Vintage Trouble : Ty Taylor's Birthday Party

Looooooooook What The Wind Just Blew In.........

It was a celebration of Ty Taylor's birthday.
The TroubleMakers turned out in big numbers preparing to dance and drink and have a good time. "Good times" was the night's theme and we all rocked out til we were sweaty and the band ran out of encores.

The year is starting out big for Vintage Trouble with the announcement that Doc McGhee will be managing their career's direction; first stop - the UK.

Opening the night was blues-singer/r&b diva Gedina (pictured at the bottom of this post).

We'll do it again next Tuesday! See you then.

Thanks always to Vintage Trouble - Ty, Nalle, Rick, Richard and Charlie!
Shout-out to The Troublemakers!!

Harvelle's : Ultimate New Year's Eve Spot

Ringing in the new year at Harvelle's seemed like the right way to start off 2011. The music, the people, the patrons, the staff - everyone is there for a good drama-free time. And that's what they deliver. Yes, there's party favors and a champagne toast at midnight, but you can get that anywhere. What makes Harvelle's special is the live music.

This year Guitar Shorty, Jimmy Z (sax, harmonica, vocals), Kirk Fletcher (guitar/vocals) and Jeff Young (keys and vocals) formed a sort of blues supergroup with power to spare. They rocked the crowd until way past midnight with the crowd still cheering for one more song!

Well now, we've all got another 365 days ahead to make some changes, change some vices and maybe pick up a few new ones.

You never can tell.



Happy new year to all the readers of this blog.
