Susan Werner is my guest tonight!

Hello my friends—

I hope you are safe and sound. Last night I watched another beautiful sunset over the Blue Ridge Mountains. We’ve had an incredible string of the most breathtaking days you can imagine. Orange skies stretched across the horizon. I was thinking that alongside all this beauty, weeks and months of turbulence and chaos rage on. If the planet was our actual landlord, I think we’d be unfolding our eviction notice right now. Who wants a tenant like this? The noise. The disrespect. The clutter. The lack of awareness. The weeks ahead will prove whether or not our democracy is a democracy. Please vote. It’s the first step in assuring we start creating a better planet to live on. We need this. Make change. Vote.

NEW ALBUM!

Songs are still being sung out here. Not so much in venues these days, but they do create an escape, a refuge, and some comfort—certainly for me! I’ve got lots to sing about. I have a new album, recorded at home during the pandemic. It’s called “The Traveling Medicine Show, Volume 1”— it’s available EXCLUSIVELY to my Patreon subscribers: https://www.patreon.com/ellispaul . This album is very different for me, because it’s mostly cover songs that I chose from the ones performed on my Friday Night Traveling Medicine Show—songs like “Over the Rainbow”, “Vincent”, and “Day Tripper”—and I play most of the instruments as well.


FREE SONG!

Here’s a free download from the new album—a surprise song for you:

ELLIS PAUL GUITAR FOR SALE!
This guitar is a much-loved piece of my musical history and … it can be YOURS! It’s time to lighten my collection of instruments. This is Kismet. This beauty came into my life when I won a raffle at the 2017 Woody Guthrie Folk Festival. It was a Friday night, on the main stage in front of a few thousand people. Because I had just performed, some thought maybe I had bribed the little girl who pulled my winning ticket! But not so. I had however crumpled up my tickets when I threw them in the old pickle jar, thinking it might give me some advantage over the thousands of tickets laying flat in there. I was right. We were meant to be together. Hence the name “Kismet”. Now my luck can be yours! Kismet is a 2017 Martin 00-28VS guitar ( https://www.martinguitar.com/guitars/discontinued-guitars/00-28vs/ ), Serial Number 2096143. It has a Fishman Matrix Infinity Mic Blend Acoustic Pickup, which increases its value. I am offering Kismet in a silent auction, to the highest bidder. Bidding starts at $4500. If you would like to bid, just email me at ellispaul7@gmail.com with your bid. The deadline is 11:59 pm on October 20.
