It was a quiet week this week compared to last week.
On a sad note, the music world lost another great talent. Leon Russell died at the age of 74.

On a brighter note, two of my favorite singer/songwriters are coming to the area-Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt!
I've been following these guys for a long time.
