Making Space

Recently a friend of mine was married. And that got me to thinking. I want to write something about it. Ok – so people get married every day. How does this precipitate a blog post?

An Anniversary Celebration and New Orleans

I feel so blessed to know so many great, gracious local musicians. And it seems like I’m meeting new people every week. Most are really receptive to having an amateur photographer/blogger hanging around. I get to see a lot of positive in the music community in this area. I’m especially happy to see musicians with a night off popping in to support other musicians. That’s sort of how I got started doing my blog… I don’t have a regular gig anymore. When people ask me what I’m doing musically these days, I tell them I’m singing with whoever will have me. Such is the life of a backing vocalist.

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”. 

Asleep At The Wheel

Wouldn’t that make a great name for a band? Asleep At The Wheel…

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.

Did That Guy Just Call Me a Dog?

Yes, yes he did… but it’s not like it sounds. We’ll get to that in a bit.
