Saturday and Sunday were the Doheny Blues Festival days for this year. The kids and I went both days... omgoodness.. I do love the blues. Now, unless you listen to blues, you aren't likely to know any of the regular performers... but I'll tell you anyways.. Watermelon Slim, and Pinetop Perkins (don't you love these names).. were AMAZING. Watermelon Slim plays guitar and harmonica.. slide guitar, on his lap. Just WOW! Pinetop Perkins is 90-something, pianist..damn if I could play 1/64th as well as he does I'd be amazing. hehe. Johnny Lang was Saturday nights headliner. Bonnie Raitt was Sunday night. The one downer was that it was HOT, like 90-something hot. I'm sunburned on my shoulders, upper back, and chest, I stupidly wore strapless tops both days.. now I get to wear them for the week while my burn heals. @@ Thankfully the littles aren't burned, and Beth just lightly burned a shoulder.. and yes, we did use sunblock.. it just wasn't enough in that sun.
Now to catch up on all the chores I didn't do over the weekend. sigh~ anyone wanna come do laundry with me?? The mound is only 2 feet tall.
