I had a very weird weekend of music. Let's start with the strange little band playing at Barley and Hops. I don't know who they were because they never really said. They were quite terrible and they covered a bunch of classic rock songs like:

After that I really spent a lot of time listening to the most recent John Hiatt CD as well as some Nick Lowe.

Rob Thomas - Little Wonder
