Currently it
is set to play when you select a song. Enjoy.
Welcome to my blog!
This weblog is an online journal. If there
is a "mission" it is to generate interest in the local music scene. I attempt to do that by attending events and talking
about my experiences in occasional posts.. I do not intend to offer criticism .. I am not a musician. I do highlight
those artists that put on a bigger and/or better show and the artists that "move me" more but even those less polished are
offering something to Long Island patrons and I'd like to see more patrons out there enjoying the good local talent.
You will find a log of my few weekly experiences. My "angle"
may be different in some ways, hopefully. I sometimes see things differently. I hope my perceptions offer some
insight on occasion and some humor.
I expect that this conversation will reveal a life that appreciates
blues. I see "blues" as musical-artistic expressions of human conditions.
I also like to provide links to other things on the web that I
find interesting. I will be commenting on the places I go to hear music and the folks I meet. I will be commenting
on the things I see and hear on Long Island and elsewhere. As much as I hate politics I may find it hard to resist commenting
on that too.
This is a personal, creative endeavor so
if there are some mistakes, well, sorry... it's free entertainment. I consider myself something of an impressionist as
it pertains to style. I am human and sometimes speak /write before I think. I can get into
trouble with these extroverted tendencies but thats why this is...what it is... a journal. I hope you find
some useful information or something entertaining on occasion....thanks for being here!!!!
Keep scrolling down for more posts and the Calendar. There is a menu of other pages as well.
There's a lot goin on around in the personal life here and it has shamefully taken me away from my
blog thoughts. These moments of chit chat about the fun stuff are usually renewed by my friends and acquaintences
telling me about good shows or by me enjoying a good show or place and wanting to share it with my friends. I have not
had as much of that. I have been interrupted by the damn realities that reach up and grab me and sometimes do not let go without
some violent shaking or something equally or more dramatic happening to un-funk me. There have been multiple bad funk
moments including workquakes and marriageshakes. It has been unfortunate. That happens.
To be honest I did have a good Wednesday night this week. I should say here again that Wednesday is my night
to go exploring on this island for live music. I know it is not a great night to be exploring but I have found places and
people.
One place, that I have mentioned often, is Schraders in Lindenhurst. It is now called Lefties. Last
Wednesday night there was not only a nice crowd but there were a few good singers. It is an open jam for the most part. There
are often singers and guitar players in multiples. This time there was a female singer with a guitar for company and they
did some clever and not boring original stuff. If they come back and do that again I will have a name for you. If not it is
still worth checking out. The guitar blues thing is skillful. I enjoy the rock/blues numbers...and there are many by the regulars,
Arthur, Ray and some other stringpickers.
I would like to mention some Nassau news. I don't go to Nassau often during the week but I went and heard
some really(really) nice music in Baldwin one recent Sunday night. There is a place caled Oasis Cafe on the north side of
the tracks(Baldwin train Ste.) and it is a great group of musicians. Singers, guitar players, horn, drums...all that
good stuff. They welcome new players too but I would think one needs to have some considerable chops to say yeah to that
offer.
I heard about a place in Rockville Center on Wednesday nights called Reflections that also really
jams. I may be checking that one out this week. Anyone in?
I'll make changes to this site on a regular basis, sharing news, views, experiences, photos...whatever occurs to me.
Check back often!
