Friday night my boss was telling me about this bar where these two great acoustic guitarists were playing. He really wanted to see me there so when I got home and told my wife about it she was even excited. It’s always a plus when your boss wants to see you socially outside the office.
The place wasn’t big at all as I was warned. A few beers later my boss was still a no show so I gave him a call. He wasn’t able to make it there. At least he knew I made the effort. It really didn’t matter. You might say it was comfortable way to spend a Friday evening just kicking back without any frills.
My Valentines gift was something that surprised me this year. It was a double DVD of the 2007 Crossroads Guitar Festival headed by Eric Clapton recorded last summer in Chicago. Holly Shit! This was one very cool DVD.

I was really impressed with the sound and found new artists along the way like Susan Tedeschi who I’d never heard of before:
