Music: Ass - “And Pass it to Each Other”
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008
Good day fellow Stashers! Today we get to play in some beautiful folk-genre-music with ASS - yes a funny name for a talented Swede. His musical name is really an acronym for Andreas Soderstrom Solo. Mr. Soderstrom has worked with different artists and must have a great sense of humor. Today’s cut, “And Pass it to Each Other” is from the album “My Get Up and Go Just Got Up and Went” which is a collection of acoustic guitar solos. This beautiful acoustic music is just what I needed when I realized it is only Tuesday, and Friday seems a bit far. So, Mellow out with me, Stashers as I pass this on to you, and as we all pass it to each other!

Today on our Music Stash, we introduce the singer-songwriter duo of MOLLY AND SONNY BOY and their wonderful song “Relax your Mind”. Not just a great song for a Wednesday, but good advice to boot! They live in New Ulm, Minnesota and their quirky, entertaining style has them well known in their local community. Molly is a radio announcer at 860am KNUJ. Most of thier music is uplifting and most of it is laced with comedy. When not making beautiful music together, they can be found hitting the road on their Harley. Get to know Molly and Sonny Boy at their website 
Today on the Stash we look to a singer-songwriter for our midweek hit. I found the perfect guy-with-a-guitar kind of music. MARK GOTHARD has a unique voice like other greats of this genre, (think Tom Waits, Neil Young), his guitar style is engaging and warm, and like all good folkster artists he has something to say. Today’s track “If Thomas Jefferson Were Here” is a reflection on the state of our government. In our struggle to end prohibition we can get inspiration from the Jefferson quote “The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government”. If you like Mark’s style, please visit his website at 
So early in the week and already I need a vacation! Follow me to a place in the sun with Artist SLY JOE. Take a musical jaunt to sunny places like So Cal and New Mexico, and even a skip through Hawaii with this upbeat, just-what-we- need-on-a-Tuesday, melody. The musical hit today, “High” fills me up like a fresh squeezed lemonade at a dusty summer festival. How could any song that features a ukelele and a kazoo not give you a lift? Even though Sly Joe, who lives in Neenah, Wisconsin, is probably scraping the ice off his windshield today, he has me dreaming of enjoying some Pakalolo with my peeps on Makena beach. Aloha!
What better than an easy-sounding folkster to ease us through a Wednesday? BLEEDING HANDS is the band name of Andy “Bleeding Hands” Hughes. Yep, one guy can a band make if you are this Londoner with a penchant for heart-felt lyrics and an electric guitar. If you enjoy your buzz in a coffee bar watching a singer with a guitar and a mike, then the melancholy “High Times” is your cup-o-joe. I really like the mix of folk with an electric guitar. Even better, I would love to hear this song around a campfire with some friends singing along. Enjoy todays music hit, “High Times” and check out more information about the artist at
