To type the least..... RICH'S KITCHEN NO PLACE LIKE IT . Dub was and has been one of the main influences in my playing career. I remember going to play and sing at Rich's in 1991 and brought an electric guitar to use after I finished playing Dub said to me " you should play more acoustic guitar" and I did and still do. As I said at the benefit Dub was ALWAYS gracious to share the stage at RICH'S and MAKE YOU SOUND YOUR ABSOLUTE BEST. Dub would scan the room and then would say your name to come up to PLAY OR DIE at THE WET SPOT LOUNGE . I would bring my guitar and voice and step 6 inch up onto the stage that special corner of world where the music was alive and and the beat hot , musicians tucked in tight , and Dub would say what songs do you want to do ? I would would draw on a bar napkin some songs I wanted to do and let Dub pick 2 out of 3 out of 5 I was ready to perform . I would print the letters MR. and then draw a soul of a shoe for Mr Soul. I had bands from when I was 14 till intomy 20s on back in New Jersey and we played Green Wood lake New York , the Jersey Shore ,battle of the bands , proms, dances , I've had bands here in Portland and these days play , sing and perform mostly a single act and cover a ton of John Prine from 60s up but I must say that night of the benefit when I walk up on that stage and Dub introduced me like he has done many times before it was Deja Vu 'all over again'. It was A COSMIC RICH'S KITCHEN and for me the BEST PERFORMANCE I ever gave with the best musicians I have ever played with the best sound system , the best stage for THE BEST DUB DEBRIE Thank you , Michael Cosentino Mr. Soul .Lyrics Analysis of "Mr. Soul" Mr. Soul by Neil Young -------- Oh, hello Mr. Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason For the thought that I caught that my head is the event of the season Why in crowds just a trace of my face could seem so pleasin' I'll cop out to the change, but a stranger is putting the tease on. I was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a letter I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her Any girl in the world could have easily known me better She said, You're strange, but don't change, and I let her. In a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster? Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster Is it strange I should change? I don't know, why don't you ask her?

RICH’S KITCHEN NO PLACE LIKE IT . Dub was and has been one of the main
influences in my playing career. I remember going to play and sing at Rich’s in 1991 and brought an electric guitar to use after I finished playing
Dub said to me ” you should play more acoustic guitar” and I did and still do. As I said at the benefit
Dub was ALWAYS gracious to share the stage at RICH’S and
MAKE YOU SOUND YOUR ABSOLUTE BEST.
Dub would scan the room and then would say your name to come up to
PLAY OR DIE at THE WET SPOT LOUNGE .
I would bring my guitar and voice and step 6 inch up onto the stage
that special corner of world where the music was
alive and and the beat hot , musicians tucked in tight ,
and Dub would say what songs do you want to do ?
I would would draw on a bar napkin some songs I wanted to do
and let Dub pick 2 out of 3 out of 5 I was ready to perform .
I would print the letters MR. and then draw a soul of a shoe for Mr Soul.
I had bands from when I was 14 till intomy 20s on back in New Jersey and we played

that night of the benefit when I walk up on that stage and Dub introduced me
like he has done many times before it was Deja Vu ‘all over again’.
It was
A COSMIC RICH’S KITCHEN
and for me the BEST PERFORMANCE I ever gave
with the best musicians I have ever played with the best sound system , the best stage
for THE BEST DUB DEBRIE
Thank you ,

Mr. Soul by Neil Young
——–
Oh, hello Mr. Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason
For the thought that I caught that my head is the event of the season
Why in crowds just a trace of my face could seem so pleasin’
I’ll cop out to the change, but a stranger is putting the tease on.

I was down on a frown when the messenger brought me a letter
I was raised by the praise of a fan who said I upset her
Any girl in the world could have easily known me better
She said, You’re strange, but don’t change, and I let her.

In a while will the smile on my face turn to plaster?
Stick around while the clown who is sick does the trick of disaster
For the race of my head and my face is moving much faster
Is it strange I should change? I don’t know, why don’t you ask her?

I believe Dub is our hidden jewel of the Northwest, so much quality and variety in what he writes and performs! We need to find him a place to set up his equipment, leave it, and let us go to him and support him as long as he's willing to play for us! Thank You for being there for Dub, I've listened to you for years, enjoy you very much! Chuck Seggerman Iris, I sang Mambo Kings that magical night, it was an honor!

We love his music, have a couple CD's thanks to Perry Hyde who introduced us to his friends great talent. Sadly, we did not partake in this one but hoping to snag a CD when it's released. Dub, we won't miss the next one, promise! We love all that you give. Please, please, keep it comming. Jan & Randy Really wish we could have made it up to Portland for this one!
