Roger Ross Williams’ “God Loves Uganda” on Jon Stewart’s “The Daily Show”
Roger Ross Williams – God Loves Uganda @ Ashland Independent Film Festival 2013
I’m always at least a day behind in watching The Daily Show, but thanks to my DVR, I don’t have to watch it with commercials. Last night’s show (1/13/14) featured Roger Ross Williams who was at last year’s Ashland Independent Film Festival.
I volunteered to take photos of his Q&A session with the Ashland Armory audience so it was kind of fun to see a familiar face on national TV.

BTW, the 2014 Ashland Independent Film Festival is coming up in early April.

moe. played in Ashland last night for the first time. It was my first time seeing them, but I met a guy in the audience from New York who was at his 61st moe. concert!

Built to Spill @ Ashland Armory
A week ago I had never even heard of “Built to Spill”. A friend said they may be worth checking out at the Ashland Armory last night so I listened to them constantly for the past few days and became a quick fan.
The show was really good, and I’m paying the price for that goodness today. 😉 Tomorrow I’ll post another picture and a video. If you like Neil Young and/or The Flaming Lips then I highly recommend picking up Built to Spill’s latest CD, There Is No Enemy. I can’t get enough of it.
Zepparella
Another photo from last week’s Zepparella gig at the Ashland Armory…
The last Led Zeppelin show in the USA happened just a few miles from my home. It was one of those “Days on the Green” that Bill Graham did. Being only 8 years old at the time, I wasn’t there. However, I did read Hammer of the Gods between innings at A’s games held at the same location in 1985, and I owned their entire collection on CD before the 80s were over.
Seeing Zepparella twenty-something years later is the next best thing. Actually, Zepparella probably play the songs a bit tighter live, and they are easier on the eyes anyway. 😉
Zepparella – Gretchen Menn
As mentioned a few days ago, last night I made good on my decision to see Zepparella at the Historic Ashland Armory. This place is much better than other venues in Southern Oregon. Compared to the Medford Armory, Main 1 Arts Center, and Rogue Theatre in Grants Pass (which is the worst) the Ashland Armory is in superior condition, has a better stage, better lighting, sound, etc. The size is also perfect. The Main 1 Arts Center is too small and the stage is too low. The Medford Armory is too big and hollow. All bands should come through the Ashland Armory instead of those other places.
Anyway, Zepparella were great. I had the best seat in the house, front row next to Zepparella’s lovely and talented guitarist, Gretchen Menn. The front row is great for the view, but the sound isn’t so excellent. I could hear her guitar and the drums well, but the bass and vocals were coming out of speakers to my sides or above me so my position didn’t allow for a good mix.
