Like an old friend

Brian May performing at a recent concert with his protege, Kerry Ellis, whose debut album, judging from this concert, is disappointingly bland. She belts, but I don't get a lot of soul from her, usually. What I do love is hearing that Red Special scream out at the beginning of the clip. It makes me squeal like a dolphin.

Back here, too!

The move to North Carolina really did throw me off, but I've found a little time to play guitar lately. I've been looking for group lessons, something like Chicago's Old Town School of Music, but I haven't found anything yet.

However, a friend did send me this:



Pretty cool, huh? He's actually coming to Raleigh in February, and I think I might check it out. I was kind of bewildered as to how he could fill the main venue in Raleigh, but looking at the way they describe him, I think the uke playing appeals to all the bluegrass/folk people around here.
