BB King said …
While listening to BB King’s Bluesville on Sirius Radio, I heard BB himself say that he believes Muddy Waters is the Godfather of the Blues. Muddy Waters.

Listening to Norah Jones New Album – streaming – free – Thanks to NPR!
I’m listening to Norah Jones complete new album, The Fall, on NPR while catching the muted MLB World Series on the background television. That’s right, the whole album, free. Thanks NPR! On The Fall, Jones maintains her jazzy, sultry sound while pushing into more contemporary pop territory. “Chasing Pirates,” “Even Though” and “It’s Gonna Be” [...]

Cool shoes on the beach
I’m not quite sure why I like this picture. I took it a couple of summers ago with the BlackBerry Pearl on the beach while we were at the Steve Miller Band concert during the American Music Festival in Virginia Beach.
