The Beatnik Brothers at Veteran’s Memorial Amphitheater, Minneapolis (July 2, 2025)

The music of the 80’s was not on tap when The Beatnik Brothers took the stage at Veterans’ Memorial Amphitheater, but for two hours the outdoor venue was filled with hit songs starting with “Little Sister” from Elvis Pressley. Pretty quickly the front of the stage filled with dancers, young and old, but mostly older due to the songs as well as a retirement community abutting the park.

New Year, New Jax City

Now that everything is settled down in Jacksonville, I will be looking to explore the city in 2025. I am only here until March, however, eventually, the plan is to make a final move to Jax sometime in late 2025, if we can sell the house in Minneapolis.

It’s gloomy. It’s raining. It’s Monday. Just perfect for celebrating Elliott Smith’s birthday at the White Squirrel Bar, in St Paul, on August 5th. Technically, Smith’s birthday is on August 6, so the party should go on until Midnight to make it official.

Joan Osborne at Dakota Jazz Club, Minneapolis (30 Sep 2023)

American singer/songwriter Joan Osborne shot into fame with her recorded song “One Of Us” (written by Eric Bazilian), from her debut album Relish, in 1995. The song poses the question, what if God was one of us, just trying to find his way home.
