Saturday Music Opps

7-9 p.m.
Just back from the Buddy Guy tour, Tom Hambridge and the band are performing a special show in Nashville at BB Kings. Good stuff. You'll definitely want to take it in if you can!
BB Kings
152 2nd Ave.
Nashville615-256-2727

AND, after Tom's gig, I think I'll head over to the Mercy Lounge to catch:

Starts at 9 p.m.
You'll love Paul's band, wit and charm. I usually leave his shows musically inspired and exhausted from laughter. He's a riot.
One Cannery Row
Nashville, TN

I'll be there... well... everywhere I guess!
Let me know if you want to join me.

DON'T FORGET: Big gig tonight...

We had a great rehearsal at our house last night. I roped JTC (drums), Hubert Knight (bass), Kiwamu (a.k.a. Josh) Stewart (acoustic guitar), Steve Cirvencik (electric guitar) and Cat Miller (background vocals) into playing. They are all top notch and I'm very thankful that they agreed to be a part of the "Roundabouts".

You definitely won't want to miss our gig tonight if you can help it. It's 45 minutes of nothin' but BB and the Roundabouts AND it is going to be a blast.

Song line-up:
- Sometimes Love's Not Enough
- The Forgotten Ones
- You Can't Get It Back
- Gotta Get Up
- Don't Love You Anymore
- Quit Your Bitchin'

Be prepared to sing along! (Especially on Quit Your Bitchin')
If all goes well tonight, I might just take this show on the road!
HA.

Hope to see you there.

1:30 - New product demo
2:30 - Project meeting

Today:
NO MEETINGS. I've blocked off my calendar so that I can work on all of the things I talked about getting done in all of those meetings over the last two days. AAAAaaaaaaahhhh.

The only commitment I have this rainy day is "Jeanne & the Roundabouts" rehearsal at 7 p.m. And that sounds like tons of FUN not work.

I say we all declare this day the unofficial "No meeting day."
In fact, I may do the same tomorrow... then it will be "the official unofficial no meeting day."
Deal?!

Most Expensive Zip Codes

Forbes published an interesting list of the most expensive zip codes in 2005.

Notice, TN, SD, NE, IA, WI and MN aren't in the list.
Whew!

Just thought I'd share.

This is what 36 burning candles looks like.
OMG.
Do you think I'll need to call 911 to get these out?

BB and the Roundabouts

Hey... I just realized that I haven't invited you all to my gig on Friday night at the French Quarter Cafe.

No... this isn't BB in-the-round.

It is BB with a BAND.

Here's the scoop:

Friday at 7:30 p.m.
BB & the Roundabouts
Performing on Jack Scott's Writer / Artist Showcase
French Quarter Cafe
823 Woodland Street
615-227-3100
No cover.

I'd love to see you all there.
The show lasts about an hour, so it won't be a late night... unless you want it to be!
Drop me a comment if you think you can make it!
Bring some friends... strangers... whatever.

Nashvegas traffic post

This is a GREAT post about Nashville traffic at BJ's Random Nonsense. Love it... so I had to share.

For those of you not familiar with Nashville roads, not only to they intersect each other multiple times (I mean the same streets criss-crossing each other) they also have multiple names and some are even complete circles (OHB). Once you get used to it (it's taken me almost five years) it's not so bad. However, when I first moved to Nashville I felt like I was driving on another planet. Nothing made sense... oh yeah... and no one knows how to follow the rules of the road either.

Crazy.
