		<description><![CDATA[It is odd to own an audience.
I do not refer to the purchasing of people to populate a performance, as many politicians have been known to do.  Instead I comment on those moments when a musical performer changes the mood of a room or stadium full of folk and eliminates all inattention.  Even top-shelf touring [...]]]></description>

Few parts of San Francisco are wilder than the Mission District.  Mission mavens are ‘colorful&#8217; in the same sense that parrots and flamingos are and Liberace was.  Mission residents are not considered properly dresses unless their tattoos [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I could get used to this real quick.
There is a holy place in the unholy town of Berkeley, California.  Smelted in the 1960&#8217;s along with several thousand other coffee shops (the American variety, not the Amsterdam kind, though in the 60&#8217;s the differences were minor) was The Freight.  Its proper name is The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having written songs and performed solo for way too long, it is odd being in a band.  (We&#8217;ll call it a band.  More like four guys who wanted to jam and needed a good reason to drink week nights).  Individually we are all quite good.  Collectively we are sloppy with occasional [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A hurricane died this week.
Koko Taylor was nothing less than a growling storm of blues.  Hailed as the Queen of the Blues, Koko possessed seemingly endless energy erupting from her paunchy Chicago blues body and soul.  When performing you lived in fear that either she or the audience would explode in frenzied elation, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I want to brag about a local band, not because they are good great musicians, but because they write honest songs.
The outfit is called Houston Jones, and their music is as they bill it &#8220;high-octane Americana.&#8221;  Fitting description as they rather seamlessly weave together sounds from blues, folk, country, gospel and their own cosmic connections.  [...]]]></description>
