so here's this morning's list. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING
As you may know, at my shows, instead of walking around begging for people's email addresses, I leave business cards and different colors markers so that people can leave a note or a drawing or a message. I have collated some of the best of them so far in an album - you need to check it out!

get inspired for the next time you see me live or even get inspired and email your drawings/messages to me! dannrussomusic@aol.com
peace,
Dann
so it occurs to me that if people are interested in checking out the website, there isn't always an updated schedule - especially of new ONLINE shows. You know, the kind that you can do whatever it is you're doing around the house and still listen in and send requests.
SO
I shall start posting them!
this week:
Wednesday Sept. 8th - 9pm est/6pm pacific - SL Show - Hotel Chelsea
Thursday Sept 9th - 8:30pm est/5:30 pm pacific - SL Show - Hummingbird Cafe
Friday Sept 10th - 10pm est/7pm pacific - SL Show - CoCo's
Saturday Sept 11th - block party show helping out "Box of Records" around 4pm in Roslindale, MA.
as always, more information, including where to click to listen, can be found at http://www.facebook.com/dannrussomusic
peace, Dann
1. you may know I'm a man of many (ok, like 4) talents. One (I hope) is writing. so I'm asking you to do me a huge favor. go to this site: http://bourdainmediumraw.com/essays/view/1340 where my essay is ranked 190th of 1500 and read it and vote for me (just click on the FB logo)
2. tomorrow (Friday) night I have this awesome get interviewed/play music thing in Second Life - you should totally check it out and learn everything you wanted to know and more about me! If you aren't on SL, I'll post the link at www.facebook.com/dannrussomusic

SAT night at SLCC '10 was Café en San Juan; No Pain; Fantasy; Cat's in the Cradle (Harry Chapin cover); Fortunes, Forecasts, and Lucky Charms...whew! and thanks!
SLCC was phenomenally fun - and I even had Hippie Bowman and Ed Lowell sitting in to play!
just added a show Friday night! http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=145989938747280&index=1 East Boston, MA.
so it appears that the blog Americana Daily picked up my video! kinda awesome. http://www.americanadaily.com/2010/07/dann-russo-waiting-for-dawn.html check out their other links to some damn good musicians...but it leads me to the next question. WHAT SONG TO DO NEXT? any ideas?
I'm thinking either...Cafe en San Juan; Fortunes, Forecasts & Lucky Charms; Parking Lot Kings; or Her Majesty Cry...tell me your opinion!
I think of it as using "naptime" usefully.
I took my first attempt at using iMovie and setting it up in my basement (aka "Broken Strings Studio") and seeing what happened.
As an actual review, I think I could have placed the computer better and maybe played with the sound a little more...but as a raw first try, I'm impressed with myself!
The song is "Waiting For The Dawn"
the video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoqD-5JqcdI
I think it's cool.
peace.
so with all this hype this individual basically took over basketball. I haven't seen this kind of narcissistic behavior since Narcissus himself. And I am not happy with ESPN catering to his ridiculous whim. And I think the Knicks will finish better than the Heat this upcoming year. :-)
damn fine way to start sunday morning. the set list: Little Lion Man (Mumford & Sons cover), Dreaming Without You, Year, Run Out of Reach, EAB, I Don't Want To Be (Gavin DeGraw cover), Fortunes, Forecasts, And Lucky Charms, Yellow (Coldplay cover), Ruby Red Hair, Believe, The Fly (U2 cover), Changes, Don't Say That, Black Sails.

so, second life totally cut out with three songs left in my set. So, if you were listening on iTunes or winamp you were all set. Second Life, however, missed the last three songs. Which means you'll just have to come back and ask me to play them for you! (I totally will, too). Here's the setlist: Don’t say that; Dreaming without you; Falling slowly (Glen Hansard cover); Frank advice; Parking lot kings; Lessons learned; On the floor; Black (Pearl Jam cover); Year; Capture my heart
brushing away the cobwebs
getting everything back in working order
it's been almost two weeks since my last show! (and it seems like months) but I think it turned out ok...
thank you to Lisa Hughes for setting me up and Virginia Gallino for making me sound good.
and the set list: Dice; Fortunes, Forecasts and lucky charms; Did you ever have; Ruby red hair; Parking lot kings; It seems just like a dream (what a day); Mona; No Pain; I’m goin’ down (Bruce Springsteen cover); St Christopher medal; Her Majesty cry; Dreaming without you; Yellow (Coldplay cover); Believe
