Po' Smedley (YES, I am billing myself as such)
Singer/Songwriter
December 15th, 2006
Triple J Saloon
10028 Broad River Rd
Irmo, SC
That's right. After nearly a two year hiatus from having my vocal chords mangled in the spinal fusion, I am daring to take to the spotlight once again.
Now, seeing as how probably none of you are even within driving distance, feel free to send me your tips to put in the tips jar, so you can at least say your money was there. (HA!)
This place is cool, casual, laid back and all that. Just a lil' saloon. Oh, yeah, they have a seven foot,wooden, standing Buddah, so come rub his tummy for luck! (Just his tummy, you freaks)
Very nervous, but looking forward to it. If you DO happen to make it (c'mon...I have openings for 'groupies') introduce yourself so I can mooch a drink!
If you can't make it, here's a little link to some of my music... http://darksmedley.multiply.com/music
Merry Christmas!

I'd come along, but it's just a tad too far away.

| Jimmy is essentially a good guy. He is very moral and not afraid to turn down money for what he feels is right. |
turn down money? Well, I have cut my going price, does that count?
| Jimmy's biggest fault seems to be his habit of "reinventing" himself, |
Who, me?
| Jimmy supports file sharing, and firmly believes that in the future artists will make a modest living by touring because the recording industry will collapse and all music will be free. |
Wouldn't it be nice.

Would like to be there in support but Oz is a bit far off and me Lear's out of action ....pilot refuses to fly cos the cleaner forgot to polish his joystick.
The missus is right beside me and has "I'm The Man In The Moon" playing on her puter right now....not bad, not bad at all.
Well it seems you've another fan, she's just bookmarked the page and has just started d/ling "Big, Big Trouble" for a listen. Must admit, I'm quite impressed, not only are you a great skinner, you got some great music too. BTW, I know all about spinal problems and feel for you and the pain you endured. I was slated for a spinal fusion in my neck, but the medicos later decided it wasn't a viable option. Still, fusion is occurring due to some congenital thing, and now I have no discs between six neck vertabrae, four in the lower lumbar region. Now it's bone on bone - crunch, crunch, grind, grind - and I'll remain in discomfort and pain until the fusion process is complete. Trouble is, no sooner does one joint become bearable, another starts to break down and the process begins again.
Oh well, I've still got my mind...er, well sort of

Can you record some of the show? I'd love to watch it on the web later!

BTW, I have a really good friend who own's a small record store who I reckon would really be interested in listening to you'r stuff as well, so if it is ok with you I'll give him the link to you're site cos I'm sure he'd be impressed. If it is ok and you hear from a guy called Chris at Foggy Mountain Music Launceston Tasmania Australia, that will be him.

I hear ya, brother. My doc says between my neck and bottom 2 vertebrate, I have the back of an 18 year old...everything else is gone to the dogs.
| you got some great music too. |
Thanks a lot.

| Wot the @*%# have you done to my missus? Now I can't get her off that site of yours |
My question is...How did you end up with a woman of such high quality and taste?

It's okay and if I do, I will probably think it's your husband having me on and call him a bunch of names. lol.

Don't think my PC can do the video thing. Have to check. I will be taking pics...especially of my name on the sign outside along the road. I figure, people will come just to see what the hell a 'Po' Smedley' is. lol.
Thanks loads to the rest of you for all the well wishes. I need 'em. I'm nervous cause it's been so long. There may be a guitar burning after the show, so bring your marshmallows. lol.

It wouldn't be me calling to yank yer chain...Chris is a real top bloke with many, many interests in music, and I'll tell you for 100% sure, he will like your stuff a lot and give it the thumbs up....for sure. I've been getting my music from Chris (Foggy Mountain Music) for about 6 years now, and I'm so sure of his opinion cos we spend hours discussing and listening to all kinds...and I know what he likes.
Besides, I'm too suitably impressed with your music to be prank calling. IF I called (international rates most likely being the deterrent) I'd be doing so to ask how it all went....to offer some belated applause, due to my unavoidable absence on the night.
I'd love to be there, but seeing as I can't be, all the best, just go have a great time and enjoy yourself.
Oh, and before I go.....
| How did you end up with a woman of such high quality and taste? |
Cos I have immaculate taste and know what's good for me....had I not ended up with her, I'd be only a "Quarter of a Man" (David Lindley)
