Music: Buckcherry
Book: The Expected One - Kathleen McGowan (advance copy)
Saw PINK at first ave last night and she was spectacular. It's a rarity for a performer to be bigger and better live than on the cd. She was gracious and entertaining and just ON. Great show, I would go back again in a heart beat. Now it looks like we're trying to see Tom Waits in Akron Ohio during August - we'll see if we can make this happen....

Holiday
Music: Joe Cocker
Book: Light in Shadow - no idea it was a discount book at Borders
Happy Holiday weekend as we celebrate July 4th. I enjoyed the Tom Petty concert at Xcel way too much this week. His songs are cute and catchy - I don't even own a CD, but I knew everything he played! And to experience 18,000 people singing along with a performer on stage is a unique event. He didn't do a single thing except stand there with a guitar in hand in front of the mic (oh wait, he shook a morraca spelling?? for a song) But he was enchanting - no fake enthusiasm or "Hello Saint Paul!" crap. Just honest to goodness music. Quite a treat.
Things keep falling into place for the September 29th live recorded show at the Mabel Tainter - I can't wait! Chadly and I have a few rehearsals planned as we roll out a bit of new music and....I think that's about it. Have a safe and happy holiday.

Hiya
Music: Joe Cocker - I Can Stand a Little Rain
Book: Caleb Carr - new one in paperback, can't wait
I remember the Alienist blowing mind mind away in college...it was a story unlike any I had heard before but the writing was hypnotic. Now I get to enjoy Carr's new novel. Mr. Husband and I made an offer on a gorgeous house in Wisconsin last night - hopefully we get it, if not, I guess we build. This process is insane. No shows this weekend but I am looking forward to the rain. My pets are curled up beside me and we have a lovely get together planned with friends in Prior Lake tonight. Good weekend all in all....

Hot
Music: kt tungstall
Book: once an angel
Wonderful house concert last night at Parlor Parties hosted by CollectedSounds in Minneapolis. Got to hear Gregory Douglass - spectacular song writer with a beautful voice. Shopping for organic goods earlier in the day I threw out something near my tailbone so I've been lounging in bed with ice packs THE WHOLE DAMN WEEKEND. Its getting better-I think. Made for quite the interesting show. Back up dancers have never been my forte but let's just say I played as still as possible so not to upset my spinal chord - thankfully my roadie husband was along and hefted me and my guitar around with minimal amounts of laughter. Sold some CDs, had some snacks and a lovely Saturday night in Minneapolis. Now if only Pro Floors would come and install my new doors, Mr. Husband and I could move along with putting our house on the market and heading back to Wisconsin. Summer is looking more stressful by the minute - but change is always good. Happy Fathers day to al the dad's out there....

muggy and gloomy today
Music: blues
Book: none *gasp*
I really need to hit a book store. Not much literature peaking my interest right now though...Quiet on the home front today.

Baby boy
Music: none
Book: the world is flat
My big sister had another baby boy this morning - Leo David is his name. Hurray for nephew #2. Chadly and I are hitting a couple of open mics in the Twin Cities followed by a house concert in June. So to all you lovely people who have emailed asking for Minneapolis shows - well, here you go. We can't wait to see you there. I have pulled out all of my winter clothes that I packed away in April when it was 70 degrees, but now it's 40 degrees and I can't feel my fingers. So I'm covered head to toe in sweat shirts and flannel. Ahhh Minnesota. More house hunting today with Mr. Husband and practice tomorrow with Chadly. Good weekend, wouldn't you say?
