Van Halen almost bows out

Van Halen just had to change it's show date in Milwaukee and other shows in the Midwest. They are still coming to the Bradley Center, just later in April. Eddie Van Halen had some health issues, but he's going to be fine. I have never been to a Bradley Center show. This will be my first huge Rock and Roll show in Milwaukee.

Minneapolis Music this weekend at the Arcadia Cafe

The very first time Steve Haskin, Don Sellers, and Terry Storhaug played together was during the Art-A-Whirl festivities in Northeast Minneapolis. Terry would turn his shop into an art and music mecca for the weekend and Steve, Don and Terry decided to jam together. The musical chemistry was explosive and people listening wanted to buy their CD and then were stunned to hear that they had never played together before. That's no surprise, because the talent was there all along. I'm going to catch these guys March 7th in Minneapolis at the Arcadia Cafe.
The above mentioned write up was pulled from the tcmusic.net website.

Playing on a boat


The Iroquois, a boat that tools around Lake Michigan while its passengers drink, has upgraded its deck. The boat is in its second year of having live music play during its voyage. The success of the Iroquois is more about the ride, and less about the music. None the less, it's an interesting thing. Performing on a boat is not something that every musician can say that they did in their lifetime. I heard great things about the ride though. A coworker took the "taco ride" as she put it. That was a night of boating and Mexican food. She loved it.
