Unless we are contacted by a group of activists that have damning, video evidence, Thirst N’ Howl will be returning once again to Cody’s South this weekend.
It’s party rock people. Songs you know and love to dance to.
Rojo says; “If you can’t dance to this, you ain’t got feet.”

An absolutely gorgeous, sunny, Sunday morning in the Ozarks. My birthday actually, 44 years old-not old for a tree as they say. They also say that you are only as old as you feel. I feel….about 42, I guess.
As I was perusing through the newly written blog selections, that come to my attention, in the morning, courtesy of the old Google reader, I found that my friend, Mr. President, at Textual Relations, had bestowed me with this honor.
Thanks Pres, it’s always nice to be recognized for Excellence. By always, I mean that it’s never happened to me before and I’m giddy; just giddy!.
I have been advised that, as the receiver of this honor, I must comply with strict blogging statutes-the “Share the Love” and the “Promote Your Fellow Blogger” statutes that appear prominently in the code of conduct.
To this end, it is my honor to bestow Excellence on these ten fellow bloggers. And, it is now their duty to do the same.
I listened to the Beatles “Love” album this weekend.
I had some pre-conceived notions about it as I have heard some people (all musicians) saying it was terrible. I think the objection is one of tampering with something “sacred”.
The record was conceived as a soundtrack for Cirque du Soliel.
George Martin and his son Giles produced it and much of what they do involves editing the original tracks. I think the editing factor is what offends some folks which, to me, is a little odd because there was a lot of George Martin editing happening on the original versions. Back in the day it was splicing tape, now it’s copy and paste.
Anyway, I was at a friend’s house and I got to hear to the 5.1 surround sound mix. I listened to the whole work, beginning to end, one time through. I found it very enjoyable and entertaining. Some of the stuff may work a little better with the dance but all in all it’s fun to here this music in a new light.
I spend a lot of time in the recording environment and sometimes it’s difficult for me to detach and not just pick apart a mix. Also, I haven’t listened to a lot of surround sound so I perk up when I hear little studio tricks. There are a lot of studio tricks involved but for the most part they work (with the exception of some superfluous sub-woof stuff). The thing is, none of those tricks work if the original performance isn’t solid.
I could see how someone who never heard the Beatles could listen to “Love” and want to explore the original records.
