Pollstar – Ottmar Liebert Concert Dates
CONCERT SCHEDULE
Fri 04/21/06 – Seattle, WA – The Triple Door
Sat 04/22/06 – Seattle, WA – The Triple Door
Sun 04/23/06 – Redwood City, CA – Fox Theatre

These are the three solo shows I have mentioned before. 45 of solo guitar playing, 45 minutes of talking and then Q&A with the audience. I hope to see you there. You would certainly be brave to go to a show like this, a format that is new territory and unproven, but I also think we can have a lot of fun with it! I envision this format to be something I can do when I take a break from touring with the band. Since I will travel by myself or with just one other person, it will be easier to fly across America just for the weekend and then return to Santa Fe – rather than being on the road for 6 weeks with a couple of busloads of people. I am also excited about the dialog with people and about sharing some of my ideas.

Rommel loves this and invited me – so there I am. I must say I don’t see these social networking sites as being so useful. I mean, they are very good at matching up people with similar tastes and likes and interests. But, most of the really useful and interesting conversations I have had have been with people who DON’T share my tastes, likes and interests.

I haven’t been home since my mother died in 1994. Over the last year the desire to spend a little time in Cologne has grown a lot.

I was checking out the wikipedia entry on Cologne and found my name in very illustrous company. B̦ll Рwhat a fantastic writer! I read many of his books. Udo I have met a few times in L.A. and if there is such a thing as a Cologne-vibe, he has it.

10 100 Creative Commons Christmas Songs | Uwe Hermann

So, it’s Christmas today (or it will be tomorrow, depending on where you live). Wouldn’t it be nice if you had a bunch of freely and legally available Christmas songs you could listen to all day? Burn on CDs and hand over to your relatives? Share with your friends without the fear of being sued to death by big record labels?
Well, here’s a list of 126 songs which are all explicitly released under a Creative Commons license

Left a comment and suggested adding Winter Rose to the list, which he did.
