Good to be back behind the audio bar here in the Lost Music Saloon after being gone for the past 3 Mondays on a fun&sun winter getaway vacation.  But first things first: Major Saloon "Thanks!" go out to WRIR DJ's Johnny Trouble, Albert, and Anna who filled in so capably in my absence – – three shows that kept true to the Saloon spirit, but offered some interesting contrasts to the music I typically play.  Great job, super-subs!

For today's show I'll be taking heed of Presidents Day with some prez/election/political tunes.  I'll also be giving away tickets to the upcoming (and already sold out) Lake Street Dive concert in Charlottesville on Sunday, Feb. 23rd.  If you're unfamiliar with Lake Street Dive, it's a jazz-based band at its core, but is overlaid with pop/rock/folk/blues/country.  I caught them on a Colbert Report show recently, and they impressed.  Finally, I'm also going to play a couple of cuts from a band I discovered while on vacation – – a smokin' blues-rock outfit out of Florida called the Bart Walker Band.
