the title of this GREAT (one of my all time favs) Album is a Joke...One side he has the (Grateful) Dead as his backing band, and the other side is aLIVE! Ever the jokster, he's a treasure! Go see him live, you won't regret it!

A special THANK YOU TO FRED...I HEAR YOU, MAN. Radio made itself "redundant" by playing too much commercial " but you can't see the video" muzak- I can't express what I want to say- thank you Fred- maybe you understand what I mean- music videos, MTV, - has it's place but when FM - once the commercial free, " underground" music's home and by underground sadly I can no longer use the term for music not suitable for pop airwaves- too long, ( exception being Dylan's, Like a Rolling Stone) X rated lyrics, ie anti-Vietnam war songs- dangerous men like Phil Ochs- I have a migraine which makes my brain fog foggier than that "floating about" in Tom Waits' wonderful song, especially when sung by the iconic, Marianne Faithfull, Strange Weather- so sad several generations have been "robbed" sort of, of part of their culture- genres of music which went into Rock and Rap- I am one of those people who really DOES go from a Medieval Passion Play to Marianne, The Beatles to Bach- that old catch phrase attributed to John Lennon- I can't recall. Israel! Wow! That is cool! I know who Gene Krupa is! I can't wait to put headphones on and "just dig this channel" - in the proverbial sea of conformity, a ship on the horizon- oi vey this is getting worse- THANK YOU FOR BEING A TRUE MUSIC LOVER- if you only listen to one genre children and only several entertainers in it, you aren't a genuine music lover- your loss. Namaste Mr. Dobbs. Wish I had your income so I could "splurge" on a rare Marianne Faithfull E.P- oh well...Namaste from Canada ( are you SERIOUS, SIRIUS?!) -

Odessa to Phoenix, Phoenix to Denver. Denver to Salt Lake 1 Apr 79. Then lumping out furniture. Salt Lake, to Salmon Idaho, then Kalispell Mt. The Colorado Springs. Then to Parker AZ to San Jose. San Jose to SLC. Back to San Jose. Berkeley off the launching ramp on University to Seattle. Helen's (Kaboom) Spokane to Yellowstone. One ride to Harrisburgh. 4 days dodging paving bottlenecks then home to S.C June 80. That goddam Penguin 25th anniversary edition. Well toughened me up I suppose.

Thanks for posting this-I saw him for the first time since 1985(?)at the Tupelo Music Hall up here in New Hampshire last year-great show-but I would have loved to be able to ask him how he managed to get what I think was the Grateful Dead's entire lineup at the time to be HIS sidemen on Wanted Dead or Alive...
