Bayoo Boogaloo at Town Point Park 2013 In Norfolk Virginia
This is what I missed by not going. It looks like fun and not crowded at all.
I still can't find the performance by Tuba Skinny on Sat. June 22 2013 on YouTube.
But I will keep looking from time to time.

"Ready for the Times to Get Better", The Blue Moon Cowgirls
About the Blue Moon Cowgirls:
http://users.rcn.com/fredfeinstein/bluemoon/descript.html
Jerry's sister Janet hired this band to play at a private birthday party for their
Mother. It was her 90th birthday and they had 20 friends and family over to her house.
They ate fried chicken legs and biscuits because their mother remembers some hard times when she was a child in Danville, Virginia and that was all they had to eat back during the Depression days.
Later a neighbor girl brought over some cupcakes she had made.
The band has a good old time country traditional sound. It is nice to know there are still people playing this kind of music. Va. and West Virginia are still home to many traditional country and bluegrass muscians.
Blue Moon Cowgirls
I like this group. Jerry told me about them this morning. See more posts below this one.
Blue Moon Cowgirls - Happy Birthday
Jerry's sister hired these people to come to their mother's 90th birthday party last night here in
Arlington, Virginia.

The Victor Maymudes Story: Friend & Confidant to Bob Dylan
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1845647414/the-victor-maymudes-biography-friend-and-mentor-to
I have been waiting almost 50 years to read the Victor Maymudes book about Bob Dylan when and if it was ever to be published. Victor knew him better than anybody and had many more stories to tell than anyone else. Now Victor's son Jacob is trying to get the book finished and published.
Originally to be titled The Joker And The Thief you can take your pick as to who was the Joker and who was the Thief.
Below is a link to my meeting these two guy at Mardi Gras in New Orleans in Feb. 1964.
I sure hope Jacob can get his father's book published soon so we all can read it.
Victor was a very cool guy.

1974 Bob Dylan Visited The Phillips Art Collection In Washington D.C. And Spent A Long Time Looking At The Old King By Georges Rouault
My friend Bill M. was working at the Phillips Collection in 1974. He manned the front door keeping out bums and those with dogs who wanted to bring their dogs inside the Phillips Collection. At that time there was no entrance fee. Now it is 12 dollars.
I used to go there every day for 4 years from 1967 to 1971. It is housed in the old home of Duncan and Margorie Phillips. There were comfortable old couches to sit on in every room.

When Bob Dylan was in town in 1974 to do a concert with The Band at the old Capitol Center in Landover, Maryland he made a trip to see the Phillips Collection.
Bill told me Dylan spent a long time looking at the above painting.
Later that evening Bill and I and someone else went to see The Band and Bob Dylan at the Capitol Center. The Phillips family had a Sky Box at The Capitol Center to all events and since no one at the Phillips except Bill was interested in that concert they gave him the tickets.
Bill told me about Dylan's visit to The Phillips.

We were high up and far away. But still we could see and hear what was a good concert.

Tuba Skinny ~ I'm So Blue
Watch Shaye Cohn(the leader of the band)nod to the trombone player telling him to take his solo.
She signals to all the band members and to the singer(Erika Lewis)when it is time for them do their thing.
Eddie Hunter Likes Tuba Skinny As Much As I Do They Are Addictive As Cigarettes
See posts below this one for many tubaskinny youtube videos. They are the best thing going. Too good for American Idol or any of the crappy commercial tv and music biz junk that is spoon fed to dumb Americans young and old.
We went to a wedding in Bethesda, Maryland yestersday. As usual the music at the reception after the church service was loud(too loud)but that is what the dancers want. Loud LOUD disco music and other danceable music.
After the church service when I went outside I saw one person smoking. It was the oldest person there out of 200 or more. She was the 85 year old grandmother of the bride. She lit up as soon as she got out of the church.
Later at the reception Ray told me he would give me 100 dollars if I would go over to her table and ask her for a cigarette. I said no. He said he would give me110 dollars. I said no. I told him that Robert Stone(the author)wrote in his memoir PRIME GREEN of being at a party in 1964 with Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters. It was at Stone's apartment and Jack Kerouac was there also.
Stone's one converstation with Kerouac went like this. He asked Kerouac if he could bum a cigarette off of him. Kerouac told him no. He told Stone there was a store down on the corner and that he (Stone)should go down there and buy his own cigarettes.
