The Winter Adventure

Hey party people...
I've set up another blog... called Circle of Songs.
Concept: 4 dudes...(but anyone is welcome to join). One picks a tune that everyone else has to learn within a couple weeks and then post their version of it...
So I kicked off the first tune... since I was the genius who thought of this.... I went with the classic Band tune.. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down...
If you care to tune in to the Circle... here is the link....

Song Of The Week

Gonna try this...
The song of the week via YouTube...

This week... The Avett Bros rockin' St. Josephs in a FREAKIN' gondola in Jackson Hole, WY... who does that??? The Avett bros... that's who... love the tune too...
Anyway... check it...

Official Tomten Website.... WHAT??

Hey folks... I've been extremely lazy 'bout the blog... mostly cuz we've been doin' a whole lot of nothing exciting... any my dumb dog chewed up my camera cord and I haven't gotten a new one yet... keep forgetting...

BUT....

I do have a small tidbit of news... I've worked up a dingwopped website for Tomten.... I've got lots of goodies on there... the best of which is a tune from each artist that played that night.... well, except Sid because I didn't have a picture.... don't worry Sid... you'll be on there... someday this cold winter....

Anyway... here is where you can find the site.... http://www.tomten.x10hosting.com/

Check it out and let me know what you think... and if you think it's horseshit, I want to know that too.... you won't hurt my feelings....
Suggestions, comments, questions... I'd love to hear em.

Ciao.
*UPDATE* I opened the site at work and I was greeted to all the tunes playing at once... now if I wasn't at work but at home with a few dingers in me, I would have thought the convergence was something special... but it really wasn't.
So, if you have the same problem I had... just go in to the Tomten Sights and Sounds tab and you'll have to pause all the tunes... not sure why that is happening.. probably has something to do with the fact its FREE WEB HOSTING! DOINK!

Things have changed

Hey folks... another Dylan tune... this guy has done tons of stuff in the last 15 years that is OUTSTANDING in my opinion... not the folksy 60's Dylan but some nice groove/blues stuff... anyway... my attempt at "Things Have Changed".....
(oh, I only have like 1m 40sec of vid on my cheap shit camera... so that's why I don't torture you with any more of the stuff!)
Enjoy... or hit that little X in the upper right hand corner....

The Girl From the Red River Shore

Bob Dylan Tune from "Tell Tale Signs"... this tune was one that didn't make it on his Time Out of Mind album... one of my favorites!... Anyway, check out the real version... I don't even come close to doing it justice... not even a little... but I dig it enough to post it... sorry for the low lighting... should do these things in the daylight.... anyway..... Chad... Sid.... Jerry..... anyone... your turn......

BOOYAH Mega Post

Hey there blogger-people...
Had some good times with the big Booyah Bocce Blowout over the weekend...
Some pics....

The Booyah getting served....

Sid wondering "Am I actually drinking Hamms and Baltz??
The BOOYAH! Apple Pie I made.... yeah, I made it... thats right... and it was GOOOOOOOOD!
Carrie and Gabbie with the BOOYAH pie....

Booyah cooking over the fire...
DellMarie pitching a Bocce ball... We wasted the Sid and Gabriel/Dominic team.... losers. Me trying to determine exactly what kind of fish was on the Schmidt can... we figured it was a rainbow/brown trout mix.

Sid and Carrie showing off their BLATZ!
A night shot of the long-lasters...

What a time! I have to say it was great! BOOYAH! It was more about the experience than the eats... but it was all a good time. And for the record... Hamms was the hit... a really good beer to be sure... don't be ashamed... go get yourself a 30-pack of Hamms and try it out... you won't be disappointed.
Anyway... here's a big BOOYAH to Larry, Chester and Noel!
Dingwop!

Big Boohya Bocce Blowout Pushed Back

If, by chance, anyone who read this and made plans to attend the big Boohya party... we've pushed it back to October 24th and it will be held at the Umpierre's shack in Hermantown-town.
It might be 33 degrees out and snowing but hey that will just make it more of a BLOWOUT! I think.

Anyway... what choo think bout this one...
Hey Chad... look for a tune this weekend sometime... I hope... maybe... probably.... we'll see.
