Here is where I'm planning on going Saturday night at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa for the Rock Never Stops Tour.

Cinderella/Ratt/Quiet Riot/Firehouse

Will bring back memories of the 80's

Tonight, it is the Remastered "Brothers in Arms" by Dire Straits...

Crickets on "Ride Across the River" so life-like, you close your eyes and you are transported to sitting outside in a grass covered field at dusk.

that sounds like it will be a fun concert Randy, not my cup of tea, but those are some of the better hair-metal as i understand it.

The last couple of nights i've been listening to some new purchases - British Sea Power, the Mark Inside (Canadian), the Dead 60s and some good ole' Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic. Unfortunately, I'm at work now and they are playing Honeymoon Suite on the radio.

If it's all original members I would love to see Ratt.
Cinderella would also be cool. I could care less about Quiet Riot but Firehouse had a few songs I could hum along with.

Due to the tragic events taking place in N.O. and Mississippi I decide to listen to Robbie Robertson's "Storyville" his second solo effort after leaving the Band. The cd is steeped in both the music and the lore of New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz and home to many of the R&B masters who had been a primal influence on Robertson and the other members of the Band. I know lyrics can be translated in many ways but I was chilled when listening to the seventh track called "Shake this Town"

I see the people standing on the shore
I see the big chief standing on the shore
I ask my mama what they're crying for

I saw a black cloud hanging in the sky
I saw a big black cloud hanging in the sky
I ask my papa when will it roll by

chorus:
Come on brother we gonna shake this town
Come on sister we gonna shake this town
Come on children we gonna shake this town
Down to the ground

Can't draw no water no more
From the drinking well
Can't grow no corn out here on my land
We're at the mercy of the government man

Then I followed you, followed you, we did pray
How can you promise me, promise me
Come what may
Where you gonna turn to on judgement day

Oh we're standing on the edge of the world
Oh we're standing out here
On the edge of the world

Repeat Chorus:

That's the story

That last line "That's the story" is part of the song not my comment. I got goose bumps when it came on. My heart goes out these people. I think the government was a little slow to react. I feel drinking water could have been air dropped in. I mean they did that at Woodstock for crying out loud. But I am heartened to see things are moving a little faster and momemtum is picking up.

Randy,
Speaking of Diana Krall; my wife was on Vancouver Island for a business meeting this week and who should be sitting next to her in the restaurant: Diana Krall & Elvis Costello. Robin (my wife) gave them their space however after dinner they became quite chatty with my wife and her business associates. Sounded like a fun time but my wife forgot the autographs!!!!!

The other nite, I fired up iTunes on my Mac Mini and listened to Leela James. LOVE HER! The Mini is connected to my receiver via USB and the M22's are powered by a tube amp. (Yes, blasphemous mix of digital and analog, but it sounds fantastic to me.) Also finally gave my new (used) Project turntable a spin w/ In Flight by George Benson.

I love this bluesy track, A Change is Gonna Come:

Leela James
