Bluesfest was amazing.
Come.
See what I saw.

Don Mclean. Yup. Mr. American Pie himself.


Matt King. Funky country dude out of Nashville.


Shakura S'Aida. Great blues voice out of Toronto.


Budos Band. Horn Funk.


A terrible pic of Metric.


Theory of a Deadman.


Kid Beyond. The find of the festival. Very Kick Ass!


Bernard Allison. Mad cool guitar dude.


Walter Trout and the Radicals


Dweezil Zappa doing his father proud.


Matt Good, showing fantastic contempt for the crowd. (I loved it)


Primus.

Can't wait for next year.

It's that time of year again.

RIP George.

It's been too long since last I posted, as life has been mostly insane.



This time of year is always bad for work.



I can't remember the last time my time was my own.



So tell me about your good times so I can live vicariously.



Hope y'all are having a great summer.

The Time Has Come!


LAS VEGAS BABY!


7 Nights hanging my hat at Planet Hollywood.


Seeing the shows



Eating... oh the eating....



... and of course... a monkey.


Be back in a week!

So for the last two weeks I've been trying to make my 'puter go again.


And of course, Bill and the boys haven't made it any easier.


It doesn't help that this is my first day off in 17 days.


Time is having it's way with me.


But, three weeks from tomorrw I'll be back in VEGAS!


Pece at last.


And cuz everyone likes monkeys.... a monkey.

So....
The reality show filming was odd.



It's funny how you get used to ignoring the camera.



Looks like it will be something like a year before the episode airs.



In the mean time, I've found some new addictions.






What are you addicted to this week?

So.

I have a friend.



She's getting married.



We've been friends a long time and she's asked me to say a few words at the reception.



What I've just learned is her wedding has been chosen for filming by a reality TV show.



So my somewhat witty remarks will not now merely fall on the ears of the 180 guests in attendance, but possibly (depending on the editing) on many, many more.



I'll let ya know if there's any reason to tune in.



Anyone with any good toasts or ideas is welcome to share.

Happy New Year to all!

(Unless you are Chinese, Islamic or Tamil: your days are coming.)
