November Football Post 3

Writing wise I have a lot of things going on this month. I actually attempt to slow it down a bit but you all see how that is working. I'll be back with a few more reviews. I'm covering a concert and a play this weekend. Like always there is more. On to football...

Fantasy Football

After a very bad start I am riding a very long winning streak into first place. I was helped out by Justin  Blackmon's 49 point game and Rob Gronkowski who had a 25 point game but broke his arm.

NFL

Well the Jaguars almost won. They fell to Houston in overtime 43-37 to insure they have a losing season. You can read the recap here. Below are some highlights..

College Football

Who knew Kansas State and Oregon would both lose? Oh well here is my latest college rankings. The college teams I covered both won. The Florida Gators shut out Jacksonville State. The recap is here.

Georgia Tech beat Duke. You can read that recap here as well.Here are some highlights from that game...

Rankings, recaps, highlights..a bit of everything.

My Interview with Rhonda Vincent

It's been a while since I've done an interview. Well I am back with a new one and my first one on DC Metro Theater Arts. I interviewed the Queen of Bluegrass Rhonda Vincent you can read it here.

If you are anywhere close to Brunswick, MD check her out in concert this afternoon at 3. I f not look for new tour dates in 2013.

Well I will probably blog more about her real soon so stay tuned...

The Outlaws, Tommy Castro, and the Kenny Young Band

Last Friday I covered this concert at the Weinberg Center for the Arts. It is probably the best known theater in Frederick, Maryland and finally I got to go there. I like older, historic theaters so it was a treat from that stand point. The Kenny Young Band warmed up the crowd, Tommy Castro did what he does best and The Outlaws headlined. You can read my review here.As always I try to add a little extra so here are some pics I took..

Here is Tommy Castro in action that night...

He also brought a friend Deanna Bogart...

Then there was the Outlaws..

Still adding more here is a clip of The Otlaws performing  at that concert on 11/9/2012:

Crimes of the Heart

It's been a while since I covered a regular play. I've been covering a lot of concerts and musicals. However, it is nice to switch gears every now and then plus it gives me something new to blog about. Well I got to see the Sandy Spring Theatre Group's production of Crimes of the Heart at the Arts Barn in Gaithersburg. It is a neat venue with the crafts on display downstairs and the intimate theatre upstairs. It is a great place to watch a play or musical.

You can read my review here.The production continues through the 18th so there is still time to catch the show. The acting is fantastic.

I pulled a clip off youtube of another production of the play so you can get a feel for it, if you are interested...

Anyway I will be back soon with a new post...

Woody Sez

When I went to Theater J in Washington DC to see Woody Sez: The Life and Music of Woody Guthrie I was not expecting to see the same cast, the same director, the same show that ran on London's West End. The West End is London's equivalent of Broadway. Bonus! I picked a great show to see on my anniversary.You can read my review here.

Here is the real deal Woody Guthrie:

Here is the cast of Woody Sez:

Here is how they closed out their London stay with some bonus music:

More videos are up on the review. It was a great show with a very talented cast...

Veteran's Day

Most years I write a Veteran's Day blog I've said thanks a million times. I support the troops, sailors, military men and woman. I don't always support the politicians and diplomats who put them in harms way. I respect them and thank these brave men and woman. Some of these folks are my friends, fraternity brothers, so my caring goes even deeper.This time I wanted to show some clips and show why I am thankful for Veterans.This is why they deserve are respect.

Here is the Coast Guard performing a recent rescue..No matter politics you have to respect these folks putting themselves in risks to rescue people...

Here the Marines help people recover from Sandy...

Here Army National Guards make a rescue in New Jersey...

Here the Air Force delivers supplies to help with Sandy...
