Took a nice, leisurely trip up to Asheville this past weekend with Vera, kind of a mini-vacation inspired by Robyn Hitchcock -- a longtime fave of mine -- having come to play a gig at the Grey Eagle on Saturday.
Hitchcock is someone I’ve been listening to for more than three decades, which means I started picking up his records not that long after he started making them. I wore out the Soft Boys albums, his solo stuff, and those he made fronting the Egyptians, picking up and studying just about everything right through the ’90s and after.
