Doctors

Lets give a big FI MAZEL TOV to my bandmate and friend Dr. Dan Abrams, who successfully defended his dissertation up at the NU last week, and sadly will soon be leaving us for the sunnier climbs of California, where he's locked down a job at Stanford. Our loss will be Cali Neuropsych's gain.

But don't cry yet, dear readers, for tonight you have a chance to see the man in action for Hayward's second to last gig with Dan before the move (and before the move back Chicago to rejoin the band, of course). So come on up to the Green Room Session at the Edgewater Uncommon Ground, 1401 W. Devon. Our pal Nick Markos will open the show at 9 with Hayward to Follow.

To commemorate the occasion, we have a guest post today sent in by Dan himself. Its from another Doctor, of New Orleans music, that is. The track is "Those Lonely Lonely Nights" from Dr. John's 1972 album Dr John's Gumbo, a tribute to the music of his native city (Dr. John, not Dr. Dan). "Its my all-time favorite New Orleans album", writes Dan, "after spending many years as the Night Tripper, bringing snakes onstage and playing strange voodoo music, Dr. John got serious here playing crescent city classics with an all-star band".
