This blog spot is the home to my ramblings. I am a free lance writer. Most of my work goes on Associated Content. Sometimes I write what is on my mind, sometimes I plug some of my writing, and sometimes a combination of the two. So, sit back read, enjoy, and we will see where it goes.
Above "Bad Dream" from Eddy "The Chief" Clearwater. The Blues legend past away on the 1st from heart failure. Eddy was a member of the Blues Hall of Fame and has been nominated for Grammy Awards. Clearwater was a fixture on the Chicago Blues Scenes from the 50s on.
Today, I'm switching over to musical theater. At one time I did write about theater for this site. Why am I picking Chicago besides the fact it starts with a C? It was the first National Touring musical that I ever went to see back in 2002. I won tickets from a fabulous record store (remember them?).
What's not to like the musical has catchy songs, an easy to follow plot, eye candy, and "All That Jazz". We caught the show at The Lyric, a beautiful venue in Baltimore, Maryland.
It was back on mind since, I just watched another touring version of the show in February in Pensacola.
That tour is playing sat The Kennedy Center now through April 16, with Grammy Award winning singer Brandy Norwood portraying Roxie.
I notice there were some small differences since the last time I witness the performance, which was nice. Seeing the show before, watching the movie version you do get used to the show.
This is just a quick post on /c and /i will be back with a D post soon.
Just got back from another road trip. Thought I would share another article I had published during the A to Z challenge. The assignment was to write an article on how to throw a birthday party for a young girl. So, I wrote one called How I Had a Birthday Party for a 7-year-old-girl for under $150. It is a true article and hopefully it offers some helpful advice.
I had written some other helpful Birthday party articles in December of 2007 and January 2008. They were pretty much top ten lists of places to throw a party in Chicago and Dallas. Who knows maybe I will write some more articles on birthdays in the future.
Yes I know I have blogged about him quite a bit this year, but blues guitar legend Buddy Guy celebrates his birthday today. Part of the reason I have blogged about him a lot this year is he is still touring! I was able to see him twice on two different tours. The other is he simply kicks tail on the guitar even at 76!
Here is my review from earlier this month.Here is my review from the Spring Experience Hendrix Show. Here is a clip from the Experience Show with Johnny Lang...
Here he performs with some other greats at the White House...
