Fun on the Web Aug 30 2014 Busy Week

So aside from work being busy I had four Meetups this week.One was book club where I talked them into reading a book I already have planned to read (and have on my nightstand). I also agreed to go to the movie of the book we just read in a few weeks. The other three Meetups were dinners.

Monday night we went to the only restaurant in Wisconsin with its own farm Parkside 23 where I had the Braised Short Rib Sandwich, which was terrific. They offer a Farm Supper with Beer and Wine Pairings but its too rich for my taste but I will go back again sometime,

Wednesday night was Bang Bang Shrimp at Bonefish Grill/ That is a special spicy shrimp menu only served on Wednesdays. Once again this was a Meetup  so with people I may not know well but we get better acquainted each time we meet.

Friday is Fish Fry in Wisconsin so I was at am old favorite The Gasthaus, one of the Weigerber places. I have been there many times but not lately. It was delightful as always.
http://www.weissgerbergroup.com/gasthaus/

I left there to pick up my grandson who was hanging out with friends so it was a late night after driving both ways. Now I am contemplating what I am doing for the rest of the holiday weekend. I have been watching old "Behind the Music" VH1 videos but I did pick up some videos at the library. Maybe that is tonight/

Fun on the Web Aug 23 2014 Jeff Healey

This young man was an amazing guitar player and had often taken on a trumpet or keyboard too. He developed a unique style of playing perhaps due to being blind for most of his life. (He suffered from a rare for of cancer at 11 months old.) He plays his guitar flat on his lap and started playing when he was 3.

Discovered at Albert's Hall by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert Collins, he was signed by Arista Records in 1988. He and his band have sat in with Blues Royalty including The Allman Brothers, Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy, BB King, ZZ Top, Steve Lukather, Eric Clapton, and many more.

I first became aware of him in the 1989 Blockbuster movie Roadhouse where his band played in the cage at the roadhouse. At that point in his career he was focused on playing blues although his local radio shows often concentrated on jazz. His collection of 78 RPM records exceeded 30,000.

This is a full length televised show (over an hour) in Canada "Much Music, Big Ticket" that sponsored the recording so the quality is very good, There are some special guests who jam with the band too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKpFl17mO18&list=RDCKpFl17mO18

A full album "Live in New York City" 1988 is offered here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20G3nwTDR1w&list=PLDNkcWWFClMFO4Sbyp5eV8Mg6xJeHTvgu

51 Minutes at the Canyon Club in 2000 with a lot of tunes I never heard him play anywhere else. The video is not the best quality but the sound is fantastic!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7J0d6u2Z4jk&index=3&list=RDCKpFl17mO18

In 2000 Jeff turned his sights on Jazz with his Jazz Wizards and recorded 4 albums as well as touring with them. Jazz is not exactly my thing so I really can't comment but I was glad to see he also continued to play blues.

In 2006, although Jeff was already battling sarcomas, the band played the Notodden Blues Festival. (The largest pure blues festival in Scandinavia.) This is also a professional recording almost an hour long playing with Dan Noordermeer on guitar, Al Webster on drums, Alec Fraiser on Bass, and Dave Murphy on harmonica, keyboard and vocals.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5Qb-6Qkmlw&list=RDCKpFl17mO18&index=2

Jeff passed away in early 2008 at the age of 41. "Heaven just called another blues stringer back home."

Even though he has been gone 24 years his music lingers on. I thought I had seen all there was of SRV until last night when I stumbled on these:

The first is a VH1 Legends episode

The second is a May 9 1990 NOLA Jazz Fest not 4-29-90 as the title would suggest

Fun on the Web Aug 20 2014 Kids Visit

Well they have come and are leaving in the morning but I am just exhausted. Not enough sleep too many nights in a row. Grand to see them but I am too pooped to participate. They are out there playing games and I am headed to bed. We were out in the fresh air taking family pictures tonight. I'm anxious to see how they turned out.

Fun on the Web Aug 14 2014 Work

So between working more hours and commuting more hours, I am just really tired all the time. I came home last night and couldn't face leftovers. So I called a friend and we we went out to dinner,so now I have ribs planned again. Yum! Its not that the cooking here is bad its just so repetitive. No fish or pork (except bacon or sausage) and ground beef is most often the mainstay.

I do try to mix it up when the picky grown-ups are not here, with pork chops or a beef stir fry. If I can get the grand kids, they will try new things. Recently I worked with the oldest on pan frying fish from scratch. The boys ate BBQ ribs pretty well and they seemed to enjoy them as much as the roasted chicken I made.

Joining two Meetup groups and eHarmony is my attempt to acquire some social life since I really was pretty isolated traveling and working in a different store every day.Living in small town Wisconsin didn't help either. It has been interesting so far but no love connection yet.

Meetups is far more successful with events most days ranging from dinner to book club to walks. Saturday is a Chalk Festival. If you have never seen one take a look at this years winners from the recent Pasadena Chalk Festival event that my niece participated in once again.
