If you don’t know how we came to see California Guitar Trio (CGT), you didn’t read my previous post.
Last night was a typical evening for us at BB King’s. We had excellent seats, and thoroughly enjoyed our meals, including a fabulous chocolate martini for me too. Yummy.
CGT is three guitarists who are each individually amazing, [...]
When we saw Charlie Daniels Band on Saturday, October 20th, 2007 at BB King, I noticed that the following Sunday (8 days later), a group called California Guitar Trio (CGT) would be playing at BB’s. I didn’t link any of the above, because this posting isn’t really about any of them, but they’re responsible for [...]
There were two recurring themes this week, long-lost friends are seen in person and serendipity in everything we did (sometimes related to long-lost friends, sometimes not).
In this post, I mentioned our long-lost friends from our vacation in Vail in 1987! That kicked the week off, so officially, it began on Friday evening at dinner.
For many [...]
Last night, Lois and I saw Kathy Mattea perform at Joe’s Pub. It was a minor odyssey to make it all happen…
Since we regularly frequent Joe’s Pub (as loyal readers already know), I read their regular email newsletter reasonably carefully, to spot performers that we already know, as well as attempt to discover ones we [...]
The last time I wrote about Wicked, we were close to calling it our last time, given the disappointing performances of the two leads.
Two people whom I don’t know commented on my blog (one is rare enough), and one, Vickie, pointed out that the Elphaba lead was going to change to Stephanie J. Block. I [...]
Well, the notes say it all…

additional entries that I can use on any future Sunday. In
addition, I also came in the money in two other qualifiers,
and made a [...]
Last night, Lois and I went to BB King’s to see the Charlie Daniels Band (CDB). In the past, I’ve mentioned that Lois is a huge Country music fan, and that I have (happily) come along for the ride. The truth is that I have loved CDB since I was a teen (their first album [...]
I’m a complete sucker for sitcoms. Even stupid ones make me laugh. Yes, I can distinguish between a good one and a horrible one, but like I said, even most horrible ones make me laugh.
Unfortunately, the same isn’t true for Lois. She really loves to laugh, and there are some sitcoms that can really set [...]
Nothing more to say other than my notes taken during tonight’s big tourney…

Flop came 5JK rainbow. Small blind and I were the only two
