Can't trust that day...

Missed the Sarah Borges gig at the Hungry Tiger last Thursday night because our original reason for being in Manchester, the 2010 Cape Cod golf draft, was canceled for reasons unknown.  And we'll miss her again at the 2010 Blackeyed & Blues Fest at Bushnell Park on June 3rd (another sleepy, dusty delta day) because we'll be AT the Cape for the Cape Cod Golf Extravaganza!....Aretha Franklin did not cancel getting an honorary degree from Yale on Sunday like she canceled her performances at Jazz Fest the last two years....."There are only three white blues singers -- Geoff Muldaur is at least two of them." -- Richard Thompson.....PHS Barry D sneaked down to the Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun to catch the always excellent Donna the Buffalo.  Gumbo and I discovered them at the annual Labor Day Rhythm & Roots Festival in Charlestown, RI several years ago.  Just checked their tour schedule- they will be in Norfolk at the Infinity Music Hall on August 26 and back at Rhythm & Roots Festival on September 4/5.....
