The Wood Brothers

Thursday kicked off an amazing weekend of Music. First up, The Wood Brothers appearing at Triumph Brewery in New Hope, PA. How were our seats? you decide:








Pretty Damn Good Seats. If you would like to hear TWB click on the arrow below the black screen. The first video is "Lovin Arms" and the second is "Pray Enough".




Saturday night was My Hero, Mr. Buddy Guy with BB King. I saw Buddy once as part of The Experience Hendrix tour, but he did not play his own songs, of course. Buddy was Awesome. He was funny, played slamming guitar and That Voice......sigh......and no, I did not toss my panties on stage, I was too far away. The speck in the spotlight is Buddy. He was terrific and was worth the price of the ticket. Next time, I'm getting better seats. I hope to see him again this year.


I know B.B. King is a living legend. He is 84 years old and I appreciate his talent and his HUGE contribution to The Blues. However, he needs to retire and like the day before yesterday. He played one song. ONE. Then he proceeded to talk about "the ladies" and the ladies came up to the stage and took his picture, and he loved it. Yes, he's paid his musical dues, but I wanted to hear him play, not hear boring chit chat. If he had talked about his musical history that would have been one thing.....We left before it was over, we almost fell asleep. I bet Buddy was in bed too. xoSusan

Christmas 2009 Wrap Up

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I had a lovely time this year. My sister Deb hosted a great party. If I could figure out how to get my pics from my iphone to my computer, I'd share a few!! Instead you will have to make do with my humble abode Christmas day:

We interrupt this Moment With My Version of Teenager's Parent Smelling Salts:

Sam at 10 with her American Girl doll, Samantha. Wait, do you Hear that Music?? "The Way We Were, Can it Be That Things Were Oh So Simple Then? Or Has Time Rewritten Every Line"????? okay, I'm better, now. teehee. Seriously, I'm not worried. Marilyn Manson is a musical and a lyrical Genius IMHO. So It's All Good. His Images are just so Provocative. His Art is Amazing. Don't Hate till you check it out. If you Hate then, that's okay, cuz at least you got the facts first. moving on now.....
