... Brad Delp ...

You are a HUGE contributor to countless hours of listening pleasure in my life.

Black and Right

Yeah... what he said...

What really matters...enough said

Jordin Sparks
Melinda Doolittle
Lakisha Jones


I mean really, the rest are just karaoke in front of a gazillion viewers.

This would be longer - but I need to go check the Sanjaya blogs.

Barking at strangers and speaking in tongues
The ebb and flow of tidal fortune
Electrical change is the charging of the young"

Willy on JimTube

Ah, fresh from two outstanding shows from Willy. First in Sacramento, where I was quite literally front & center. Then to Pitchouli-ville aka Berkeley, where the seats weren't quite as good, but it's not like there's a bad seat to be had in a non-profit music organization's 100 year old coffee house.

Anywho, here is Willy making his Betsy "Breathe" at the Berkeley show (Betsy is his old 12-string seen being played here). If only I had more to share. Stupid me a) forgot the camera for Sacto show and b) only captured one song from the Berkeley show. Shame on me.

Yo - Kevin, et al ...

... I mentioned Soulive a few years ago during a photo session with a Cobra Convertible and a blurb about "On The Loose" by Saga, and here are 2 samples of said group:

Yes to all : tracks 2 and 6 ...

I listen to this CD all the time and buzz around it like I'm hitting auto reverse on my Principle of Moments tape while I delivered pizza in 19?? ...

Yes, that's Dave Matthews on track 4 ...

Tracks 3 and 8 dominate and 11 "Alkime" fights it out regularly with "Big Log" for #1 all time in my heart.

Love these guys ...

Top 5 Reasons to see Willy Porter live

5) You'll never meet a nicer, unpretentious artist. Talk to him after a show and see my point.
4) You'll feel like you ripped him off because you only paid $15 for your ticket.
3) For the women - if only your man's fingers could move like that...
2) Put down your Spin magazine and answer me this, when's the last time you actually supported an independent, non-local musician?
1) It's chic to be a balding white guy from Wisconsin.
