Tom Silvia Memorial Show from Bombadill’s, Ypsilanti MI –
Tuesday, September 5, 2006 @ 7:30-9:30 pm [20-0633]
This episode #172 is edited from the John Sinclair Radio Show #107 as a tribute to the late Tom “TV” Silvia, the Subliminal Kid, who passed away while visiting his parents in Baltimore earlier this year. Tom had set up our joint appearance at Bombadil’s in Ypsilanti on September 5, 2006 and arranged for Ann Arbor Alive Radio to record the proceedings for broadcast on www.a3radio.com and on Radio Free Amsterdam. Here are the notes to episode #107:
My last episode to be recorded in America this time was made at a hip little coffeehouse in Ypsilanti, Michigan called Bombadill’s. Tom Silvia set up the hit with Griff of Ann Arbor Alive Radio (a3radio.com) and backed me up on guitar and vocals. At Tom’s request we attacked the second Book, “Country Blues,” of my elongated work in verse called Fattening Frogs For Snakes. Tom provided the music and the occasional vocal, inserting some of his own blues compositions into the mix and performing admirably throughout. We talked about the blues and the bluesmen in between selections and had a natural ball.
