Okay, not much of a title, I know.
Trying to pay homage to two venues this time around - Sherie's Gaslight and Kickin'.
The weekend kicked off late night, propelling Belinda and I
to check out the music scene before taking in some well-needed rest (after many
hard days in that other world).

Paul Nowles & his 'Wild Stallions'
Definitely fun for the audience - and the band.
It was
my first time hearing him. Paul has a long play list, and can just about cover
anything.
He also educates listeners
on the ins and outs of the business, from his experience as an audio engineer
and musician.

He's a
relateable entertainer, and has attracted a good following as well.
Grif and the Tambourettes
Next up, was Grif Bamaisin.
It's always good to hear him, although it's been awhile for me.
He is definitely hard core, so much in fact,
he lets Dru (on stage in the provocative neon green outfit) run his avatar, while
he intends solely to his music ("I perform ever note and word you
hear").
Grif still pays attention
to local chat, and responds to his audience over the mic.
Josie Anderton
So then Belinda and I decided to see a long-time friend,
Josie Anderton, one-of-a-kind singer... artist/photographer, and a super nice and
talented woman from the UK.
She put on
a great hour at Kickin.
Her span of
music has increased over the past four years, something for everybody and every
occasion, particularly adding punch to the classic pop tunes.

Always a lively show - her bubbly (yet
intelligent) personality is refreshing;
along
with good tunes, it's the ideal fit for a Friday night get-together on the grid
- what else does one need in the virtual to kick start the weekend.
