That's right, no big surprise from us right? We do go to our share of concerts but this one was a little different. It was a benefit concert to raise money for the family of guy named Buffalo Norton, a blues harmonica player who had cancer and died, he was a friend to all the people that played and his wife was there too. They had a silent auction and Wavy Gravy was the MC for the night. It was a brilliant idea, held in the newly renovated Fox Theater in Oakland CA a gorgeous site and not a bad seat in the house. The concert was 5 hours long and included sets by The Doobie Brothers, Bonnie Raitt, and The Steve Miller Band. Special guests included, George Thorogood, Charlie Musselwhite, Roy Rodgers and Elvin Bishop. I'd never seen any of these bands/people so it was a real treat and they all rocked their a**'s off. Before the concert, Wayne and I and Rae and Mike met up with our friend Randy, then drove to one of his favorite restaurants in Emeryville called "Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe. One of the guys from Greenday is part owner and It's going to be on Food Network tonight at 10:00 (Jan. 25th)! Wayne's brother Keith and his wife Holly met up with us there, Keith was excited to see the concert because he and Randy did the concert poster which turned out great and we had a surprise when we got there and saw they had used the art to make t-shirts with too. Wayne bought one :)
You probably noticed I changed my page graphics again. I'm thinking I might try to post about "Things I love" during February. There are so many things after all! Until then.........

Love the new look. Where did you find it?
It's in the upper left-hand corner of the page, I think it's called "cutest blog on the block"? It gives you all the directions to cut and paste. Can't wait to see what you choose!
