Great show at Bluebird last night

The Freedom Sings 1969 show at The Bluebird Cafe last night (10/21/09 was wonderful. Got to sit with some of my favorite people, John and Maureen Organ, eat a Prime Rib sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries, and then hear some great music. Don Henry kicked it off with Games People Play, backed up by the whole band including Dave Pomeroy, Craig Krampf, Danny Flowers and Bill Lloyd, as musical director. Some acts played solo, or at least stripped down, like A. J. Croce on Yesterme, Yesteryou, Yesterday from Stevie Wonder. Mark Volman of the Turtles did a passionate Jim Morrison cover, Danny Flowers channeled Jimi Hendrix, Beth Nielsen Chapman sang Sly Stone, and Jonell capped off the evening with a raucous version of Put A Little Love in Your Heart. Erika Wollam and the staff of the Bluebird are keeping the place going well. Nice new back door, after an unsuccessful break-in. Elliott Duke was dealing with the frozen AC system, so I felt right at home.

Thanks to Ken Paulson and the First Amendment Center for a wonderful night.

Attended class on blogging at CNM this morning

Great class at CNM this morning, though instructor Sam Davidson always  makes it look easier than it is. Or maybe I just don’t pay good attention. Soon I’ll know how to make my page look nice, and how to upload my photo (which has already been rejected once). I’m in the thick of the Digital Media classes at CNM now, and have already improved my Facebooking.
