HO, Ho, ho my goodness it’s December. Have you tried to go shopping yet? Did you get me anything? Ohhhh never mind. Back to the music… Thanks to Black Jax for checking in and giving us an update on their live music! WTIM friends Jim Meck, Monkey Bizzness, Steve Walker, Levi Bone and Stephanie Grace are playing out this time as the insanity leading to New Year’s Eve begins. Check out two new Stephanie Grace tunes released last week, “Scared” and “Oh Well” on you-tube. In case you didn’t see it, my Listen Up column started running again last week. It is a longer version of my rambling thoughts on music, music venues and music related things as I perceive them. My hope is that I can entertain you once, maybe twice a month with these. If there is anything you’d like me to address or check out for use in one of these articles, please use the email below to rattle my cage. Now back to my tryptophan induced coma …
Do you want to see your band or venue listed here at WTIM send an email to tdietterick@21st-centurymedia.com with the particulars (at least 2 weeks in advance) and we’ll get it out there.
