Kevin Welch and Music Fog have been playing proverbial footsy for a while. Not to say that we haven't had the pleasure, as he did grace our Threadgill's stage last year for one song. But there have been so many other times we were in the same space, but just couldn't get together for this or that reason. And you know, Mr. Welch is much in demand. He has this great welcoming aura, it makes you want to be around him. And what with Music Fog having done video of his kids, with son Dustin in Steamboat, and daughter Savannah with The Trishas in various places, well it was just Kevin's time.
When he got on the bus, he apologized for the songs being so mournful. He says that his forthcoming CD will all be like that. We did our best to break the mood in between songs. Sadness notwithstanding, we are so glad to have had him. Oh man, this is how it's done. It is personal, writing is. At least when it is at its best.
We're honored to debut "Andaman Sea" here on Music Fog.
