Live Music Everywhere!

Thursday night was another cool blues and hot rock jam night at The Muddy Waters. We were once again treated to a cross-section of musicians, including part of the Blues Challenge contender band: “Serious Business”.

To All My Texting Friends


Here’s a new twist on the issue of texting and driving: A young woman is being sued by accident victims because she sent the text a young man was reading when he caused a horrific accident.

You Never Know WHO Might Show...


As has pretty much become customary, I started out my weekend on Thursday night at The Muddy Waters for Johnny O’s Jam. I no more than walked in the door and I ran into Lee Blackmon. Literally – I think I turned a corner and walked into him!  I took Lee up on an offer to sit at his table, as the room was already beginning to fill. It looked to be another good jam night. A few minutes later, Retro Ron made an appearance. There were also a few faces I didn’t recognize.

From cool blues to face-melting metal


Thursday evening I started my weekend out in the usual fashion – Johnny O’s Jam session at The Muddy Waters. We saw some folks back from last week – and from what they told me, they’re loving Muddy’s and loving Johnny O, so they’ll be back again. It’s good to see the crowds growing on Thursday nights. And the more musicians, the more chances of finding some really cool new mixes.

Falling and Flying

A couple of weeks ago I met a young man and his girlfriend after watching him fly a super-giant kite that dragged him across the ground and lifted him into the air while he rode on a skateboard with giant wheels. Last Friday, he sent me a text that kiteboarding was on, and I dashed off after work, cameras at the ready.
