Michael D Hansen commented on Craig Young's video
Thanks for this Craig ... Love these guys .... and Kings and Queens was my #1 album of 2011. Have you seen them live ?? I did in '08 at 3rd & Lindsley with Kevin Gordon opening for them. A great night it was too, my friend said she thinks…
Michael D Hansen commented on Craig Young's video
Hey Craig .... I just sent you a friend request here at ND and in my lil' message I wrote that KJP is "an inspiration," and I get back here (after taking a peek at your page ... and the "It Makes No Difference" video) and…
Michael D Hansen commented on Tom Weber's video
Tom .... Greetings from Melbourne, AUSTRALIA. Thanks so very much for posting this video. I believe that John Fullbright is a prodigious talent who has the potential to be anything he seeks to be. Having been to The Blue Door some years ago on…
Michael D Hansen commented on Easy Ed's blog post 'the best version of a cover song...ever'
Ed .... Thanks for The Beatnix thing. Not certain that one came from it but an Aussie TV music, talk, variety show some years ago always finished with the featured guest artist doing "Stairway." Possibly the most famous (infamous ??) one…
Michael D Hansen commented on Something Else! Reviews's blog post 'Remembering: Boz Scaggs, "Come On Home"'
Yep .... love that album .... particularly "Love Letters" & "Sick And Tired." So deep in the groove. And I'm with Mary about "Dig."
Michael D Hansen commented on Michaela O'Brien's blog post 'Greg Trooper :: Upside-Down Town (Feb 8) & Tour Dates'
Thanks for posting this Michaela ... "Troop" is a treasure and I did not know about this new release. Just downloaded it and it's playing as I write this. The song "Could Have Been You" just finished and it's a good…
Michael D Hansen commented on Kyla Fairchild's video
Kyla .... Possibly one of the most exquisite songs ever. What a shame that Julie seems to be not well enough to tour or perform in public much. Have seen Buddy play many times and what a whole-hearted, gracious man he is. Julie and Buddy's love…
Michael D Hansen commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'Women in music'
Jeez .. I dunno how to do this .... it's meant to be a link to a video of 'When I Grow Up" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q15PlMFQdMg&feature=related
Michael D Hansen commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'Women in music'
An interesting discussion on the cruise it will be without a doubt .... an just about all bases covered in the responses so far as I can see. My special favorites include Julie Miller, Eilen Jewell, Nanci Griffith and Carloyn Wonderland. I'm…
Michael D Hansen commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'A sidenote on civility, and why we're here'
Grant .... nobody took over that bar. It's just that they now let anyone and everyone in.
Michael D Hansen commented on Grant Alden's blog post 'Jesse Dayton and the vicissitudes of stardom: a mystery'
Dang Grant .... Look what you started here !! And Kim says she hasn't seen such a polarized discussion here for a while. Frankly, the discussion doesn't seem to me to be much polarized at all, just that lots of folks are making the same…
Michael D Hansen commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'Goin to Carolina in my mind...Smoky Mountain ballads, etc.'
How exciting for you this must be ... moving from one side of the continent to the other. Just so happens that I have recently been listening to some stuff by an Asheville duo Trent Wagler & Jay Lapp who collectively are The Steel Wheels. Their…
Michael D Hansen commented on No Depression's blog post 'John Hiatt commenting contest'
This is kinda weird I know, but as far as I know my favorite John Hiatt song doesn't appear on any John Hiatt recording, and I don't know whether John ever played it to an audience. "Train To Birmingham" has almost become a…
Michael D Hansen commented on Kim Ruehl's blog post 'On how I came to the church of jazz...and a little news about My Morning Jacket'
Nice piece Kim .... what IS a calliope ??
Michael D Hansen commented on James G. Carlson's blog post 'Dark Was the Night: The Life and Times of Blind Willie Johnson'
It was Edward GEORGE Smith, 'course it was !!
Michael D Hansen commented on James G. Carlson's blog post 'Dark Was the Night: The Life and Times of Blind Willie Johnson'
Thanks UAG for a terrific piece on a major, major artist. Maybe you are aware of this already, but there's an interesting side story about Johnson's song "God Moves On The Water" concerning the lyrics of the last verse. As we…

James G. Carlson said… - Thank you for the comments on my article on Blind Willie Johnson, and for the additional information. The article is also posted at the Plug In Music Magazine web site: http://www.pluginmusic.com/features.php?page=blindwilliejohnson . It's always nice to meet and communicate with other music lovers, especially those who share similar tastes and thoughts, etc. Texas has given the world some incredible musicians and singer/songwriters, true, but so has Australia. Just to name a few recent ones, I have been listening to a lot of The Barons of Tang, Pete & the Tar Gang, and the Radical Surf Ninjas from Hell on Fire, and Sean K. Preston (this last an Australia native who now resides in Baltimore, Maryland). There are a lot more, as I'm sure you know. And I occasionally cover them at the publications for which I write. Thanks again. And take care.Delete Comment

Thanks so much for the note. It has seriously been a long time :o) I'm not overly familiar with this site yet - especially not any of the interactive stuff - but I'm liking the articles. Great to see you are still following the best music!! Hope all is well down under.
Take Care
