That sounds good.

I am listening to a bunch of California songs;  Mamas and Papas and others.  I am thinking about my trip and wishing I was just leaving : )

I just added the app Pandora to my iPod touch and wow!! so much music. I even found  Mike Hucknall song, "Father up the road" I love how here did his version and I also like Bobby Blue Bland, I love blues and R & B, Most of all  Gospel. I also added Pandora to my computer so I can listen while i'm on line. Elenne

Hi Glendaann,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.  Haven't been on here much in the past couple weeks.  Thanks for all the trivia facts on Johnny Winter.  Very interesting.

I've seen Susan Tedeschi on her own at the Jimi Hendrix Experienced concert and I've seen her husband Derek Trucks in concert as well.  I've yet to see them together but hope to one day.

We are going to see the Drive By Truckers on the 1st of October and on the 16th a blues band from the area called Siegall-Schwall Band.  They are very well known in Milwaukee and Chicago.  On the 13th of November we will see Dawes.  They are a young band from California and were the opening act for Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (also from California) whom I first saw on the David Letterman show.  They came to Milwaukee and sold out the theater.  We liked the opening act too and when I found out they were coming back but as an opener I had to get tickets.  The venue they are playing at is very intimate and the tickets are only $10.00.  We have two places here that have $10.00 and $25.00 concerts on occasion. 

Thanks for telling me about the book on Johnny Winter.  I will have to keep my eye out for that one.

Hey there Janese.....Wow, you get to go see a lot more people than I do. I did get to "hear" Susan T. She was playing an outdoor festival here and we had parked and were walking up. The closer we got the better I could hear the music wondering who was doing that wonderful singing. I wanted to run, but my man wouldn't so she was leaving the stage just as we got within viewing range. Lucky you! 

I received the Johnny Winter book and have already read it. It explained a lot about gaps in his career and why he wasn't promoted better. I've always been a "hard core" Johnny fan so thoroughly enjoyed the book. The E.C. book is next on my list.

I'm familiar with Drive By Truckers from their appearance on Austin City Limits and ironically Ryan Bingham (Crazy Heart-The Weary Kind) who I'm now into was on the same show. Full length video of the entire show is available on PBS.org./video, then under Programs, Austin City Limits.

Keep letting us know who you go to see. If I can't go, I like to hear who others are getting out to see. If John Nemeth comes your way and you like R&B try to catch him. He's another young excellent singer and harp player ....not coming to Okla.

Oh yeah. My daughter got 3 tickets for Carrie Underwood who will be here in Oct. I know Carrie Underwood's name and thats it other than she's country. Is it possible I'm the only person in the U.S. who has never seen American Idol? Daughter told me I AM going! 😉

Hi Glendaann,

We try to see as many as we can but money is always a factor.  I would have loved to have seen a lot more people this year but the tickets were way too expensive.  It's nice that these venues have $25 and $10 concerts.  Some of the acts are fairly well known and some are just getting started but it's a nice affordable night out and who knows one of the acts may someday become major stars and I can say I knew them when. lol

Sorry you didn't get to see Susan but you may get another opportunity one day.  I will check out the Austin City Limits video.  I must have missed that one.  I have my DVR set to record all the new shows.

Sounds like you found the Johnny Winter book interesting and informative.  Let me know what you think of the EC book after you've read it.

Never heard of John Nemeth but always willing to listen to someone new.  I'll definitely give him a listen.

Does anyone ever get caught up in a song they have to listen to over and over again? I'm currently listening to this one by Delbert over and over and over. This is as close as I could find to the album version which doesn't include Marcia Ball.
