Not just wasting time.
Oh you know I'm not that way inclined."

Leopold and his Fiction
This duo out of San Francisco has an awesome sound that rocks Oz!
If you can imagine the Drive-By Truckers smothered in White Stripes moxie with a dash of Robert Plant...Now that's an interesting rock-and roll recipe.
LAHF offer samples of their songs with info and reviews. Good stuff!
Leopold and His Fiction:-->"Go On Have My Way" off LAHF.
Mieka Pauley
...born in Massachusetts and raised in the heat of Florida and the Colorado cold spots. But she has been everywhere...her and her guitar performing at every opportunity.
Writing like a female Jackson Browne, Mieka delivers her lyrics in a warm, likeable voice. And her lyrics...Oz!
"I will not wait for what the world may not create..I 'll take fate day by day." Good stuff!

Ill Lillies
This band hails from Cleveland and has developed a sound that is reminiscent, to my ears, of the great Arthur Lee band...Love.
With a mixture of pop and acoustical psychedelia ...there is a pleasant familiarity to Ill Lillies sound.
They obviously want to sell as many cds, as possible...but with a fresh admission that all ears may listen for free. They offer many mp3s to sample on their sight and are nearly finished with their follow-up album. Good stuff!
Ill Lillies:-->"Mardelina" off Greatest Hits Vol. 1
Well, that's my introduction to some deserving musicians this week.
With the plethora of indie music that abounds...I encourage all of us...not to become...jaded...as we listen to new artists who are doing what many of us only dream about.
As one of my favorite songwriters, Steve Forbert, waxed in a song..."At least the ones you may be putting down....at least got up to have a go!"
Oh yea...I won best acting award 2007 Newman U.
