Devon, you have no idea the trouble you have caused me over the years. Since hearing your most excellent Keep Your Silver Shined album back in 2006, I have been a slave to your music. I have written about it and promoted it and played it in the shower. I have taken your music for long romantic drives and have used it as background music for romantic dinners. I have listened to it, all of it, enough to have made it part of my DNA and I have even adopted the Smokey Mountains, though mountains they hardly seem to a guy who grew up at the base of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon. That old Virginia block? My heart broke when you deserted it. You had me convinced that you would never leave the Blue Ridge. I mean, you sang about it!

I am less than a month away from seeing, barring act of God or congress (small ‘c’ intentional), No Small Children rock Portland (or Seattle) and, old as I am, it is getting hard to contain myself. They will supposedly be playing Slabtown April 5th, though I do not see it listed on that venue’s site schedule, so I am keeping my options open for a long drive. Would I miss it? Only by the act mentioned beforehand.
