Moving towards winter
It's been decreed, and the local dumb ass TV stations are practically drooling over the panic possibilities of snow falling around the city. We walked, had a hairdo event, and an early dinner.
Nice musical sample on a public TV station, the Eric Clapton Guitar Festival held in Chicago this summer as a fundraiser for something or other; many amazing guitar slingers featured, including Stevie Winwood at the end. Jeff Beck was also astounding to watch, and he had this really young female bass player who cut quite a figure and played her little digits off. She looked about fourteen, and made wonderful "bad ass" faces while she performed. There's a DVD set out there of this event, which in reality lasted 11 hours; the TV show was a small taste. Bill Murray emceed, and was kind of funny, in his peculiar way. My mother liked B.B. King and Jeff Beck the best.

You really cannot NOT like B.B. King.
We've got, I guess, an older Crossroads guitar fest thing from a year or two ago on DVD. I always love the jam at the end of those shows where there are maybe eight certifiable guitar gods on the stage at the same time.
Oh, I have to keep my eyes open for a repeat of that one.
