Finally some action again. Last night (Monday) Bruce took the stage with Joe Grushecky at Nick's Fat City in Pittsburgh. He came on more than an hour into the show, but allegedly jammed for two. You have to look elsewhere for a set list, but he did play on songs like "Murder Incorporated", "Ramord", "Light of Day" and "Brown Eyed Girl". There's a rumor that this was just the first in a series of guest appearances by Bruce on Grushecky's current tour, and that the "October Assault" of 1995 will be repeated, only this time it will be a "March Assault". Perhaps this is a bit far-fetched, but one can only hope Bruce wants to get back in shape for a tour of his own as was the case in 1995. Rumor does suggest that something may be imminent. In other news, Bruce is mentioned in connection with yet another tribute album, this time in honor of Woody Guthrie. The album will be a live album from the Guthrie tribute concert that Bruce participated in back in September 1996, and the Bruce tracks will most likely be "Tom Joad" (Guthrie's "Tom Joad" that is) and "Car Car". The album is set for release in the summer and is the initiative of Ani DiFranco.
