Gretchen and I are leaving tomorrow for London, and the start of our next UK tour; the all request, "WITHOUT A NET UK Tour 2010". We've had to go back and relearn a lot of songs that have been requested in the last few months that we haven't been playing lately. We changed some arrangements to mix things up a bit, and in the process re-claimed some of the older songs that needed updating. We put together the walk-in music for the tour this morning. It's one of our favorite things about touring. We get to showcase some things we've been listening to lately, as well as some old favorites. This list is a little different. If you'll notice, there's a lot a songs about rain. We put them on the list to honor the victims of the biggest flood in our town's history. Many people were affected by this flood, and some of our town's landmarks sustained serious damage. There's also a Big Star song on the list, "The Ballad of El Goodo"; in memory of our friend and my Box Tops bandmate Alex Chilton, who passed away much too young on St. Patrick's Day this year, and who is the writer and singer of this beautiful song. So here's the list, and the tour dates are below it. Hope you can make it out to see us. It's always the highlight of our year.
