Well hi there…
It’s me... after one of those long abscences. My apologies. I really shouldn’t do that to you. I get so caught up in wondering what I should be doing that I forget to be doing the things that are the most important. This being one of them. So I got off my ass and...
the Slippery Noodle
Our detour to Indianapolis sent us to the “Slippery Noodle” this evening - Indiana’s oldest bar... with blues music 7 days a week... We caught Tony Cheesebourough with a stripped down band bass, guitar and keyboard... Reuben on keyboards was quite amazing... and Tony...
Nashville… and then Indianapolis!
So... we couldn’t find a hotel in the Nashville area (or witihin a 30 mile radius!) for tonight (well especially not one that suited our budget!)... what with a marathon going on in Nashville and what seemed like some major dog show (we kept seeing people with fancy...

Getting to Atlanta
Well we are in Atlanta... left Lexington on Tuesday morning and made our way through Kentucky to Knoxville... the weather looked like it could get wet when we started out so Knoxville was the point at which we would assess the sit’chiation and decide whether the...
The ʻBlues Tripʼ Begins…
Headed out at 5:45am… it′s almost 8:30pm and we are chilling in our hotel… the Microtel in Lexington Kentucky… watching bad tv after having a fine dinner… takeout from the Bob Evans retaurant. Sipping on a Kentucky ale… brewed at a local mico-brewery… and purchased at...
