Getting this newsletter via SMS (Phone Text)
Elm Treason has officially ceased using Facebook Messenger as a way of distributing this weekly newsletter.
Yes, we are still on Facebook.
Yes, we still use Messenger to stay in contact with friends and fans.
That hasn’t changed.
But as far as using an automated delivery system to send out GROOVY NOODLES, Facebook Messenger is toast.
There are now two ways to get this newsletter delivered every Friday.
E-Mail and Direct Phone Text.
If you already receive this newsletter via e-mail and you’re happy with that, you’re good to go. Nothing has changed.
However, if you’d rather receive your Noodles every Friday via a Phone Message (SMS), just hit this link and fill in the three fields (Name, E-Mail address and phone number):
—> GROOVY NOODLES SMS SIGN UP <—
You have our word that we will ONLY ever use your phone number to send the weekly notification for the newsletter. That’s it. We will never use it as a sales platform of any kind. ONLY the weekly newsletter. 🙂
Promise.
We hope you’ll stay in touch with us.
Just Amazing
If you haven’t seen this…. it’s pretty damn amazing. 11 year old Nandu Bushell tackles (and ACES) Rush’s Tom Sawyer on drums.
She is just a wonder.
We have no doubt that Neil Peart himself would LOVE this… and be honored.

Oh man.. that slow blues… that finger-picking soul crunching blues….. That’s what SLEEPY BONES sounds like to us. 🙂
It is SO SO GOOD to have you in the group. It really is. We will slowly nurture it and find out what works best. We’re just launching it, so there will be some growing pains… but it’s going to be GOOD!
Big Liver McGee 🙂
I (Andy) can’t even tell you how much I LOVE that – Big Liver! That’s a double album package for sure.

Sounds like a pretty decent blues dude… but can also sound like a dinner plate gone bad on the counter. LOL.
I (Andy) LOVE the first name “Red” for a BLUES singer.

Jailhouse Money Jones. Can you dig it? Looking forward to the Uptown Q. Great name! Is the New Yorker enjoying hanging out in Texas?
Jailhouse Money Jones. Really like that…. I (Andy) hear a live acoustic blues set recorded in a sawdust joint off of interstate 10 in Eastern Texas.
So far, so good here in Texas. I dig it much. The people are far more friendlier, if I may say so… This New Yorker has been enjoying himself thus far. THANK YOU for asking, Katie!

Red Legs Rivers
There’s something about RED LEGS RIVERS that I (Andy) adore. Can’t pinpoint it but I somehow hear some killer slide guitar in there somewhere.
Bald Lemon Malone. The name alone would give me the Blues! 🙂
HAHAHA! Sounds like some recently discovered recordings from the Late 1940s… out of Chicago, maybe.
