Celebrating Taj Mahal

Today Saturday May 17 was Taj Mahal's birthday. The 17 year old blues man is a living legend. I first saw him open up for Eric Clapton many years ago, then I saw him at the Wanee Festival in 2011, but it was when I saw him in 2012 at the State Theatre in Falls Church was when he blew my mind!

Here is a sample from the show I saw at Wanee in 2011...

with the Allman Brothers too...

My kinda blues here..

He is probably best known for this song...

Hope he has many more birthdays! Thanks for tuning in..

Z to A: Wanee Part 2

I'm still swamped. However, I did get the main Wanee Review published that I talked about with the first Wanee post in the last challenge. I was also able to publish a review of Robert Plant and his Band of Joy performing at Wanee. You can read that review here. I hope to publish some more soon.

However, I am also working on some other writing assignments including two interviews and an album review. So, we will see what I can get done. Here is a picture of Robert Plant in action. Patty Griffin is playing guitar in the picture as well. On Mandolin is Darrell Scott.

A to Z: Kiss it goodbye!

After a little touch in go and Florida my folks could kiss me good by. I headed it west to the Wanee Festival. A great time but a little remote my cell phone roamed a lot and blogging via Android didn't work. However, it was nice to get away from it all. Limited cell phone, no PC...just a chance to chill and hear some awesome live music.
