[ posted 08/07/08 ] It's been getting hot around here. And nothing could be better than getting up in the mountains away from the heat. Join me up in Brian Head near the Giant Steps Lodge next to the ski lift this Saturday, August 9th, from 3-5 pm for a free concert featuring the Karyn Whittemore Band. [ posted 07/31/08 ] There's a music video of the song "More Than I Am" on Karyn TV. Just click the You Tube button below. This was a student project from students at SUU.

 Z-Arts Concert This was a great concert. It really couldn't have gone better. I'd like to thank Michael Evenson from the Z-Arts Council and Julie and Max Gregoric from Sol Foods for having us out. They make a great blackened fish sandwich, Gyro and Tortellini pasta, excellent! Check Sol Foods out when you travel to Zion's National Park. The place was packed, and we sold all but a couple of CDs which is always nice. Shawn and Chuck make me look great as always. It was fun, fun, fun. We made lots of new friends. Thanks so much to everybody that came out!! There's more pics of this concert in my myspace blog. Concert @ Giant Steps The concert went really well yesterday. It was great to meet some new friends as well at Brian Head's Summer Concert Series. Thanks to Chuck Triplett (Bass) and Shawn Owens (Drums), they were outstanding as usual. I'm fortunate to have some of the best players around to play with me. Giant Steps is a mountain, and in the summer they use their ski lift to ferry mountain bikers and their bikes up the mountain. Clever idea for revenue enhancement for a ski lift in the summer. In other news, I've finally got my You Tube channel up. It only has one video on it so far. We have plans to get a good video camera and do it up right. No, I'm not giving a date. It happens when it happens :-). The video that's up now is a student project from the SUU communications program. It was fun to help them and a learning experience for all involved. Concert @ Jessie's Grill I played at Jessie's Grill in Springdale (gateway to Zion's National Park) last night. I want to thank Cory & Jessie Nelson for inviting me out. I love this place. If you travel to Zion's Park, you must stop there on the way in. The food is excellent. I hope to make it a regular gig. As you can see in the scenery behind me, Zion's National Park is a special place and that's not even technically the park area that people pay to see. People ask me why I don't tour more. Springdale is the answer to that question. I would rather drive a short distance to one location that people from all over the world travel to than drive hundreds of miles to other locations to play to audiences. It's kind of my Branson. There's more pics of this in my myspace blog. The trauma is over.We went away for four days on a trip to Tempe, Arizona and thought Koal would enjoy spending time on my mom's ranch instead of hanging out at home. That was a big mistake. I'm sure all cat owners already know this, but most cats don't like change ......ever. He spent the first couple days under their couch. He later escaped to the great outdoors and spent the remainder of the time trapped under the porch afraid to come out because of the dog. When we finally located him he was a few pounds lighter and wouldn't give me the time of day for an hour.
So, Koal is back at home as you can see and recovering nicely. He's gained back a couple of pounds after his 4 day "under the porch diet".  Jazzy Java Concert This was a really fun concert. Thanks so much to Reid for having us out. This is one of the best equipped venues I've played at. It's great to have professional premium venues like Jazzy Java and The Grind in this area. Jazzy Java has some awesome gear. Everything sounded great, and the stage set up with lights couldn't be better. My sound guy was telling me that their lighting set up was all LEDs which I've never seen before. The stage lights put out no heat which makes a big difference to the performer ie; me.Thanks so much Chuck Triplett (Bass) and Shawn Owens (Drums) for playing with me. They sounded awsome as usual and always make me look good. There will be more pics of this concert on my myspace blog. I try to scatter different content everywhere. If anyone starts a myfacespacetubebook.com I'm going to flip. Enough already. Concert TomorrowDon't forget the concert tomorrow at Jazzy Java at 285 North Bluff Street, St. George, Utah. Just look for this sign.

Seriously folks, I'm at home minding my own business and decide I'd like to make a nice curry dish. I go to the store to buy some rice, and the rice shelf is bare not just in Wal-Mart but in every other store. Despite the experts saying there is no rice shortage in the U.S., people continue to hoard rice by the 20 lb bag. The funny thing is, I bet most of these people only rarely eat rice. Alot of people have bought more rice than they will ever be able to eat. How so many people can be influenced by the media is beyond me. The media speaks and causes a little apprehension and all the rice magically disappears from the shelves. I hope they find the guy on the national rice counsel that started this rumor. Did you hear? There's a problem with the potato crop. A shortage is predicted by mid summer. .............Come on, admit it. I made you at least a little nervous. :-) I've just been stimulated I've just been stimulated by George's package and like many others out there, I wish it had been bigger and a little more stimulating. I haven't decided what to do with this economic stimulus yet. I certainly wouldn't want to save it as that would violate the whole principle of being stimulated.I should probably go out and buy some kind of plastic and metal doodad that plugs into the wall and does something cool. I don't know what that would be yet but as we are americans, it is our duty to come up with something to desire and consume, consume, consume to save our economy and way of life. They say this consumerism of wanting one thing after another that we really don't need started with the first introduction of the Sears and Roebuck catalog in the late 1800's. Before that people just kind of worked and met their housing/nutritional needs and existed day to day. What would that be like I wonder? Happy Birthday Koal Koal is two years old today. This pic shows him celebrating in his usual fashion. With the front row girls These guys show up to most of my shows. I just want to dedicate this post to them. Don't forget there's a show coming up in St. George on the Ancestor Square stage this coming Saturday. Check the shows page for details. In an effort to maximize my weekly produce run, I'll be playing on the stage at the farmer's market. So come by, squeeze a few melons, pick out the freshest cucumbers and catch a few songs. Please, no throwing produce at the performers, just place it in bags at the foot of the stage. Thank you for your attention regarding this matter. .... :-) Posts 1 - 12 of 37
