chartzog — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 03:07:18 +0000

Here are some pic’s from my latest show on that real rarity of a date “10-10-10″ today at a memory care unit. A nice staff member volunteered to take some photos for me, so here you go. I had a much bigger crowd this month compared to last month. It must be because today [...]

Buddy Guy – Hoochie Coochie Man

chartzog — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 14:10:04 +0000

Here is my video of Buddy and his band doing Hoochie Coochie Man on August 17th at the Tulalip Casino amphitheater in Marysville, Washington. The radio stations don’t play blues like this anymore. If you don’t like hearing the “F” word, you probably shouldn’t watch this clip because Buddy likes the F word a [...]

Went up last week to see Buddy Guy with Robert Cray opening in concert. We really had a perfect August summer evening for the concert in a pretty intimate venue at the Tulalip Casino ampitheater in Marysville, Washington.

Hear ye, hear ye: Woodinville Concert Band’s Spring Concert will be this Sunday, May 17th at 2:00 at the Redmond Performing Arts Center. Yes, I know it sounds kind of ironic that Woodinville’s band is playing in Redmond…but I guess you could say we are “on tour”, or maybe Redmond is Woodinville’s sister city? [...]

Woodinville Concert Band

Here are a videos for couple of the songs I liked the best from our concert on Saturday evening. I picked these two of course because I am naturally biased towards the lower end of the frequency spectrum and I felt these had the best bass parts. Yep, that’s me on [...]
