"Shoot The Centerfold"




Shoot the centerfold was all about learning lighting techniques.

Soul Brothers in Tiptonville

Is no longer there. Burned to the ground a while back.

Maybe the owner will see fit to put up a pole barn and a slab of concrete. But something about those shotgun shacks. So fitting of the deep south. To build anything less would be just cost effective and would have be bigger for a dance floor and a respectible DJ booth.

Guess who I saw Friday afternoon ?

Priscilla Presley, never thought in a million years I'd see her at the many book stores I go to. I seriously doubt if she even bought anything there, as she after all is news in the making. But, it's no doubt a low key event she was at and they probably had their own photographer there.

As it'd really would have been a pity if she had all her friends there and they didn't a single photo. I'm from the world don't bother people in real time, online they can weed thru stuff fast and or use the delete button.

As that's the way I am too. You know, I'm just surprised Priscilla doesn't have her own line of sunglasses... Just don't do what Maria Sharapova did was get the glasses that TAG probably recommend for her. I mean, the Urm Thurman style was way hotter. They clearly saw her coming and wasn't picky.

Wonder which brand Priscilla would pick ?

Cellular South Championship 2010

Guess who I saw last Saturday night ?

"Maria Sharapova", what can I say about her. Take a look at my video's of her knocking the ball around. Stay tuned as I will upload a few more video's.

Soul Brothers in Tiptonville is now a Blues Club

Which is worthy of visiting. Though, if your under 25 years of age. Good luck on trying to get inside as this club caters only to older black folks who still like to be entertained. I spoke with the owner of the establishment who apparently has ties to a recording label.

He noted that a "Earl Gaines", may be heading to Tiptonville, TN to do a show, which would definitely be a treat. Thought seating is limited to the capacity of the building which looks like less than 40 people. I myself, prefer a cozy place.

Which, for those who reading the Blues Revue or was it Living Blues Magazine they recently reviewed his CD.

If your ever in the area or fishing on Reelfoot Lake, do take the time and check out this place. The jukebox has a vast array of blues music, but most of the younger ladies prefer the new stuff.

This club could easily be rented out - for say if one wanted to cut an album. Being a visuals guy photographically speaking... Gone, is the dark and worn look of the old club, which had the feel of a Mississippi Juke Joint. As the renovations of this club gives it a more of a Chicago or St.Louis Style Blues Club.

Does Tyra Banks get into the Blues ?

I believe I saw on the Willie King blues website how she's and avid diehard blues lover. Clearly, one has to wonder why she's not doing her show in Mississippi.

And indoctrinating all the "Next Top Models" on this great form of art, and that one doesn't have to get drunk to enjoy it. Imagine if Clapton showed up. No doubt, that'd be a popular show. Imagine if he took part in that show.

Wonder what the photography is like in Antigua.

Johnny Winters in Bowling Green, Ky

Aug. 23, 2008

Nothing like finding out at the very last minute where that guy is going to be playing at. Found a killer LP of Edgar Winters. Called "Road Work - White Trash", it's a live album and Edgar says to the crowd "I've got a special guest tonight, people keep asking me where's your brother?", it's a hoot to hear and of course how Johnny comes out and plays Hootchie Koo Rock & Roll.

Never did make it to the Johnny Winters Concert, maybe someday he'll play "The New Daisy" in Memphis or atleast Morgan Freeman's Ground Zero Blues Club in Memphis or Clarksdale.

That guy would do wise to just see where Robin Trower played at and or use his manager to set up his gigs.

Kenny Browns N. MS Hill Country Picnic

Set for July 4 & 5th should be a helluva holiday weekend. Along with the Blues Guitar Workshop set for Thursday, July 3rd. Seems this event just keeps getting bigger every year.

Wonder who the special guest is going to be jamming with Kenny Brown? Buddy Guy ? BB King ? Clapton ? Beck? Steve Cropper? With Memphis so close by - it should be very interesting as to who's going to show up... as like all shows, some of these guitar guys seem to come out of the woodwork wanting to play. Which is what it's all about.

Whomever, should be a helluva good night of guitars jammin' and of course the blues !

Found a old style Juke Joint in Tiptonville, TN

Just north of the main intersection... How descriptive this that... Just go up one block and cross over the train tracks and there it is.

Mind you, they play rap music but from the owner that I talked with they have a few blues tunes in there jukebox. This is would be an idea place to cut an album, rent it out and invite in some of the ladies in town to sing to and wha-la.

If you love the blues and are just out one day, this place no doubt has seen the likes of some of the finest bluesmen the south has ever seen. All neatly tucked away.
