Tough loss for the #NATS today. They blew a late 5-1 lead with poor pitching and sloppy defense. They open with the Dodgers on Friday. #MLB

Today In 2020 - Bill Withers died from heart complications at age 81. His hits include “Just The Two Of Us,” “Lovely Day” and “Use Me.” His ballad “Ain't No Sunshine” earned him his first Grammy award.

I made a dark chocolate almond bark. Dark Lindt chocolate and roasted unsalted almonds.

Last night I made a Chana Masala with basmati rice and garlic naan. My first attempt. It turned out really good!

Exciting news for Roomful of Blues! #Blues #SupportLiveMusic

I'm watching some old videos of the band Chicago. Terry Kath was such a great guitarist and singer.

Just purchased tickets to see Franz Ferdinand in Boston in August. They put on a great concert. #SupportLiveMusic

Willard had a great personality. We always looked forward to seeing him on local TV in the DC area. He eventually went national, but kept close ties to his native Virginia.

Guitarist Little Charlie Baty died March 6, 2020. Harmonica player Rick Estrin has continued with the Nightcats band name. *promo pic signed by the musicians after a 1996 performance at Fort Smith, Ark.

In less than 1 week our temps in RI will increase by nearly 40 degrees. 🤪

I was sad to hear about the recent passing of John Hammond Jr. I always enjoyed his concerts. This photo is from 2015 when John received a BMA for Best Acoustic Blues Album called Timeless. RIP. #Blues

Tom Principato is releasing his first studio album in 13 years. “Twangin’!” is an all instrumental electric guitar album with a mix of styles including #Blues, #Gospel, and that tele sound from his days performing w/Danny Gatton & Roy Buchanan. Pre-orders are now available. www.tomprincipato.com

I'm seriously getting tired of goodbyes. John Hammond (November 13, 1942 – February 28, 2026) #SundayBlues www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTs6...

A great opportunity #Blues fans in/around Palm Springs, CA to catch @lauriemorvan.bsky.social and her terrific band. #SupportLiveMusic

A photo from our garage in poor little Rhode Island. It's a lot for our snow blower to handle.

A great opportunity to #SupportLiveMusic and take in the sounds of Andrew Duncanson tonight at a great room in the Bay Area. #Blues

Several opportunities to catch the great Tommy Castro and his band. #Blues #SupportLiveMusic

Tiny Desk concerts are fantastic! #NPRMusic

Magic Sam’s birthday. Here at left with his uncle (Arkansas-born bluesman) Shakey Jake Harris (R). This is from Bob Corritore, he wrote “unknown woman,” but it looks like Magic Sam knew her. 😀 youtu.be/-OlA_JVbQl8?...

This is a great song.

Chicken Enchiladas and black beans. Buen provecho!

#Orchids are blooming throughout the house. Vanessa cares for them like children. I just stay out of the way.

Today would have been my parents 68th wedding anniversary. They got engaged just 3 months after meeting, and were married 3 months after that. This is one of my favorite photos of them ~1959.

This is a great tune.

Fun article. I worked my way into a few gigs when I was under age. It certainly is a right of passage for music fans. Jimmie Vaughan's first B.B. King gig | Guitar World

He was so talented. His music went relatively unheard for many years. He's been gone for nearly 60 years, but I'm glad his music continues to live on.

RIP Sonny. You were a great representative for the franchise and for the DMV.

Tonight! A great opportunity to catch @solroots.bsky.social and his terrific band in Alexandria, VA. The 219 Restaurant serves up some terrific Cajun cuisine. #SupportLiveMusic

I first met Ronnie Earl when he was the guitarist for Roomful of Blues. I believe it was 1982. He continues to perform and we're very lucky to see him fairly often in New England. #Blues #SupportLiveMusic

If the #Wizards trade rumor for Anthony Davis (and others) is true, I think that giving up 2 first round picks and 3 second round picks for a 33 year old is way too much. Plus, he's often injured. The Wiz would keep next year's 1st round pick and would need to hit in the top 3. #NBA

Another great opportunity to #SupportLiveMusic TONIGHT at a fantastic room in Rockville, MD. The musicians and the great team at Hank Dietles will certainly appreciate the support.

Thanks @terrybuckalew.bsky.social for sharing this terrific entry you published about the life of Cedell Davis. You continue to teach this old dog something more about the history of the #blues.

Even if you're #bowling for the first time, basic instincts should tell you that there's one fundamental rule of etiquette. 🎳 🙄

Seeing a show at Rosa's Lounge is on my bucket list. Maybe Jimmy Burns or Billy Branch! #SupportLiveMusic

I never saw Little Feat with Lowell George. Waiting for Columbus is one of my favorite albums. The live recordings were made in 1977 and the record was released in early 1978. Lowell died in June 1979 in my hometown of Arlington, VA in 1979.

Thanks for posting. He was super talented.

Fun article about the writing of "Take it to the Limit." Inspiration came following a night at The Troubador in W. Hollywood. Any of my fellow #music lovers see a show @ this iconic room when so many greats were cutting their teethi? How a Night Partying at the Troubadour Led Randy Meisner to...

An interesting interview about K-12 education as it relates to media literacy.

It's going to be a weekend of comfort food. We started this morning with challah bread cinnamon french toast.

Good morning from Rhode Island where it's currently 4 degrees. 🤪

Cold weather tips for pets. NB: *Knock on your car hood to check for cats (which may have climbed up inside for warmth)*

Curious what fellow #NATS fans think about the big trade. #Nationals #MLB Rangers receive: LHP M. Gore NATS receive: SS Gavin Fien (now Nat's No. 5 prospect per MLB Pipeline), RHP Alejandro Rosario (No. 11), INF Devin Fitz-Gerald (No. 12), OF Yeremy Cabrera (No. 17) & 1B/OF Abimelec Ortiz (No. 24)

We had a nice light snow overnight in northern Rhode Island.

Great Lexus commercial during the Rams vs. Bears game this evening. Spinning Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue." It was released in 1959 and was recorded in just 9 hours over two days! #Jazz #NFL

I would bring in Davis Mills for the 2nd half. Stroud has looked terrible the last two games. #Texans #NFL

I am very excited to see this! I have planned hundreds of meetings for the library field and have a deep affection for #Librarians. They do amazing work despite budget challenges and unnecessary obstacles.

The Bills made several mistakes yesterday and still had a chance to win. But giving up 10 points in the last minute of the first half just can't happen. Their fans have endured a lot. #NFL

It will be nice to have the #Commanders back in DC. The rendering of their new 70,000 seat (roofed) stadium looks amazing. Opening is planned for 2030. #NFL

Fun evening in NOLA last night. This lady was in town...and Trombone Shorty got the audience even more energized!

I've arrived in the Big Easy for a week of work. Dozens of heavily armed National Guard members are hanging out together along Canal Street. Disappointing to see and a huge waste of resources. Let these folks return to their civilian lives.
