An Old Young Man

Josephine (The Immigrant) and I met a lovely couple at brunch. Yes, this tends to happen. Part of the conversation was our new friends asking me about this show. You could sense the eye rolls coming from all over the place when I decided to tell it like it is.

Also, Jeff and I spent some time with Kyle Roberts. A young man who moved to Memphis to get closer to the music scene. He's one of the most improved artists I have encountered and a great conversationalist.

Everybody Gets The Blues with Goodson & Taylor

The International Blues Challenge is behind us yet again. It was a large time. I was down there for a couple of the days and managed to bring home a slight case of the Beale Street Crud. Not before enjoying some of the best music in the world performed by some of the best musicians in the world.

Representing Memphis in the Solo/Duo category was Goodson & Taylor. Jeff and I sat down with them just before their appearance and we got a good lesson on songwriting, performance and the real difference between an original tune and a cover.

The Show That Didn't Air

New Year's Eve was an interesting night for those of us down in the studio that night. We had set up for our usual end of the year party. We had a few friends in the studio, we brought in our long time friend, Zeke Johnson to play and tell stories. Overall, just another subdued celebration.

Not so much.

Comcast had an issue. We were knocked off the air. It would be after 1:00AM local time before we would be back on. Or, so we were told.

Dianna Fryer and I decided to say, "Whatever." and recorded what would have been broadcast.

Here it is. The New Year's Eve Show That Never Aired featuring Zeke Johnson.

Getting Bent with Liz Kinnmark

Memphis is known as a music town. That is a large part of the arts here in this city. There is also a whole sect of entertainers here that are straight up performance artists. Liz Kinnmark is one of those types of entertainers.

She's a pole dancer.

"Oooh." You might say.

No.

She is clothed.

At least during this interview, she was.

Plus music from Low Life Leakers.
