I also noticed in the paper today that Percy Sledge is playing at the Cypress Bayou Casino. It just never stops around here!

I admit I like vinyl & everything... but these live shows are the best! I'm goin'!

also, the new orleans jazz fest and fest international (free!!) are coming up this spring.

music is live!, alive... and well, in Louisiana.

you should see some of the zydeco bands!!

Beats the shit out of Croydon UK LOL......

I mean who wants warm weather, a vibrant economy, plenty of records and Irma Thomas, Barbara Lynn and Percy Sledge on their doorstep?

Oh, hang on, what's this? Karaoke night at the local pub - I take it all back..........

I'm psyched about seeing Barbara live...

Barbara Lynn put on a fabulous show at last May's festival in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Incredible. And she was really sweet too.

Hermon Hitson, Ralph "Soul" Jackson and Barbara Mason playing in Austin tonight - and also at the Ponderosa Stomp. Charles Walker still gigging with The Dynamites (I think they're heading to Europe sometime soon?). Wiley & the Checkmates are doing the thing right now, writing new soul tunes that sound great, and of course, the Dap-Kings always put some soul into their funk. I think there's plenty out there for the American soul fan who is paying attention. Maybe not every week in every city, but it IS out there.
