Went for a local storm chase today. Didn't see anything too great -- some quarter-sized hail, a nice CG -- but it was good to sight some legitimate structure after the long, gray winter. So here are some highlights and a bit of time-lapse.

"Little Sadie" is an American bad-man ballad from the late 19th or early 20th century. It is related to other, similar songs "Bad Lee Brown" and "Cocaine Blues," the latter of which which was recorded by Johnny Cash. The earliest written record of "Little Sadie" dates to 1922 and the first audio recording was made by North Carolina old-time musician Clarence "Tom" Ashley in 1930. The murder in the story took place in North Carolina, with the sheriff from Thomasville apprehending the killer in Jericho, which is possibly near Charleston, SC.

"Little Sadie" is on Lightnin's CD _Shake 'Em On Down_. Visit lightninwells.com.

The Licking County Hot Lix, an Ohio-based bluegrass band, recently released their debut CD, "Bluegrass Instrumentals." We did this after-hours taping following their show at R.A. Fountain General Store on May 29, 2008. We look forward to their return to Fountain on August 22. The next day, August 23, 2008, this splendid group is scheduled to perform as the featured band at the Carter Family Fold in Hiltons, Virginia.
