Bruce has just released a new solo CD 'Nothin But The Blues'.   It's a fantastic collection of traditional and original blues featuring just Bruce and his guitar.  You can purchase the CD at cdbaby.com.

The artist I always associate with Hunter is Tom Benton.  Tom designed the "double thumbed fist clutching a peyote button"  that Hunter used in his campaign for sheriff of Aspen as well did a delightful poster for Hunter's running mate, Bill Noonan.  Bill ran for coroner, as I remember, on the freak power ticket with Hunter, and Tom's poster showed Bill in a black coat and hat, holding a shovel, standing next tot a tombstone with the heading "Let Noonan do it".  Tom Benton had a studio in his building in downtown Aspen where he lived with his wife Betty and their two children, Michelle and Brian, and his art was very popular in those days.  He and Hunter were absolute best friends.

I talked to Tom in the aftermath of Hunter's death and he was quite shaken and I guess I was as well.  Hunter may have been somewhat difficult in many ways, but in addition to being a great writer he had an unstoppable sense of humor.  I can recall staying with my parents in Calgary on a short break from touring in the U.S. and my mother waking me at 4AM to take a "phone call from Hunter".  I went upstairs and took the telephone from my fairly cross mother, said "Hi Hunter", and was greeted with an incredibly loud explosion - a gunshot - from the other end of the line.  I kind of panicked - though Oh, No! - but Hunter came on the line and said "I got the bastard".  I said "Jesus, a burglar, or what?", he said "My typewriter - no one could write anything decent with a piece of shit like that".  Then he hung up.  I'm not sure that my mother ever got over the phone call.  Hunter loved being funny - I hope Ralph Steadman kept that in mind when he wrote his book.  I probably won't read it - I want my memories of Hunter to stay exactly as they are.
