Thanks to all of you who wrote me with warm wishes for a safe trip and thanks to you who yelled at me for leaving! Makes me feel so loved! So, I'm back.. The trip was long exhausting and wonderful, I'll try and get some pictures on this month for you! Well.... on with the show. Last night I had the honor of seeing a band called the SENDERS, (sounds familiar to me too) at Famous Dave's in Calhoun Square. They are a 7 peice band with tons of style, this band shows class and style in a jazzy,swingin' blues style... The petite in size yet large in vocals, Miss Charman -Michelle sings with soulful style, with such songs as "Is you is or is you aint," and "Witchcraft," She is a definite plus to this already terrific band.The band consists of three horns, Scott Johnson on sax..(forgive me for not remembering all the names,)A drummer, Slim, A bass, A piano and organ, I was told the piano player is from Germany and has written some of his own very popular pieces, lead guitar and Charman.The entertainment aspect was beyond mere audience participation, they actually gave swing dance instruction before the band started! There were swing dancers everywhere! On the dance floor, in the aisles,they were fantastic to watch as well... it was a great time! I highly recommend seeing this band, and bring the little ones to see them at the Ramsey fair this weekend! Saturday night, I guarantee a good time!

Cains Alibi debuts a new original song. "War Gods," THIS IS CAINS ALIBI!
For those of you who know me, you know I am not a real heavy metal kinda girl~ However, there is a band out called .. Cains Alibi.. They are rockin'! Heavy metal~ Metallica, Great Rob Zombie! The crowd went wild for these guys!
The turn out wasn't so fantastic.. but hey, their loss..These guys rocked the house! They were fantastic.. cover songs were true to heart,
real!.. You know these guys are lovin' what they're doin'!
The band consists of.. Paul, who is awesome at the lead vocals, he gives new life to the saying, "Cover a song",~ Krister, who is a mental nightmare, is originally from Sweden. Yes,ladies he does have the accent!~ His quote," I love all These Guys, I want to get ontop of all of them!"~ ~absolute guitarist!~
Derrick~Whom ,by the way ladies~is single ~Was once the bands sound man~ Keeps the metal beat like a madman! To : Mark, who is the bass player and rocks with the best of them.. for some one who really doesn't have time for heavy metal... I stayed all night! Want more... They've been together 2 years, and basically are a unit.. They "Love Each Other",
They also have a cd out.. self titled.. Cains Alibi.. get it! A cut off the cd/ Offspring is a favorite of mine.Some of the songs include: Break the Silence, Heaven's Calling and Are You Ready~Fabulous Production. These guys are a hot number, as insane as they are.. they are good!
The word for the youth of today.. keep practicing, you never know when it'll come!(Paul)
I think more than 3/4 of the crowd was dancing, all the time...
and girls and guys alike were at the foot of the stage, rockin'....Don't miss an opp to see this band..... They are crowd pleasers, and hard rock Gurus...Tee-shirts and cd's are available and all are willing to sign! Some artists covered,Priest, Ozzy, Rob Zombie, but the real work is on their cd!
Update for Bad Jack....

Kimberly Brown is an area gospel singer and a diva in her own right! This woman can sing! Dear Lord! Can she sing! Accompanied by her three
lovely backups, each as individual as Kimberly herself, she does a number of original gospel songs and with heart and soul. She is a very powerful vocal, who will definitely have you
clapping your hands and stomping your feet!
If you have an opportunity to see her, DO IT!
This lady is a definite show stopper! She does have a cd out, look for it.
