Pretty petunias party at the ZOO!
Oh yeah, the Bellflowers were back at the ZOO on Thursday night trying to keep the snow a way with some hot country tunes. I know I saw the light when Kristin picked up that singing saw.
C'mon guys put out a CD.

4020 stopped by the ZOO with a little wild ass country music on Saturday. Tractor power gets mesured by drawbar pull. I expect these boys pull a little more than their John Deere namesake. They got a new album too.

Well, I've been fighting a cold for the past couple of days, and mostly it's been winning. I think I'm getting the edge though. I only coughed about a million times instead of a billion, and the snot is down to drips instead of gallons. I'm staying home to keep from spreading it around.
The boys were back for three, count 'em three, big nights. Some great western soul music. Everybody dance! Times a wastin'.

Well as usual over the holidays, I ate too much, watched too much football and didn't get enough exercise. Now I need to get back in the saddle, but my butt won't fit. Guess I need to walk around a little first.
The Blues Messengers came on down to the ZOO on Thanksgiving to keep us awake after all that turkey. Perfect antidote to tryptophan, and apparently there were some people who wanted to dance off a few calories.

We got some snow today, so I guess winter is officially here for a couple of days at least. It's supposed to get above freezing, so it probably won't last too long though, and that's fine with me. I like a little snow just for variety, but I'm not that big a fan of having it pile up too much. ---gk
Well, I'd say bringing country music from the East Coast to Lincoln is a bit like carrying coals to Newcastle ... whatever the hell that means. It was certainly worth the effort though. We all had a great time listening and dancing.

Slim and the Workers were workin' hard at the ZOO on Wednesday night. We all appreciated some great music to get us over the hump. If you got careless and missed out, you can get yours at:

I do wish they'd left all that cold up in Canada!

Yep, the boys were back in Lincoln for two great nights of Blues and Soul. I'm assuming they drove a Chevy, but I didn't see the car, and they're still singing that song, "I Need Me a Car." Don't get me wrong, because I ain't complaining. I love that song.

They got all kinds of fun stuff like CDs and shirts.

Well, the bad news is that the boys let us know that they're going to be taking a break after the first of the year, but that's a long time off, and we had a really great time at this FAC. AND, you can still get the CDs from the websites.

Little Charlie and the Nightcats
entertained the ZOO bar crowd with some hard driving blues on Tuesday evening. Dance 'til you drop. It's all good.

Long Lasting Local Legends
The Resonators
Most of these people have been around Lincoln music almost as long as I have. They still know how to make some noise.

James Solberg was back at the ZOO to show us all again how to play the guitar. Ain't nobody better. The two time W.C.Handy award winner makes it look easy.

The BELLFLOWERS an electric group of local Lincoln musical maniacs lit up the ZOO Bar with some great classical country. A great group to hear and Mindy even tricked me into dancing one time.

The band was back at the ZOO for another great Thursday night show. You know you should have been there.

I got to thinking about my childhood the other day and came to the conclusion that we really did live way out in the sticks. You know you ain't living downtown when you consider the howling of the coyotes in the evening a significant source of local news.
I got my bike back from the shop yesterday, but now my phone company died. I was using Sunrocket, and they just decided to go under and dropped service to all their subscribers. Fortunately, I was smart enough to have a monthly contract rather than a yearly one, so I won't be out much money. Currently I have no phone though, and I have to go through the hassle of getting a new service.
The Blues Messengers - Featuring Miss Anna DeGraff
This band has always had a ton of musical talent, and adding Doug Rosencrans on guitar only added to that. He makes it fun, and his guitar style blends really well with Anna's vocals.

The Tablerockers were back in town with Earl Cate helping out on guitar, and Josh Hoyer playing some sax. Always a good time with these guys.

I broke the chain on my bike this afternoon while I was out. Fortunately it happened just as I was passing the bike shop where I usually get my maintenance done. Unfortunately that place was five miles from where I live, and it was threatening rain. I did get a little wet on the way home, and I was too tired to go down to Stransky Park and see the Blues Messengers. They're playing in a couple weeks at the ZOO, so I'll get my fix then.
The Weary Boys
The boys were back at the ZOO with a new banjo picker, but it was the same blend of great music, everything from blues to bluegrass. They've got a new album due shortly.
