No note, just a book on the Mississippi blues masters. Without going into the details on all the recent connection points, the karmic messages are blowing my mind lately.

My sis’ first concert was Kiss in I guess 76 or 77. She still talks about it. You HAD to be there, I’m sure.

Q, if you can clean it up to protect the innocent, I have a feeling the BB King concert has a story attached. C already promised a forthcoming story on the Stones in New Orleans.

Feidt’s Follies is a big WP camp follower, you may see him this fall. He’ll probably make an appearance back here when Thursday pickin starts back up.

As for the Crue, you just had to be there at that time. They blew the roof off.
