John Valby--that's it! It takes a while now, but eventually my brain kicks in. He's been around a long time, so you probably already know of him, but... Okay, looking at his web page, he doesn't look as edgy as this Dan Bern sounds, but hey, I'm trying to contribute something here... http://johnvalby.com/
Yeah, I've heard of John Valby. "Dr. Dirty" they used to call him, and I think that Scott E. from Geneseo was a fan.
Dan Bern can be offensive, too, but in a different way. He seems to have a lot of depth, and his rude stuff is more of the young, smarty pants variety. His roots are more in folk than in vaudville. I've been listening to two of his discs really a lot since picking them up, and I must say that I am completely impressed. He has a Web site as well: danbern.com.
I am quite thankful to Laura and Sweet Meat for introducing be to Bernstein. Patty, you'd like him a lot, since you know what's going on in the world.
" ou know what's going on in the world..." That's always the nicest compliment coming from you, Jeff!
I'm glad you're enjoying Dan Bern's stuff... Sweet Meat and Laura corner the market on knowing what's going on in the world, don't they? Plus, they're a cute couple
Guess what? I bought another Dan Bern today. Paid full price this time, too. So I guess that you could say I've officially been "BERNed" by Sweet Meat and Dr. Laura.
Work has been insane, so it's cool to have good, fresh stuff running through the headphones.
Still figuring out what's going on in the world,
