Oh the people I meet..........

I'm constantly amazed at the network of people I have met as a musician and photographer.  I will meet people at shows, have a conversation, enjoy the moment and memory created.  It's when I go home I will sometimes research a persons name, or look for them on social media, to discover they have done this or that.  So many times I have been surprised to find out about peoples achievements, accomplishments, and things they have done in the past (always positive by the way, I never look for negatives in people, negatives are never worth the energy).  I find myself constantly engaged in hearing peoples stories, about their lives, trials and tribulations, about their families, work, passions, where they are from, where they grew up, etc.  

I always find people amazing and intriguing from all walks of life. People are interesting to me, as everyone's story is always worth a listen.  For example, I worked for years with a woman and only knew her as that person.  After a work related road trip with lots of driving involved, I found out that she lived in various parts of the world, had body guards growing up as her dad was a high profile executive, was on the Olympic swim team until a car accident ended that dream, etc.  Another example is when I was growing up, I cut lawns for a retired couple every week.  One day, he was cleaning out his carport shed and I saw a guitar case. I asked to look at it and we started talking about music.  It turns out he was a professional Jazz musician through the 40's and 50's.  I can't recall his name anymore, but at the time, I remember being fascinated with hearing his stories of playing.  

Much of the people I meet never mention a thing about who they are or were, but I am perpetually humbled by them long after our conversations are past.  Thank you all!

Show at the Heritage Grill Friday April 19th, 2013

Well it's Kathy's Birthday on Friday, April 19th and she wants to have a party!  So we have booked the Backroom at the Heritage Grill for an evening of "Beer, Boobs, and Blues"  We are taking donations at the door for Breast Cancer Research.  We will be kicking it off at 8pm with the opening set, then have as many friends come join us and jam the night away in that good old Juke Joint Blues kinda way!  Come down and help us wish Kathy a Happy Birthday!  

Should also note as an added bonus, my good friend Harpdog Brown and his Bloodhounds will be performing in the Show Room at the Front.  A true gentleman and amazing harmonica player, always a great show when he plays!
