The Kansas City Star “There’s (listening) gold in these discs”
January 18th, 2007 at 7:04pmThey may not be chartbusters, but these soon-to-come CDs are sound winners.
Elana James, “Elana James” (Snarf Records)
Around here, folks know her as Elana Fremerman, the fiddler in the now-defunct Hot Club of Cowtown. When that band imploded unexpectedly, she toured with Dylan for a while, contemplated a future outside music, then gathered some friends and ringers in Austin – including Johnny Gimble on fiddle/mandolin – and made this appealing record. The 13 songs include several originals and covers of Dylan (“One More Night”) and Duke Ellington/Billy Strayhorn (“I Don’t Mind”). The fiddle is still her forte, but her songwriting and vocals are gaining on it rapidly. (Feb. 27)
Getting packed up to head to Elko, Nevada for the 38th Annual National Cowboy Poetry Gathering next week. Can't wait! Hot Club of Cowtown plays Feb 2 - 4. Full schedule here:

I see the sneaky little horse half hidden as he hitches a ride on the back of another horse.
Enjoy!
Gorgeous!
Cowboy Poetry is really cool. But you guys are the coolest
Did you decide to keep the Elvis songs in the 2nd act ?
That's a clever photo to go along with your "getting packed up", Elana. Do you have your fiddle in that pack somewhere?
Amazing event. I got to attend one year
Fond memories of playing it with y’all one year
That's a fantastic shot, my friend!
Terrific! Best of luck on great shows!
Great to see you in Berkeley!
Did your Nebraska Or Kansas City gigs get rescheduled yet? We have missed your shows since leaving Texas 6 years as go. Too long!
Can’t wait!!
Living the life.
Super cool!!
Have fun friend
I would love to go there! Enjoy! Your blessed to get to go!
I’ll miss you this year. Had my tickets. Broke my arm so I’m grounded. It will be a great show.
Have a wonderful time
Damn you're cool. Western swing, Russian folk tunes, horses, poetry, big dog, Buddhism, outdoors and always a positive outlook. 👍🙏
❤️Most people have heard of Koko, the gorilla who could speak about 1000 words in Sign Language, and understand about 2000 in English. What most people don’t know, however, is that Koko was an avid Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood fan. When Fred Rogers took a trip out to meet Koko for his show, not only did she immediately wrap her arms around him and embrace him, she did what she’d always seen him do onscreen: she proceeded to take his shoes off.

I saw Mr Rodgers once in NYC at a play on Broadway. He was in the audience like me.

I love the gorillas. Just don't Google their diet.

"Workin' on the rail-road sleeping on the ground, Eatin' saltine crackers 10 cents a pound..."
Nice photo of the two of you
Break a leg! I'm stuck here in Portland, dang job... My apartment allows dogs, though, if Lupa is traveling through. 😉
Hope you guys come back to Portland OR next year :)
