Big Weekend . . .
In addition to our events - Acoustic Blues Jam, and Phelan Park
Do Dah Day is this coming Saturday, May 17.
In looking at the lineup, there are a number of “Blues/Rock” bands playing. One can’t miss band that I highly recommend is Anders Osborne out of New Orleans. The Radiators are also playing. Anyone who has ever attended Jazz Fest is familiar with this party band. I also see that Tim Boykin’s Shame Idols are also playing. This is not Tim’s Blues band, butt he is such a good player, I will list him under “Not Necessarily the Blues” butt very entertaining. Check out http://www.dodahday.org/ for more info.

Auctions
Christie’s is auctioning some guitars. Several Gibsons (I saw a Les Paul from 1960, a 1938 D-28 Martin, etc). There are some Fenders as well. The nicest guitar is a 1928 Hermann Hauser Sr. (Wonder what it sounds like).
Also for the fiddlers in the crowd, a circa 1700 Stradivarius (the one known as “The Penny"). Expected to go for 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 (that’s dollars, not pennys). It ain’t Ebay, but still.

Is you is or is you ain’t
One of the greatest songwriters ever, the late great Townes Van Zandt said “There are only two kinds of songs: there’s the Blues, and there’s zip-a-dee-doo-dah”.
