Hellloooo! Yes, I'm still alive and well - better than usual, in fact. My foot is healing up and it looks like I'm going to be left with some permanent aching and swelling, but it hurts less than the cyst that was removed, so I can live with it... at least I hope so.
We have not gone out as much for live music lately (have been cocooned in the house a lot, watching DVDs and such, even during nice weather... for shame!) but will make up for it in about a week when SXSW music kicks in. I have been very busy keeping track of all the day parties and their lineups, sending RSVPs and such, and making decisions soon. Lots of bands I love and some I want to see for the first time. Really going to try and see Dawes, The Lone Bellow, Emmylou Harris with Rodney Crowell, The Zombies (yup... returned from the 60s), Billy Bragg, maybe John Hiatt, maybe Divine Fits, maybe Birds of Chicago, Richard Thompson, The Dunwells, Delta Spirit, John McCauley, Josh Ritter, Alt-J... looking for wonderfulness and hoping our feet and backs hold up.
Someday, we will be too old for this.

Yeah, live while you're young. I just saw recently that Emmylou Harris has a new album out with Rodney Crowell. Looking forward to your review of their concert! The only other name I recognized from your list is Billy Bragg -- a fave of folk festivals here in Canada.
Emmylou is worthy of worship. Really hope to catch her. I have not heard of 90% of the bands playing at all the parties, but love reading the band names. Some are just hilarious.
