Random happenings.

There were a few things going on last weekend around here..widely separated as they were.  Wild Cherry was partying at the Eagles Club in Grand Rapids, JuJu5 was in Marble, Atlantis was in Hibbing, and as a surprise, since I didn't find it listed anywhere, Tommy and Alan Dowling were jamming at the Wilderness Pub, and sounding great there.  I managed to get to the Eagles and to the Wilderness on Friday, and spent $75 for cab fare (when I drove cab here that would have been a 45 dollar fare..and that was only a few years ago)..maybe this is one of the reasons people aren't going out too much lately.  I know it's one of the big reasons I'm not making three or four places a night anymore.  What with the recent closing of the 4th Street, and another venue talking about quitting live music, travel is becoming necessary to see anyone, it seems.  With that in mind it's interesting to note that recently a music bar opened in Duluth with music 4-5 nights a week, and another is in the process of opening in Minneapolis.  The one in Minneapolis is being opened by a couple of friends of mine and of the Weekly Musician..folks that helped us with the Blueberry Jam and the first Summer Jam.  One of them was working on opening the same kind of place here..along with myself and Mike Webber..when financing and lease problems shut down that endeavor..so it's nice to hear that the new place is in line for a 'soft' opening the first part of July..food and music on Lake and Lyndale..if you get to the Cities, stop in and say Hi to Dave and Mike..and check out the start of their website here.  If you take a look toward the bottom of the page, you can see that they have a killer sound system, and, just as important from a musicians standpoint, a venue designed exactly for this..a greenroom with an elevator directly to the stage, and a bunch of other stuff designed just for live music.  Sure is nice to see that it continues somewhere, isn't it?
