What a great night of rock and roll!! The evening started at 7:00 PM with a young man named Jake Haldenwang. He is a 13 year old guitar player from Charlotte, NC. You can tell he is a fan of blues plus a little Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. He has been playing for a little over three years and with some more time and practice under his belt, he will be quite an artist.

Next up at 8:00 was Tom Hambridge and the Rattlesnakes. If these guys come to a town near you, do yourself a favor and go see them. They are a rock solid band of great musicians with great material. Tom has a website and a myspace so check him out. He has a new album out called "Boogeyman" that Susan and I listened to on the way home today. Great stuff!! I love the song "Corndog" and if "Shoebox" doesn't get to ya, then you don't have a heart.

Then at 9:00, Webb Wilder and the Beatnecks took the stage. Joining them on drums was Nashville studio great, Greg Morrow. I have heard him on a bunch of albums, and it was a joy to see and hear him play live. He can waylay a set of drums. Webb and the guys were in fine form going out over the airwaves of WRLT live. Webb sang and played great. I marvel at his quick thinking and wit during the adlibs between songs. The ultimate show man! Bob Williams was....well......awesome!! This guy impresses me no matter how many times I see him. Great to see you and Mrs. Williams again Bob. Tom Comet RULES as the master of GLAM PIZZAZZ FUZZBASS!! I thought a couple of times he was gonna wring the neck right off of the Longhorn. Incredible as usual.

We missed ya Jimmy, but I am sure you know your spot was in good hands. See ya at the Down Home.

P.S.- My favorite quote of the night was from Greg Morrow. While tearing down his drum kit, he said "I think I could eat everything in a Waffle House right now."

I actually posted the review above, so don't think Susan has multiple personalities when you get to the part about Tom Hambridge's CD. Susan had logged in earlier on my computer and I didn't notice it.

uh huh
so, which of her personalities do you like the most, Tony?

The one that doesn't call me a pudgy faced applejohn.

that was gonna be my guess
