Redneck Rumble rocked!

Pics will be here later today/tomorrow

Almost forgot about Fri night...

Lisa and I went to see the Westbound Rangers, Crowfield and The Delta Saints at Exit/In Friday night. The Saints released their new EP "Bird Called Angola" that night and tore it up in Nashville. The Westbound Rangers are a bluegrass band. Crowfield was rock and reminded me of Counting Crows. If you get a chance to see any of these bands, I suggest you do so.

The Delta Saints

I took a LOT of pics, somewhere in the neighborhood of 120 or so, so I'll just post a couple.

Bike stuff...YAY!

Unfortunately I didn't get near as much done as I expected this weekend. I'm short one cylinder base gasket. :(  I really wanted to get the cylinders on today. Oh well, my guy will send me the base gasket and I'll get some more done after work.

I did, however, get my tappet blocks without breaking the ears off! That's always a good thing.

My motor looks so alone over there by itself.

I also got this Biltwell 4130 Chromoly Seat Hinge from Lowbrow Customs. It fits my frame perfectly. Now I just have to tack-weld it on there so I can take it to someone and get it TIG welded on. I wouldn't trust my welding to get me down the driveway right now. :)

750 kit...

Today I checked the piston ring gap for the 750 kit I'm installing on my 69 Triumph. I only had to file one ring a little bit.

Lisa will be busy this weekend so I'll wile away in the garage. Hoping I can at least get the cylinders and head on. We'll see though.

Wanda Jackson at Mercy Lounge, Nashville

Wanda "Queen of Rockabilly" Jackson performed last night at Mercy Lounge after receiving a Lifetime Achievement award during the Americana Music Festival.  Dale Watson opened and the Dex Romweber Duo closed. We saw Dale but left before the Dex Romweber Duo.  We aren't country fans at all but I do respect that it is rock and roll's roots. We wouldn't be were we are today without country/bluegrass/blues etc to kick it all off.

I also saw Jack White of the White Stripes at the bar, but I didn't bother him. He produced Wanda's new single.


Dale Watson

Wanda Jackson
At 73 his lady still kills. She performed some songs I knew "Fujiyama Mama, Funnel of Love and and Lets Have a Party", some I didn't "Right or Wrong, Riot in Cell Block #9" and even a gospel song "I Saw the Light". Then she did "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin On" for an encore

Trying out a new template...

I like it. It's called Steampunk from Blogger Templates.

Tell me what you think.

Mon night at the Muse

Dirty Dee and the Sweaty Meat - We missed these guys Sat night cause Rich will be late to his own funeral :)

Some kind of roundy-round the bass player got going

Cutthroat Shamrock - these guys kill - they're a blend of bluegrassy Celtic punk

The Three Bad Jacks - awesome rockabilly band out of Los Angeles
