My Murse Is Famous

I saw the Mike Doughty Band last night at Smalls.

It was a fantastic show. Scrap Facts. Face calls. G'n'R. Chuck. Old school Hip Hop.

Pete McNeal, 'The Man of Feel' as Doughy has so dubbed him, has got to be the tightest drummer I've heard in a long time. I've definitely only heard a few drummers who not only play well, but play well enough into the songs that to hear the song without the drums would be a travesty.

Scrap maybe the funniest person I've never met. He stands off center and in the backish playing the upright with swiss watch like precision. All the while he adorns a smirk on his face that makes you feel he is aware of something you aren't. I want to know what Scrap is thinking.

Handsome Dan has the most amazing sound. I totally dug his Face call. And I definitely want to know what keyboard he was using for it. Dan also has a look to him as he plays. Mostly with his mouth open.

Doughty signed my Murse. You are a very nice man Mr. Doughty. I enjoy all of your music as well as personal stylings.
