As you may have read in a recent DCD Newsletter, we've got the charity compilation pictured above now in stock. All Creatures Great and Small is brought to you by Wag-A-Lot, benefits the Atlanta Humane Society and features some of Atlanta's finest local talent, including a few folks that have played at good old Decatur CD. Check out this tracklist:

Francine Reed - "Grandma's Cookin' Christmas"
Big Mike Geier & Kingsized - "Do You Hear What I Hear?"

Twelve tracks, twelve bucks, all the money goes to the Humane Society. Great deal, right? Stop by and pick one up. We've got 'em right up front by the cash register.

Ellis Nassour/Caroline & The Ramblers photos!

Long overdue photos from our Ellis Nassour reading abound! Caroline & the Ramblers killed it and Ellis gave us some interesting background on his book. Basically, if you weren't there you missed out. That'll teach you for slacking. Show up next time or we'll blog-taunt you a second time!

Honky Tonk Angel book event update

Hot on the heels of our last book event, we're happy to remind you that on June 20th Ellis Nassour will be here to read from his new biography, Honky Tonk Angel: The Intimate Story of Patsy Cline. Nassour is a music-industry veteran, and has garnered piles of heavy praise for the book. We'll be providing delicious refreshments, but that's not all...

Caroline & the Ramblers, an Atlanta rockabilly/country act, will also perform. Starting at 7pm, the band will come on and play a couple songs (they'll be mixing Patsy Cline covers and originals in that same vein), then Ellis will talk about his book, then the band will play some more. It'll be a blast, no doubt.

You've got a couple weeks to get ready, and we suggest you start by reading some excerpts from the book and checking out the music of Caroline & the Ramblers. Think of it as the most fun homework assignment ever, then we'll see you on June 20th.
