Hello again! On the latest episode of Tried and True Thursday with Miss Mini, I decided to focus on Woodstock. I have been fascinated by this festival for some time and wanted to delve a bit deeper into how and why it came about. I won’t say much about it here because I did sayContinue reading “Tried and True Thursday Feb. 5, 2026 1969 WOODSTOCK”

Tried and True Thursday Jan. 29,2026
Hello! In this episode, I played the music of the 50s. There’s some good insight here about the history of Rock & Roll and some other things. What I really like about doing this is that I get to learn new things and share them with the audience. I am still very much a teacherContinue reading “Tried and True Thursday Jan. 29,2026”
Festival Fever! Wake Forest, Tarboro, Cary, Troy and MORE!!!
Well, I gotta say, the band is BIZZZZAY right now. It started at the beginning of May and we’ve been playing 3 times a week since! I can’t believe I can still talk much less sing. There have been ZERO Southern Soul gigs but the beach thing is blossoming. I’m just going to touch onContinue reading “Festival Fever! Wake Forest, Tarboro, Cary, Troy and MORE!!!”
They Haven’t Met Me
Tonight I was rereading some parts of Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich. I needed some encouragement so I normally pick up one of my many self-help books to get my mojo back. The first two chapters of the book talk about how you must have a BURNING DESIRE to achieve a goal in orderContinue reading “They Haven’t Met Me”
My Favorite Bands in North Carolina
What’s going on, everybody? Hey, I’ve been cruising along still gigging when I can and still going through the motions but it looks like it has paid off at least a little. My band was recently featured on WRAL Out and About as THE R&B band you should hear in the Raleigh, NC area! IContinue reading “My Favorite Bands in North Carolina”
Big Wheel Keep On Turning
Man, it’s been a year since I did this! I don’t even know if I still have readers but here we are. I think the last one I did, I said I wanted to have a new CD done by this time. Well, that did not happen. I had lofty goals then too! Check outContinue reading “Big Wheel Keep On Turning”
New Year, New…..Everything!
Heeeeyy!!! Happy New Year ya’ll!!! I’m very excited about this year. Why? You may ask. Well, I’m doing some stuff I haven’t done before and I’m anxious to see how it plays out. On both the Southern Soul and Beach side, I’ve got stuff planned. Let’s jump right in shall we? First, let’s talk aboutContinue reading “New Year, New…..Everything!”
Lakefest and Other Stuff
Hello, hello…. Let’s jump right, in shall we? I haven’t been doing any shows for the last couple of months. The last thing I did was Lakefest in Clarksville, VA. That was July. Obviously, it’s now September. Since I wasn’t so busy, I decided to take a small respite to work on recording and wouldn’tContinue reading “Lakefest and Other Stuff”
Eb & Flow…
Hello everyone! I’m just realizing that I haven’t done this since January. I hope you haven’t completely lost interest but whoever is still hanging in here with me, thank you. There’s just been so much happening and so many changes that I would have probably been posting every week if I told you everything. IContinue reading “Eb & Flow…”
Beach and Blues
I’m just now seeing that I have not done a blog post since September. I’m hanging my head in shame. I’m really only doing it now because I borrowed a speaker from James Parker, manager of the band I started out with waaaay back, and he told me that he actually reads these! So, IContinue reading “Beach and Blues”
