The Unstoppables - mini size

My bride and I went out for some good energy this night, and met up with these three great people who enjoy playing music to us. Not being a musician myself, I can only surmise that being a musician chills you out from the stress of the day. Blocking out any bad vibe of the day or week, and re-energizing with the positive new vibe from not only through play of music, but also the positive reaction from the crowd.

For some of us like me, I go to see musicians play for that same reason, to renew my positive vibration so that I can do the same for you through my blogs.

Tonight felt like I was sitting with my high-school friends (1971-1975) listening to records, discussing what we wanted out of life, using the influence of word and rhythm of the song to motivate us to a higher plain. Sometimes only a low key simple song was needed. Sometimes a powerful grab you by the balls was needed. Either way, the trio gave it to me (us) the way I remembered it to be. Thanks Guys!

Flashpoint

After an earlier photoshoot of another band, I chose to stop by The Track Lounge to take a couple photographs of Flashpoint. I am glad I did.

Once you have been away from The Track, coming back gives you that comfortable home feeling. There is no hesitation walking in the door. The people are great. The staff is super great. They support local music.

This was also seeing friends that you have not seen for a while. Yes, you can do that by going out anywhere. However there is still something special when you go to The Track. You are there with friends, picking up where you left off. I sat and chatted with Art Miller. When the band went on break I chatted with Dave Dodge and Eddie Fell.

That is probably the sad thing in the world. People stuck on their computers and phones. That is the wrong social makeup. We need to get out and press flesh, see eye-to-eye, all in the comfort of a social setting that everyone agrees upon. That is The Track Lounge.

Here are a couple photographs of Flashpoint for you to enjoy!

Marrakesh Express ⁓ a CSNY experience

The year 1969 was great. Great for muscle cars. Great for music. Great for Chicago. Harmony, a truism for my pals of Marrakesh Express, for only they can give proper tribute to what Crosby Stills Nash and Young began in 1969 at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago. The car part . . . I just like 1969 muscle, and Marrakesh Express flexes that horsepower needed to be a great tribute band.
