If my heading seems to indicate that I'm excited, well, I am. The last time, singers like Brandie Lane, Carol and her crew, and a newcomer Herb, blew the lid off the place and delighted the packed house.
Today we'll Sing In The Sunshine on the outdoor stage. The canopy is up and the patio is dressed for company, so come out and party with us at Woody's, adjacent to the post office on Main Street in Clayton. I'll be your MC... playing dance music, Karaoke backgrounds and surely a few hot tunes with the spoons. And if you ask nicely (as "Q" did last week) I'll even show you how to play them.
Hope to see you there... from 6:30 p.m. 'til closing!

Rumor Has it that Rumor Hazit...
Well, what a time we had at Rumor Hazit in Clayton, GA last night! Steve and Lisa McAdams a.k.a Mountain Hoodoo performed their unique blend of mountain folk music in a style all their own, and the crowd was very responsive and appreciative. It was obvious that they made some new fans, as they always do when performing live events. They graciously asked me to sit-in with them on a few tunes and we stirred up a little crowd reaction, and had some smiles.

A little "catch-up" is in order...
Well, since my last post soooo much has happened...
First, the A. Mitchell Powell, Jr. Public Library hosted an evening with the Rhythm Chef in March, and a fun time was had by all. Congrats to those who won prizes for "almost remembering the name of the song Sugar Blues" LOL, and for most accomplished spoons student!
I auditioned for Who's Got Talent, at the Smokey Mountain Performing Arts Center, and was one of 24 selected to compete on March 23rd 2010, and it was a total blast! A wonderful female vocalist won by giving a stirring performance of one my all-time favorite songs At Last , originally made famous by Etta James. The entire experience of being in the "green room" with so many exciting entertainers was an experience that was unique and fun. The folks at SMPAC were delightful to work with, and they made is all feel like stars.
America's Got Talent held their preliminary auditions in late February, and I decided to quiet the encouraging throngs who have forever prodded me to try out, so I did, and I'm glad I did because it was so much fun.
I've also finally started a Blues band!!! (No name yet... any suggestions?)Some of you know that it has been a long-standing dream of mine to play drums in a blues band, but I didn't even dream as big as what has come about. I am privileged to play with seasoned pros who have blues running through their veins, I'm sure. I can hardly wait to take our original songs into the studio so I can share them with everyone. Some of the songs I'll play to with the spoons, and some on the drums (Roland TD4 Electronic Drumkit.) We're just rehearsing songs, and developing new songs, at the moment, but I'll let everyone know when we have some definite gig dates scheduled.
