"Can't Buy Me Love"

Who says you can't buy love? Well my darlin' did. I got the CD and DVD "LOVE" for Valentines day. Yes it's another compilation and there are no new songs that were tucked away in a basement somewhere. The DVD is an audio disc and the only photo is the one on the left. I rushed to put it on and skipped through every song hoping to catch some pics or even a video or two. Just more of the picture on the left. The audio quality is a noticeable difference than that of the records of old. It's a great album for the collection. Oh and by the way, "Can't Buy Me Love" is not on here.
Check out the "Love" website, it's a great companion for the CD/DVD set.
Moving on to the local news, Dani's American Idol run has come to an end and she has written a book about it, lol. Check it out here. So with that behind her, it's back to work and here we go. Wednesday morning(2/21) we will be on "Live at 9" on channel 3 in Memphis. Wednesday night we playing at EP's Delta Kitchen on Beale Street. Thursday we are back at the Shanti Steakhouse in Collierville. Last time at the Shanti was a big surprise. The crowd was large enough they had to turn people away by the time we started playing. Thursday night is our acoustic show with Dani, Zack and me.
Don't forget to look for AFKAS. He will be on TV somewhere.

Christmas Holidays

Ok, so I say to a friend of mine, "I'm gonna stop at the Hallmark store and pick up a copy of Michael McDonald's Christmas CD". I get there and cheap out on the whole idea 'cause you gotta buy 3 cards (my darlin' buys all the Christmas cards, which had been done and sent already) before you get the album for 8 bucks. So check this out, it went gold in 2 weeks. Now I want one even more. Someone's gotta bring one in the Shanti Thursday night.

Made plans for New Years eve? You can find us downtown on the main stage on Beale from 10:20 to 11:20. Not getting out? Tune in to channel 5, they're going to be catching a song or two while we're on.

Happy New Year!

Shanti Steak House

Oh don't look surprised. Danny Cole, steak house owner/guitarist sat in with us on a Janis Joplin tune. Maybe that's why the look. Where have I been? huh? Where've you been! Thursday nights, check it out.

Alright, let me catch you up. Wednesday the 23rd, Dani and the band will be on "Live @ 9". It's on channel 3 in Memphis.
Same day later on, Fried Glass Onions II is due out.
Saturday the 26th, downtown at Isaac Hayes and Wednesday the 30th, we're at the Complex on Madison. We'll be performing with "$7 Sox", "So She Sang" and "Mad City" on the filming of a pilot for a TV show. Ya gotta make that one, you may be on a music video or even on TV.

And now, days gone by. Huey's was a hoot and we'll be back first of the year. Last week-end, I performed my first wedding. Not my forte, but I held my own.

News to me: Rundgren is fronting "The Cars" reunion and oh yeah,
CONGRATULATIONS to Billy Gibson.

Dani @ The Shanti

This is the last Thursday at the Shanti for awhile. We bring our acoustic stuff for this one. The music starts about 7. Danny(the owner) cooks up some great steaks w/ a recipe he's served for over 20 twenty years. So bring your appetite and enjoy a night out with Dani.
Keeping an eye on the calendar, we're at Isaac Hayes Club Saturday night(Oct 1st). This one's the plugged in version.
Oh, and don't forget AFKAS.
