Buddy Guy at Main Street Arts Festival

I confess...now that I am a sedentary old fart, I don't much like going to outdoor Rock music events. I've been to enough to know how miserable they can be. Case in point: last year I blew off going to the Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas, since I had no desire to suffer in the heat all day only to sit in my car for hours longer, waiting to escape the crappy parking. I still think I made the right choice on that one. To slightly make up for it, I took my guitar-playing youngest son to hear Buddy Guy tonight at the Main Street Arts Festival. Damn, can that man play guitar. Knowing parking would be a bitch, I parked and we walked for 15 minutes to get to the stage area. This turned out to be a Good Plan. We got there about 9 and heard the last 30 minute of Johnnie Red and the Roosters. They were hot: old men, but old men who knew how to boogie. They left the stage and we waited for Buddy Guy. He came on around 10:10 and immediately jumped into it, playing Down, Down, Down. Hi

I stayed late at work and ran across this David vs. Goliath Microsoft Story . Those wacky college kids...you got to love 'em. Occasionally I think there may be hope for the future after all.
