Stony Man is (are? am? gonna be?) once again giving a free follow up performance in Fredericksburg-
This time it’s gonna be Sunday DECEMBER 6, at Hyperion Espresso (the Titan of Coffee). From 4PM till 5PM. Free.
Its one hour only, so anyone can stand that.
We expect to see you all there. Really. All of you. And this time I mean it.
Oh, and did I mention that its free? Well it is.

So, no more of those worn out excuses (’Have to wash my hair’,'Held captive in Spotsy by a bunch of Shining Path rebel insurgent paramilitary-types’, ‘I’ve fallen and I can’t get up’, ‘dingoes ate my car keys’, ‘My flight from Dubrovnik was delayed and I missed my connection at Heathrow’, ‘Sorry, I’ve got to measure my cat’…….

And after that show, we’ll be back at Downtown Fredericksburg’s First Nite extravaganza-celebration-shindig.
We’ll be at the Pickers Supply concert hall, sharing the evening with our pals Laurie Rose Griffith and Peter Mealy. You all better be there, too.

Here’s a couple more album covers that we considered, but the folks in the legal department of StonyMan Int’l had some reservations…

So, I finally have something to post about music.

So here’s the deal with the new Stony Man cd.

It’s called “Turn Your Radio On”, and it has ten tunes great tunes on it.

Ten of the best songs in the world.

Ten really ,really , really great songs.

Ten of ‘em.

It was going to have more, but we had a deadline to meet.

You know how it is.

Anyway,it’s gonna be for sale soon at CD Baby. You can get copies there, or you can e-mail us at kentipp@cox.net.

Or you can just hang out on some sleazy street corner, and when you see some sketchy-looking hoodlum types, you can try this sort of approach:

You: Psst, hey buddy! Over here!

Sketchy-looking hoodlum type: Excuse me?

You: Yea, you! C’mere! Whatdja think, I’m talkin to myself here? C’mon, c’mon, get over here!

Sketchy-looking hoodlum type: Yes, very well then, how may I help you? I’m in a bit of a rush, you see.

You (voice lowers): I’m lookin’ for, ummm, I want to get, errr, I wanna score the new cd

Sketchy-looking hoodlum type: Come again?

You: Hold it down, hold it down! You want everybody on the whole block to hear us?

Sketchy-looking hoodlum type: I’m sorry, hear what, exactly? I can barely understand you at you’re your voice is muffled by your scarf! Open your coat, let me see your face, here, let’s have a look at you …(reaches for your collar) Speak up, man!

You (wrestling away): I just wanna get… the .. new ,,,CD!

Sketchy-looking hoodlum type: New CD? You mean the new Stony Man CD? Good Heavens, all you need do is ask! Everyone wants the new Stony Man cd! Now stop all this cloak and dagger nonsense? Are you actually wearing a ski mask under there? For pity’s sake, man, it’s like springtime out here! Now, if you’d like to buy the new Stony Man cd, all you need to do is…….
