Emment Swimming

Anyone going?
 
 I'm going primarily to enjoy the vastly talented Don Dixon, and his merry band of equally talented singer/songwriters/musicians.  Many of my favorite records have been produced, engineered or included songs written by Dixon.

I'd go see a Don Dixon show, but I'm gonna pass on this one.

At Ramshead
 
 Sun. Jan. 25:  DON DIXON, ROBERT CRENSHAW,
 JAMIE HOOVER & BILL LLOYD,
  for more than 2 decades these four men have been
 collaborating with various artists making contributions
 to Pop Music. Now they have joined forces to play
 together & promote their various solo efforts !
 Bill Lloyd (of Foster & Lloyd),
 Robert Crenshaw (Marshall Crenshaw's brother)
 Jamie Hoover (Spongetones)
 Don Dixon (of Marti Jones & Don Dixon)

I'm biased because they're one of my favorite groups, but emmet's still great.  They're doing new material as well as their "classics".  And Don's been known to guest on a couple of their songs, too.

Wowie Zowie did Dixon, Hoover, Crenshaw and Lloyd turn in a wonderful set last night.  Selfishly I wished they had done more of Dixon's material, as I know it the best.  But when you have three other top notch songwriters on stage it's only fair to do it round robin.  A friend was telling me that the setlist has been changing nightly on this tour.
 
 The evening closed out with the playing of "Praying Mantis" Dixon signature tune, the amassed faithful were grooving and grinning...
