Greg Laswell with Elizabeth Ziman (of Elizabeth and the Catapult)Presented by 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill at 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill May 19, 2012 So there I was, in a town that has fewer year-round residents than were at Disneyland today. I had my normal studio-dog Shep Proudfoot to keep me company and the faint chime from a fog horn every 15 seconds (a sound that peeks through a few of the slower songs if you’re listening on headphones). I had little-to-no cellphone reception, which gave way to naming the record after its title track: Landline. Plus, it was a better title than Greg Laswell: Fog Horn. I taped two index cards... | 3rd and Lindsley Bar and Grill | 05/19/12 | Nashville |
