Music in Los Angeles - Trombone Shorty, Merle Haggard, Chris Kristofferson, Kenny Neal, and a blues jam at Cork's

Charlie invited us to Cork's in LA for a jam session. When we arrived we realized we were actually at a birthday party jam. It was a lot of fun and we enjoyed the performers. This is the legendary Phil Upchurch on guitar. The keyboard player performs on the Tonight Show. I have videos in The You Tubes if you are interested.

Charlie and Tawni watching a video of the lady in green below. I can't remember her name but she is a blues singer and also actress. Later we showed her the video and she was so happy to see herself on the phone screen!
As I'm editing this blog, the photo below won't turn 'right side up' for some weird reason and I've speent too much time messing with it. This lady had to be in her 60s at least. At first glance, she looks young. When she passed by and you got a look at the crow's feet and the wrinkled hands... well, you know what I'm talking about. She was having a good time at this show and I hope if I live to be her age that I'm out there partying too ....sans the blue hair, thick eyeliner, and micro-dress of course.I found this poster in the bathroom hallway. Love Steve McQueen. I didn't bring this poster home with me. hahahaha

One reason I went a little earlier this year was to attend this concert at the Greek Theatre in LA. What a great show.

It was cold so we broke out the furs and hats.

I have a friend in San Diego and I told him I was in town. He said wow - Kenny is playing in LA this weekend too. So, off we went Saturday night to the casino in Inglewood to hang with Charlie and Kenny.
We also attended the Trombone Shorty show at the El Rey Theatre in LA. Trombone Shorty had the crowd of about 1500 rockin' and groovin'. Cool shot of the three of us. Again, I need a better camera! This one is great for outdoor shots but inside - yikes. The El Rey is very nice inside.
