Gainesville Trip

We had to go up to Gainesville for the Tennessee game at Jamie and Rae’s.  We managed to see Mike’s folks, and Summer Duke, too!

Grocery Store Outing

The wife’s pregnant, and she needs milk for breakfast in the morning. We’re out of milk. It’s 9:30, Sweetbay’s not closed yet. I’m off.
The first thing I head for’s the milk, because I know where it is. I rarely shop in this grocery store. I’m usually at the dirt Publix [...]

Warren Haynes Joins Junior Brown at Wanee 2008

It was Friday night of Wanee Fest 2008 when Gov’t Mule was into its second set back at the main Peach Stage. Though I’d been dancing my ass off with the Mule and cherishing every second of this experience, I knew but one thing: I cannot miss Junior Brown.
Truth be told, Junior was [...]

Wanee Fest 2008 – Junior Brown and Warren Haynes Jam

Photos from Wanee Festival – 2008 – Live Oak, Florida. I do not know the names of the guys in the campsite jam photos except Tony Tyler, the blonde headed fella on the right side. That dude could PLAY, folks lemme tell ya. He reminded me of a young Trey Anastasio. [...]

Southern Culture on the Skids at Skipper’s

My first SCOTS show…. amazing!

Southern Culture on the Skids is an amazing band, and we got to chat briefly with them after [...]

Lawnboy

I met a dude on Youtube, who lives close enough for me to drive to his house and pull off ridiculous antics like this.

Chester and Chuckwagon Ride Again

So Mike and Chris are talking again – as is Chris and Jim. All sorts of good old friends coming out of the woodwork lately.
Mike and I were in New Orleans on 9/26/99 for this photo at Cafe DuMonde. We were there for a Phish show, which we saw at the University of [...]

Buddy Guy – Orlando 2/17/07

Pardon the shaky hands – it was fuh-reeeezing. Oddly for Orlando, the weather was ice cold, and you can tell by my shivering camerawork. Buddy was spot-on with this free concert coinciding with the First Annual Orlando Blues-BQ. Food was a little undercooked and all they were serving was 16oz Miller Light [...]

Berlin Debut

These are from, kid you not, my first time playing out. It was in Berlin a few years ago, at a historic bar about a block from Checkpoint Charlie near the Wall. It’s called The Oscar Wilde Bar and was the first place people would go to have a “free” beer in West [...]
