I am walking in a bog and can’t see my way to the other side. That’s how life can feel when you discover you are embarking into the current sandwich generation. I have always hated that term. Who wants to be thought of as the meat packed down between one slice of bread, your kids, …
Chapter Twenty-Three (Continued) Keith chuckled. I grabbed a pillow and whacked him several times. “That’s not funny, you twit!” He pushed me back onto the bed. “What’s your hurry? I want to shag all morning.” “I need the loo, and I’m starving. Is there room service?” “Oui. What do you fancy?” “Surprise me. Should we …
Last night, September 6, 2011 I ventured out to a little club called The Highline. It’s a very friendly, cozy little place up a flight of stairs on Broadway in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. There I had the pleasure of viewing three great acts. First up was Pascal Briggs. This is my second time seeing …
B’shoot was exhausting, not to mention rather slight in the big names/next big things department. At this point I shouldn’t need to rely on Old Soul Artists (Mavis Staples, Dennis Coffey, Charles Bradley, hell, even Hall & Oates!) to provide my hardcore jollies at a big Seattle music festival, but I guess it’s come to …
If this is true, it’s a fantastic historical document. Who would have recorded this, the FBI?
Here’s Jimmy Kimmel’s touching tribute to his Uncle Frank, a 20 year New York cop and 20 year Caesar’s Palace Security guard, who passed away recently and was part of Jimmy Kimmel Live. Frank was so natural on camera that, if I had seen any of these skits the first time around, I would have …
Chapter Twenty-One “Bloody hell! How could you forget that?” “Me? You’re the one pouring champagne down my throat. For some reason you find amusement getting me drunk. La vache! I better not be up the duff. A baby would spoil everything.” “Fucking right about that. What about that new pill that prevents pregnancy?” “I’d be …

Love this. It reminds me of those mornings when you are just not with it. You keep thinking of the hairstyle someone is wearing or what you are going to eat after church. Pretty bad, I know. – Natasha Spence “Sometimes When we worship, we don’t really mean it. This is what it would look …
Chapter Nineteen I sat stunned. Did I hear right or was I wishing so hard I imagined it? I was catapulted back to reality when everyone with me yelled, “You won!” Keith grabbed me for a quick kiss, whispering something like love conquers all. My mother took about a hundred pictures and I was sure …
He went by many names- Rice, Willie, Footsie, The Goat. His real name may have been Aleck Miller. He claimed to be the well-known bluesman Sonny Boy Williamson. When it was pointed out to him that this was another man, he insisted he had adopted the name first. Of course he was an imposter, but …
To anyone attending the Minnesota State Fair for the first time, it may seem like a typical oversized Midwest Extravaganza, with all its appealing and not so appealing aspects. People of all ages, shapes and sizes milling around the fairgrounds with every sort of food imaginable-usually on a stick. Hawkers of wares, of good and …
Chapter Seventeen “All our fucking instruments were stolen. The van is all smashed. Bloody hell!” Ryan continued. “Everything’s fucking gone! How the hell will I explain this to my dad.” “We’ll meet you in the lobby,” I said. Ryan left and Keith slammed the door. “Fuckin’ aye! My brand new Telecaster! I’ve wanted that guitar …
I went to see Walter Trout at House of Blues in Chicago on Friday, Sept. 2. And I must say, Trout is one excellent performer to see live. Be sure to go out and see him when he comes to your town. I’m not a big guitar hero guy, but when you can play a …
