Heard them on PBS or PBA or GPTV, one of those public broadcasting stations... the Candadian Tenors are fantastic, wonderful, awesome! I'm going to see them when they're here so will let you know how they are live. Talk about a switcheroo when it comes to music --- the following weekend I'm going to see Joe Bonamassa at the Rivers Center in Columbus! If I could see Eric Clapton the following weekend, then Gary Moore the next, then Steve Vai, then Jackson Browne, Scorpions, John Legend, um, the list is long. Ah, another concert I want to see when it hits town is Elton John and Leon Russell. Boz Scaggs... Neil Young... Santana... Creed... Hinder...

Joe Bonamassa LIVE in Columbus, GA Nov 27
Joe Bonamassa (@jbonamassa on Twitter) is going to be at the River Center for the Performing Arts in Columbus, Georgia on November 27th. It is going to be a fantastically phenomenal concert... and I'm gonna be there!
Joe has been playing and touring professionally since he was a baby! His first tour was with B.B. King!!! I can't begin to imagine what it must have been like. Here's a snippet from his "about" page:
This is one of my favorites on his new release, Black Rock:

Joe has been playing and touring professionally since he was a baby! His first tour was with B.B. King!!! I can't begin to imagine what it must have been like. Here's a snippet from his "about" page:
"A child prodigy, Bonamassa was finessing Stevie Ray Vaughan licks when he was seven and by the time he was ten, had caught B.B. King’s ear. After first hearing him play, King said, “This kid’s potential is unbelievable. He hasn’t even begun to scratch the surface. He’s one of a kind.” By age 12, Bonamassa was opening shows for the blues icon and went on to tour with venerable acts including Buddy Guy, Foreigner, Robert Cray, Stephen Stills, Joe Cocker and Gregg Allman."I love his music! Here's a link to his website so you can grab your own tickets: http://jbonamassa.com/

Random Act of Culture
Talkmaster Neal Boortz (Atlanta) had a random act of culture segment on his radio show this morning. I didn't get to listen, but just saw this tweet (@talkmaster) and thought it was a fabulous 'random act of culture', had to share!

Paolo Nutini - It Must Be Love
One of the things I love about Twitter and Blip is that I get to hear music that I might not ever hear in my normal travels. @DaveGrossBlues tweeted a link to a Paolo Nutini tune, I clicked and listened, and I really liked it... so of course I went on a discovery tour of Nutini's music. I'll be blipping his music again! Here's one of my all-time favorite tunes that he covered (Crazy):
Now I'm off on a search for Crazy covers... listening to Nelly Furtado version as I type this last bit.
p.s. Thanks @DaveGrossBlues
