Hey, yall! I hope this missive makes its mark finding you in fine fettle with the pedal-to-the-metal and ready to settle into a really gone GROOVE! What???? I dunno... ANY-HOO...
First off, I want to thank everyone who came out to see the Beatnecks and me in Columbus, OH, and Harrisonburg, VA, last weekend. We all really appreciate it!
In other news (from Swagsville!), that rascally Tom Comet has been at it again, and as a result, we have a new T-shirt to offer. Our own Webmaster General, Mike-o-Matic, has done a far better job than I ever could in describing it, so check out what he has to say, here:
-----
A while back, bass-meister Tom Comet created a nifty UFO-themed shirt, made for that year's Webb Fest. The fans loved it! Well, the little green men are back, and they've brought along an updated version!
This shirt's front features a hypnotically-striped, orange "Webb" logo. The back side may give you the heebie-jeebies: That's where we see the visitors' vehicle, riding atop its Credo-powered propulsion waves. Upon viewing, you'll know why they *really* came to Earth: for ROCK & ROLL!

See whutahmean? We have the matching bumper sticker with the same logo now, to boot! Check it all out at WebbWilder.com. Both the shirt and sticker are shown below.
There are no WW shows as such this week, but I will be at Duling Hall in Jackson, MS, this Saturday night, 8/18/2018, to sit in with a rare reunion of Jackson faves, Oral Sox. This will be a benefit show for our friend James Patterson, who has had some bad luck in the health department of late. Here's a link to some info about the event.

To the world, James has enjoyed a prolific and successful career as a top notch and acclaimed photographer. But on a personal level, he has been a loyal and cherished friend and supporter, going back to the old days of my Mississippi band, The Drapes. I look forward to seeing him and a lot of other old friends in Jackson, MS this Saturday night.
My Americana radio album chart show, The List, will air at its usual times of 2-4pm Central on Friday, and 7-9am Central on Saturday. Catch it online at rootsradio.com or wmot.org, and in middle Tennessee at 89.5 FM on your radio dial. Archived episodes can now be heard at Roots Radio Replays.

I appreciate all the love and support that you, "the People of the Loving Public," have shown me and The Beatnecks over these many years. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Be well,
Webb Wilder - "Electrifying Artist"
