It seems it is much easier to keep up when there is not much else to do but I guess that is true of most things. I hope everyone is doing well. I am on the move again. Just enough time to update The Live Performance Of The Week, albeit four days late. For those who haven’t noticed there is a new page and every Monday there is a new video of someone or something performing live. It could be music or stand up comedy, or a dance recital… who knows. So far only music though. I think it is kind of fun, and so much quicker than writing a whole post. 
I have notice an unintentional theme of the picks for October. They are all white woman playing guitar with a man backing them up on rythm guitar. Just an observation that I made at this very moment.
This weeks pick is from a long running live music show that I used to watch religiously when I lived in England. Later with Jools Holland. He was the bassist for the band The Squeeze, but he has made a name for himself, at least in England, for having a great show with a great format for new and upcoming, and also legendary, artist.
I like it because he gives the artist the choice to play what they like and not so much what the record companies want them too, or what they happen to be selling at the moment. (Although some choice the latter) You will also see a lot of duets and pairing of musicians that you would not normally see here in the states. Jools is kind of a quirky fella but he keeps it real and I think that is why we all love him. He sort of reminds me of an English version of Rodney on the ROQ in L.A. You can check out some of Jools’s older shows. They have released some on DVD. If your interested.
Not sure what is going to happen with the Live Performance Of The Week, for next week, but I know that it will be exciting! And LIVE!
