Well, I gathered my courage and submitted my application to b5 to be a professional music blogger (”This is no dress rehearsal. We are professionals and this is the big time” Waylon Jennings). Congrats to Shooter Jennings and longtime girlfriend Drea de Matteo, even though the folks at the maternity store on Madison Ave apparently leaked the info without their approval. Drea’s rep confirmed, but I think everybody should let them enjoy this time privately. And Happy Birthday to Shooter!! WooHoo, that man do rock! Anyway, back to the subject at hand, I submitted my application, so we’ll see what happens. I talked to my buddy FeloniusMonk, and am planning on checking out the Cosmic America show Saturday night at Springwater with him and Scootch. He and I are going to get together tomorrow, as he has a pile of photos for several bands that he needs to have emailed out, so I am going to work with him on that.
Honky is playing in ATL this weekend also, Friday 5/23 at Star Bar. They are an incredible balls-to-the-wall rockin’ band from TX–check out . I LOVE these guys!!! Want to try to head down for the show, this $3.15 gas is killing me.
Also, not to be missed–tomorrow 5/23 at 12th & Porter, Danny Flowers CD release party/DVD shoot for his latest release, Tools for the Soul, a gospel/blues mesh that moves the body and the soul. For some background on this incredible writer and artist, check out . Everybody says, he wrote “Tulsa Time”, which he did, but he has also written songs covered by Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Nanci Griffith and others, and has played with greats such as Vince Gill, Marshall Chapman, and Dobie Gray, among others. He is an amazing writer and musician, and the album includes appearances from Rodney Crowell and Emmylou Harris . No telling who might be up on stage tomorrow night….. Several years ago, when I worked for Sprint PCS, he was one of my regular customers, and was a helluva nice guy, always sweet, polite, and laid back. Believe me, that says a lot in my book!
So I guess the plan for tomorrow evening will be to get some work done with Leaper, and then head over to 12th & Porter.

I think that is a FABULOUS idea! If you need a good tat artist I know one.

Hmmm. Let’s see. I don’t think I can offer any suggestions here in public, which probably means they wouldn’t be suitable for inking. How about initials of all of your babies? And a tiny little mustang.

I’ve studing on this, and have several ideas. I just to get everytbody to chime in with their thoughts and suggestions–you never know where that may take you. I’m thinking the Kanji for Fire Horse, a cross, a rosary, the Ford Mustand emblem (pony), maybe a Polish flag, something to do with the kid’s initials…….They’ll all be pretty small, though, so it shouldn’t look gaudy.
