“Just a White Boy lost in the Blues” (John Mayall) – Chicago style, that is!…. Having a great time in the Windy City, takin’ in the sights and especially the Blues Sounds….. Here’s a couple of great Bluesmen I had the honor to see perform live since I’ve been here, and, if you’re Blues inclined, [...]

A couple of news items from local Oklahoma City broadcasts…… Apparently, Forbes magazine has rated OKC as the most “Recession proof” city in the USA….. My outlook on it, as a local resident, is if you’re already “recessed” as far as you can go, it would be hard to “recess” any further (Ha)….. Right on [...]
If you’re in Chicago, you gotta check out Bifunkal. They are an extremely impressive duo. Bifunkal’s music is a blend of Progressive Rock, Funk (duh), Reggae, Pop, and more! Both the guitarist and drummer employed live looping for greater presence. The biggest surprise though is the drummer, Hershyl Edwards, “played” bass with his voice. He [...]
