I love Drew Emmitt! I think he was one of the key ingredients to Leftover Salmon. My favorite songs that they played were the ones that he sang. In addition to being a great singer, he’s a killer mandolin picker. I wrote about Vince Herman’s post Leftover Salmon carreer here and I’m happy to see his former band mate is also alive and kickin. I found a killer Drew Emmitt band show in the archive that I’d like to share:

Spring time has found me outdoors and unglued me from the computer. A good break from the mouse and keyboard could do anybody some good. Before you pry your eyes off the monitor, check out these luscious mp3s outtakes from Bob Dylan’s Freewheelin sessions, a must listen for any Dylan fan. Thanks Perm and Skullet!

If you haven’t checked out Martin Scorsese’s documentary on Bob Dylan, No Direction Home then you owe it to yourself watch it too. What an amazing life Dylan has lived.
