Tempted


Last Sunday Night, I was driving home listening to Little Steven's Underground Garage. It is a radio program that has been coming on 93.7 fm for the past several years. I think it runs from 8 to 10pm.

Little Steven is in Bruce Springsteens Band and also plays "Sal" on the Supranos.

He is one of my favorite characters on that show & also one of the characters that killed "Big Pussy". It was one of the best scenes ever on that show (Except for the one where Christopher killed the guy in the butcher shop and all the pig's heads were looking at him,) They took Big Pussy out on Tony's boat and Sal, Tony, & a couple other dudes lined up in a row facing Big P & he knew he was about to get done. He started crying a little and asked them not to shoot his face. Then they all pulled out thier guns and started shooting, Maybe about 40 or 50 shots total. They camera shot they used was from the view of Big P & it almost looked like a scene from Dick Tracy. With his hair and make-up Sal looked like a Comic Book Character. The expression on his face was priceless.

If you want to check out his show, Here is the website:

I think they have some archived shows to listen to. Check it out of you like cool music. He plays Garage band, Rockabilly & other cool stuff.

One of the songs he played last Sunday was from Marty Stuart, The Country (&Bluegrass) singer/musician. It is called "Tempted" and sounded like a Buddy Holly tune.

It was specifially listening after that to hear who did the song and was surprised when he said marty Stuart.

I had seen him on TV playing mandolin several times and always liked what he did.


Well,


Thats my report for now.


Rock On!

Hi Mr. Twyman! This comment has nothing to do with your post, so forgive my intrusion...but I had to tell you that my husband and I were delighted to run into you down at Gravity on the Strand yesterday... Not only are you quite a talented musician, but also something about what you do is inherently happy. I hope that we get to see (and listen) to you again soon.

Best wishes to you and yours!
