Beta Pi Blog, Vol.2007, No.08 - Van Sayler sails to Nashburg!



Beta Pi:


VAN SAYLER SAILS TO NASHBURG

: The great thing about hooking up this blog - all these great guys eventually come back to Nashville, and I have the honor of reconnecting. Van Sayler e-mailed me, and gave me a heads-up that he’ll be coming through Nashville on January 30th. He and will probably link up a Starbuck. Van has volunteered to spear-head the effort to get Class-o-77 Tiks to come to VU Homecoming/Reunion ‘07. Check out Van’s e-mail address directory, click on the link. There are some greats from ‘77 I hope will be returning - Mark "Lurch" Hektner, Steve Cummings, Mark "Marlon" McGann, Bill Price, George "M-Link" Ford, these guys are on Van’s hit list. Van, looking forward to seeing you on the 30th.

MUSIC REVIEWS FROM THE UIS NETHERWORLD:

Artist: JAZZ IS DEAD, CD Title: "Blue Light Rain" - by Pierce Hodnette.

Here's the scenario: Instrumental versions of Grateful Dead songs performed by killer players. Sounds lame? It's not. Guitarist Jimmy Herring, Drummer Billy Cobham, Keyboards T. Lavitz, Bass Alphonso Johnson. Collectively these guys have played with Allman Brothers, Dixie Dregs,
Mahavishnu Orchestra, Weather Report. Do yourself a favor, obtain the disc and digest it. 'Nuff said. Remember when the Grateful Dead played outside at Vanderbilt in 1973? There were hippies in the trees.

Respectfully, Pierce Hodnette
