I'm sure she said that last year

I forgot to post this one. Earlier this month when I worked for Judy Collins at The Parkway Theater in Minneapolis. 84 years old and her voice is still as strong as ever. Earlier this year she released her 55th album although this was her first album of completely original songs,

I had the good fortune of working for Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets this past weekend at The Turf Club in St Paul, Minnesota. They performed two sold out gigs. Nick was in fine form.

Worked for Tina Schlieske (lead vocalist for Tina and The B-Sides) for her annual birthday show at The Dakota jazz room in Minneapolis. She did two shows. Probably the highlight of the evening was when we had Elvis impersonator, Anthony Shore surprise Tina by singing Happy Birthday to her

Absolutely gutted

Worked for Rodney Crowell last week Fantastic show. Although it went on a bit longer than anticipated. The folks certainly got their money's worth with a 2 & 1/2 hour long show

I worked for Los Straitjackets the other night. They frequently tour with Nick Lowe these days. However they're currently on a mini tour with Jake La Botz and his trio as support.

Herb Alpert is the same age as her.

Last night I worked the show at the VFW in Uptown Minneapolis for The Delta Bombers and Supersuckers. Fantastic show as always. It was just my 2nd time seeing The Delta Bombers, I first saw them when they were touring with Reverend Horton Heat a couple of years ago. and it's probably my 5th time seeing Supersuckers.

Since I'm working at the show and won't get close to the stage while they're playing, I did however get a photo of Reverend Horton Heat during their soundcheck at The Fine Line here in Minneapolis

Last night I worked for The Scarlet Goodbye for a rooftop show at The Hewing Hotel in Minneapolis. TSG did one set, then we were treated to a set by Mini Smog (a scaled down version of Golden Smog comprising of Dan Murphy, Kraig Johnson, Marc Perlman and Tim O'Reagan) with Dan Murphy switching to drums for a couple of songs. Then back to TSG to close out the evening.

I'm working for Jimmy Webb tonight as he performs a selection of tunes he wrote or collaborated with Glen Campbell

Dickie Harrell, original drummer for Gene Vincent has passed away at the age of 82

Run Westy Run:- Hardly Not Even

Kirk Brandon of Spear of Destiny was taken ill last night. He's expected to make a full recovery. The cause of illness has yet to be announced.

I jumped at the chance to work the gig for Subhumans tonight. It's been nearly 30 years since I last saw them.

Perhaps for next year we should replace Rolf with Stuart Hall.
