Minnesota State Fair Concerts

Every single year we go the "The Great Minnesota Get-Together". We see the cows and the pigs and the food that takes years off your life and have a great time. Personally I enjoy people watching, how many "Im with stupid" t-shirts I can count and how many people I can count that have a mouth full of teeefers. Its always fun!

:-)

This year, in addition to my little people watching games...I have a couple of great concerts to go to.

AUGUST 28th- Allman Brothers- w/robert randolph band .

I commented to some of my music buddies that this would be one show that I would have to see if they came to the Twin Cities. You all know about my Gov't Mule thing...and Warren Haynes does double duty for the Mule and the Allmans...so its the best of both worlds for me. Also, Derek Trucks is one of my fave. young guitarists. He is also in this band. They put on great shows at this stage in their career and they will have my rapt attention!

UPDATE: Purchased tickets this past weeked row 26 in front of Mr. Haynes!

AUGUST 30TH- B.B King, Al Green, Etta James

I love Al Green and have seen him once before in the late 80's and have yet to have the pleasure of seeing Etta and BB live. How can you go wrong with this lineup! 3 legends that can still deliver and not make you cringe. I am in the 15th row center for this one! Cant wait!

Agility Video. ( this one is less clinical)

Last video on syncronized dog chasing. I have to admit, this video makes this sport look kinda cool. It must be the White Stripes song Orchid ( one of my faves) and of course the sheltie. They do look like they love doing this.....that is why I enjoy it so much also.

Agility Video

For all of you that have wondered what I was talking about when I referred to my Agility Training with Reggie. Here is a video of a Sheltie doing it the right way, Reggie and I are not quite as smooth as this pair...but we are getting there!

MEMORIAL DAY

This photo was taken at the Vietnam War Memorial last year. Lets hope this war ends soon and all of the people that are putting their lives on the line for us return home.

The Jackson 5 - Who's Loving You

michael as I like to remember him.

Tired Of Being Alone - Al Green

One of my favorite Al songs...check out the suit!

Alice Cooper Elected

Alice at his peak!

alice eighteen- 1972

love this video. Alice is drunk ( duh) but captures the angst of the song very well! A classic... kiddies!

TOM JONES- WITH THESE HANDS 1965

I am a sap for a good love song. ( dont tell anyone!)

I have been listening to this song since I was a wee lad! Enjoy!

MORE COWBELL!

Love this! Yeah its been played to death, but still funny!

1st video post

Black Crowes Cursed Diamond

I posted lyrics to this a few months back. Removed them because they seemed a bit too heavy :-). Now you get the pleasure of getting to hear and see the song!

I am going to be posting more of my musical faves!

Hope you enjoy!

To All Mothers:

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

A retraction

Please note:

In my last post I reported that Kyle Petty had not finished in the top 20 all year. After many phone calls and angry emails, I must print this retraction. Jeff, I am sorry. I was waaaaaaay out of line and must extend my most heartfelt apology.

Kyle Petty finished in the top 20 earlier this month. Today he finished 25th. But that is beside the point. :-)
