I heard you play the True Believers that Sat. night as I was driving up to Newberry. I got so excited! I saw them at Rockefellas waaaay back and remember it as one of the loudest shows ever. Unfortunately, I lost the signal and missed out on the rest. Honestly, if I had heard Dumptruck, Marti Jones or Zeitgiest, I would have had to pull over and just listen. And don't get me started on my love of Fetchin Bones and Syd Straw. I always enjoy your columns and lists in the Free Times...and am so excited to have found your blog.

Just three days ago I had the opportunity to finally meet Allyson as a grown lady with all her beauty and charm. She reminded me so much of Ted that it brought tears to my eyes. He has SO much to be proud of,and I'll bet he is looking down on us all with love and laughter......

I would often go listen to him play and have one of his albums on tape. I thought his music was terrific and was saddened to learn of his passing. If only there were more Ted Bids.

You're absolutely correct in saying that the "the blog-world is inbred and self-referential", but that's what binds us together, discovering others who share similar interests, and who are willing to take the time to share those interests with others.

They had about a dozen people including a few S&M type mistresses who would have chastity belts sawn off with rotary saws and perform lewd acts on each other, often unsimulated and with nudity onstage. Pyrotechnics galore. LOUD. Anyone?
