I just came back from seeing Sam perform live at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood. I wrote about it here: http://thepromiselive.blogspot.com/2010/04/sam-phillips-at-hotel-cafe.html

Sorry for the short post... Way too much to do... but wanted to share this with you all.

Hey Bruce, (and everyone!)

I wish I had known about this a little in advance. I would have loved
to have been there! Take Sam some chocolate mint cookies for me next
time! :)

Life has been super busy for me lately. I really need to upload some
of the amazing Sam archival material a few wonderful folks have sent
me over the last few months. There are literally hours of Sam
recordings and concerts I have to share with some of you because it's
amazing stuff. Also, I have been sent the original A&M/Horizon Press
Release for "The Turning" that is a truly fascinating read!

I'm trying to get a massage therapy studio up and running and I have a
vacation coming up. So, life is full but good.

Hope everyone is enjoying their lives and The Long Play. I'm deff
going to give The Long Play project thus far an in-depth analysis on
my pop culture blog very soon.

Peace + Music,
Garrett :v)

P.S. I saw that unauthorized compilation from Raven Records in
Australia all over London last month. Bruce, you need to tell her that
it's all over Europe next time you see her. I have seen it in at least
4 countries now over there and knowing she's not making a dime off it
really makes me mad.

Hi all,

I'm a lurker and don't post much, but I was happy to open my L.A.
Times on Sunday and find this article featuring Sam. So thought I'd
come out of hiding and share. There's a video on the web page as well.
Enjoy!

That was a great article and a cool video. You all should check it out, if you haven't already. 

Loving the new/old music from "Old Tin Pan", Sam's new EP. It is so nice to finally have a studio version of "When You're Down".

Hey Garrett,

This group has gotten really quiet. Actually it seems music groups in general have gotten real quiet over the last few years. I think the newer social networks are eating up online time. Oh well. 

Sounds like some great stuff that you have Garrett. Hope to hear it someday. Good luck with your studio. 

Someone from Sam's camp is on this list (I don't know who though), so I'm sure she has been told about the Raven Records CD. Not a whole lot that can be done these days. 

Anyone hoping for maybe a little summer performance from Sam better not hold their breath. This is just my opinion but, with Jay and Jennifer (not to mention Patrick) touring with Ray LaMontagne this summer, the only way she would probably perform is with Eric and/or the Section Quartet. It sure doesn't seem probable to me. But you never know. 

Bruce
