James you live in paradise, hope you take a pic of the babies! Speaking of photos, is that a canon lens cover I see there on the table? I have a canon rebel XTi that I've sure gotten a lot of enjoyment from. I love photography so by all means always share your day/photos!
And that goes for everyone, if you take photos, share them, reading a good book, talk about it, listening to new tunes definitely SHARE IT!
Obviously music is just nearly my entire world. I travel to so many shows and I've been so fortunate to go to some of the concerts and events that I have.
Blues fans may know about Honeyboy, I was at one of his last public appearances in Clarksdale, MS before he passed away, and would not take anything for those photos. He was the last living delta bluesmen that knew and played with Robert Johnson up to the night he drank poison whiskey and died.
I've followed the blues trail markers quite a ways in my quest to see and learn all I could about the blues. I've taken some awesome photographs in the delta and met many great musicians and damned fine people.
So share what you would like to here. Any kind of music is welcome cause here at the coffee shop we like to mix it up so everyone hears a bit of what they like.
On this day in music:
1965, The Beatles released their fifth album and soundtrack to their second film ‘Help!’ which included the title track, ‘The Night Before’, ‘You've Got to Hide Your Love Away’, ‘You're Going to Lose That Girl’, ‘Ticket to Ride’ and ‘Yesterday’.

Anyone reading a great book? I am reading Buddy Guy's autobiography, "When I left Home". It is great so far.
Before this I read Gregg Allman's autobiography, "My Cross to Bear" and it was good, but since I had read a biography about his brother Duane called "Skydog" first, I already knew a lot of the childhood/early music years info.
The book before that was Keith Richards autobiography, "Life". I highly recommend this one, especially if you are a blues fan. After reading it, I had a whole new love for him, he is brutally honest and blunt about everything.
Anyone going to an upcoming concert/show or getting ready for vacation? We are going to a soul/blues event soon in Las Vegas and I am counting the days!!
Ok after typing all that I need a good toke. Just pulled a caramel ice bud out of the dwindling way too fast jar... its kick ass for a free seed with purchase.
