None of those are in California. How can I stalk him? :(

That sounds hard and stuff.

A true stalker would never say such a thing.

I'm happy to hear it. Others have said the same.

That was something that the lovely Mrs. DzM ana]s]and I were talking about on the drive home from the recent show in San Francisco. We were mutually agreeing that one of the things that Wiil's music appeals to, for us, is the perspective of the farmer. Dry is a good example.


I meant to respond to this earlier. The thing about Will that some reviewers just don't get is that he writes/sings about what he knows and sees and lives. I think that comes through especially well in his live performances. I find Dry to be one of his most beautiful songs and is probably the song I most listen to.

(By the way, I enjoy that you refer to your wife as "the lovely Mrs. DzM".)

I agree. After exhaustively listening to the first two releases and his "not-so-official" demos release, I found that Dry instantly became my favorite song of his on the first listen. There's just something about those first opening notes that draws me in. Damn it, gotta go listen to it on the Ipod after thinking about again. I like the 30 second promo video clip of Dry that he recorded for Southern Records too, it's slightly more up tempo than the album track. I have it on my myspace page and my son and I watch it constantly. I hope that Will makes his way a little south of home so that I can take my son to see him sometime soon.

That doesn't even sound like "San Francisco, California." How can I be expected to stalk him?

His record label already stalks him in that way.

I just saw that last night too! Thanks for the post! Hopefully he'll be the headliner. I prefer his longer sets. :wink:

Thanks again for the heads up. Will you be making the journey down the river? It looks like he's playing quite a dates in Iowa too.

I hope that he'll some good merch along with him too. I don't mind throwing a little extra bread his way. I can only buy him so many beers. :wink:

Got to see the man perform last night. Awesome stuff as usual. I'll try to upload a few pics and video clips as soon as I can. Once again, William put on a hell of a show and outperformed the other acts.

I am saddened that neither of these say "San Francisco" at all. :(
