Here’s an amazing home video of Bruce Springsteen picking up a guitar on some sidewalk somewhere.

The Huh, official band of the Savannah Ave Homeowners Association, has been heard again.

Here’s a little evidence from the last practice session: .mp3s.

Little Italy’s only Polish bar is the gathering place for songwriters on Tuesdays. I hadn’t been there for several years, and a lot of the faces, names and sounds have changed but the scene is still vibrant.

One of the highlights was a fella who played a song about wanting to be your songwriter. Great tune. Soulful playing. Dave MacKenzie’s tunes were well recieved. And Johannes Ernharth, the man responsible for bringing me back to the BBT whipped out a bunch of interesting new tunes.

I too had a few songs that hadn’t played from a stage yet (marked by *). The list went like this:

Doorman* (mg)
Come Inside (mg)
Roll Away* (mg)
Wichita Lineman* (Webb)
Lemmings (mg)
Bessie Smith (Danko/Robertson)

It was great to be back at the bar perched over the gateway to Pittsburgh’s east end; one of the finest collection of pre-WWII urban neighborhoods found anywhere. More on that later.

Snow flurries.
33 degrees.
Breezy, with a west wind around 23 mph.

Sometimes it Snows in April by Prince is certainly worth a listen.
