Really Boring Stuff Only

[strube]

I've found it's better to be in a small venue than a large stadium usually. Something about being personal with folks makes it great.

But to answer your questions I don't think Miley Cyrus is talentless. I think she just performs a different taste in music. Not yours or mine, but the next generations. Every generation has it's own stuff. I don't understand it, but then again I'm a terminator kid.

Oh I wasn't saying I would enjoy it as much in a stadium. I have been to countless concerts across many genres and would say absolutely that I prefer smaller venues.

And I can say with complete objectivity that every artist I have seen this weekend has more talent than Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and all of the other Disney Channel Mouseketeers. They are more like well-marketed products than musicians...

also wondering why RJ in belittling himself coming to this thread....

He's got 84 posts and counting in this thread. This isn't his first time.

Eh, we all crave a little fast food now and again.

My bad. I forgot to put the smileys on my post.

That there is seriously good music...and I'm seriously jealous. S.T. and Derek Trucks are great. Didn't Derek play at one time for ABB?

We get nothing but crap bands out here in the boonies...Indian Casino circuit of Wayne Newton, etc. Although...we did get to see the old man, Charlie Daniels last year. He can still rock & roll!

To Wikipedia! I knew he played for ABB for a short time, but I don't know in what capacity.

I would consider this the boonies as well, for sure! We are just fortunate to have a very dedicated organizer and blues musician who is from here, so he put the whole thing together.

Jonny Lang was last night, and then before him was Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers, and this amazing 14 year old girl, Micaela Rae, plays the hell out of SRV. It was kind of unbelievable. Earlier today we saw Reba Russell, Blind Dog Smokin', and Eric Sardinas & Big Motor.

This Gino Matteo guy is a great guitarist and half the artists have had him show up to jam on a tune or two.

So far my favorite has been S.T., but everyone has been great, really. I am excited to see Derek Trucks Band and Carl Weathersby, as well as Gino Matteo's own band tomorrow.

Much better than modeling gas turbines all weekend, I'd say.

I get that a lot.

I could tone it down, but I don't know how.

Not as much as I should be...of either one.

As an aside, Paradigm has updated those speakers I will never be able to afford.

It is too bad, too, because they used FEA to design them.

Come on, now. You and your wife are going to have great jobs. You (and by that I mean "she") might decide to spend the cash on other stuff, but you'll have the coin for those.

Hmmm. I wonder what color we're at, now.

All these talks of blues festivals and myspace links have given away my precise location. So much for paranoia.

You already told everybody where you went to school. It's cool, man - you haven't given out any more info.

Haha! That is outstanding - and you are pretty much right on.

I think at least a few people hit red with that FEA talk. That is the best chart ever.

Oh wow. I am a freaking geek.

Well, that...or Google.

I did? Hmmm. I certainly don't recall, but you would know best.

So much for paranoia, AGAIN.

 

[Adam]

Well, I thought that you did. Maybe I just figured it out from the other info that you mentioned. Internet stalking.

"Internet? I'm outside your window."

Jamie! What's up, man? How's the tour treating you?
