^^^ That "awful lounge act witch?" It's all make-up. Her name is Lera Lynn and if you ever see her in person (I caught her act at The American Music Festival from about 10 feet away), you would be shocked. In real life she is stunning -- drop dead beautiful. So much so that my wife wouldn't allow me to take her picture. Oh, and she is a talented singer and songwriter too!

Long drive to Indianapolis and back today!

^^^ Deano said at the end of the show that they are playing "somewhere" on August 19.

^^^ Wow. Should be great. Have fun. I caught Johnny's other band, The Waco Brothers, last week at Fitzgerald's. Great show.

^^^ The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago had an incredible Bowie installation at the end of last year. Stunning both visually and aurally.

Well written, excellent piece. Thanks for posting. I couldn't get "Ronnie and Neal" out of my head while reading it!

^^^ How do you like the new Tame Impala? I loved Lonerism.

The Waco Brothers.

The first real concert I ever attended was Yes (in the round) at the International Amphitheater in Chicago in 1977. I saw them again in Champaign in around 1979. Loved Yes in the 70's then quickly moved on and grew out of them. Chris Squire was an incredible musician. RIP.
