Spring has become summer here in Rhode Island and nothing makes the Boudin
Barndance happier than a hotter than hell studio. A full agenda on this
evening’s program. Two weeks ago we did a special on Chris Gaffney to drum
up support for his battle against liver cancer. Tonight (and a scant two
weeks later), we memorialized him. Gaff’s music has been a regular part of
the Barndance going almost all the way back to the beginning in 1987. Life
can suck at times, especially times like this. Smoke ’em while ya got ’em,
folks. I’m thinkin’ Gaff did just that. We had a live band in the studio
during the last hour of the program. Featured was Providence-based band The
‘mericans who open for Mark Olson at The Hi Hat in Providence on Tuesday
evening. Fronted by Chris Daltrey who was an integral part of Providence
band Purple Ivy Shadows not all that long ago, the two releases from The
‘mericans are worth seeking out. First time spins went out this evening to
new releases from Kris Delmhorst and The Waifs. Oh yeah, picked up a few
45s (Joe Ely from 1981, Dashboard Saviors on burgundy vinyl, and a 1958
7-incher from Johnny Otis) on Record Store Day last Saturday and made sure
to work them into tonight’s program. Buttshaker of the week???? Dave
