"...Last Song, Thanks a Lot, Folks"

We've been listening, morosely, to this outtake from Richard Hawley's show at the Croc on 12/10, courtesy of the Northwest Tapers and Hawley, who let them use the soundboard to tape from. Earlier in the show, Hawley mentioned he'd seen little independent record stores closing down all over the country on his tour. Well, so are venues. Discovering Hawley exists is one of the reasons we're sad to see the Croc go -- we met a lot of music we had no idea we liked there.

To listen in on one of the last shows at the Croc, give thanks to Northwest Tapers and Richard Hawley, and download the super HQ FLAC file or the more storage-space friendly mp3 version.

We'll post more on the Croc's exit when we hear more.
