Meanwhile my exceptionally talented mucker Jeff Hart - http://www.ipass.net/jhart/jh02main.htm - whom you all should know through his seminal work with Jeff Hart & the Ruins and the Brown Mountain Lights - is currently playing in a Neil Young tribute band, the splendidly named Young Neil & the Damage Done(!)

Rehearsal MP3s of some of their oeuvre are currently available on Jeff's MySpace site. Check 'em out ... I can't wait for their version of 'Revolution Blues'.
