I guess we were scheduled for a concert that has been canceled. I hadn’t heard about the gig until reading the cancellation article by the Capital Times.

No worries. Clyde and the rest of the band are doing great. I’m not sure what happened regarding this gig, but we’re still playing every Monday night downtown at Madison’s. And we’ll be playing more gigs this fall. Stay tuned!
This blog article does a nice job summing up the various types of frontman personalities you might encounter if you go see (or play in) a band.

The author defines just ten types, but I would suggest that there are more. For instance, the More-Jock-Than-Talent-Singer (maybe found in metal bands), the Always-A-Half-Step-Flat Singer (nuff said, right?), the Egomaniac (who often fathers more kids from more women than a rabbit in a rabbit farm).
Either way, these Top 10 are definitely a good start. Maybe you can post your own list? Enjoy!
Simply amazing! I love this song and these artists. This was released a few years before I got out of high school and these artists and this groove still embody what I love about music from the soul combined with super bad ass musicianship.
R.I.P., Michael Breceker. You changed the tenor saxophone forever…
It turns out that Belleville, Wisconsin can put on a terrific music festival, in addition to it being a great cycling destination and surprising dinner destination (ala Belle Bleu).
This year’s Belleville American Music Festival (BAM Fest 2008) proved to be a great event with two days worth of very strong performers. Hopefully, the town and organizers of the event will do it again next year.
We were fortunate enough to play an early evening spot on Friday with Jimmy Voegeli, The Crashers and the Clyde Stubblefield Horns (in this case, Alex Leong, Chad Whittinghill and myself). We performed original music written by Jimmy Voegeli and recently released under his album “F is for Blues,” featuring a CD cover with his middle school report card and the “F” he received in band. Who would have thought then that he would go on to become one of the best piano and B3 Hammond organ players I’ve met?!
A music loving photographer, Lon Mickelson, was kind enough to steer me to his web site (www.twincityblues.com), where I could download the photos he took during our performance. Here is a collection of some of his photos. Thanks, Lon!
