This city is known for it's amazing music. This theatre is famous for blues. We saw the Handy Awards (like the Grammy's for Blues) here back a couple of trips ago. But this weekend was a little more mellow. The house band at BB's was a rocking funk band they played some classics including two songs that are guaranteed to get me on the dance floor--Brickhouse and Play that Funky Music. I tried out some of my new bellydance skills-just slipping them in where they fit. Couple of guys bought me drinks--that was fun. Gretch, Smokey and I had a lot of fun snarking on white folks who can't dance-- no matter how drunk they are. Really it is kind of embarrassing--you know the white guy shuffle? Girls in heels shouldn't do that--not so much. Found a new CD--you know me wherever I go funky little indie bands appear--This month's special selection is one of three volumes called Fried Glass Onions. Check out insidesounds.com if you are really interested--it is a bunch of blues artists doing the Beatles--right up my alley. I picked up mine at the Center for Southern Folklore where we did NOT get to see Daddy Mack play.
