Briefly coming out of my move-induced hiatus to post a couple things.

One is the list of blues and music festivals for July.  I know I missed a few but the list still seems short.  Is the lack from the slow economy or the unrelenting heat?

The other is just a little signal boost for the benefit concert Jimmy Buffett is putting on Sunday July 11th in Gulf Shores to help tourism and the folks on the Gulf Coast.  The concert was scheduled for July 1st but the weather did not cooperate. (hey, it’s hurricane season)  Jimmy, Sonny Landreth and the Zac Brown Band will perform along with several other bands.

Tickets are free, either from ticketmaster or you can get them from merchants in the area.  You can purchase concert t-shirts to help out but just being there and spending a little money on food and lodging will help tremendously.  Check out the Margaritaville  site or the Alabama Gulf Coast Area Chamber of Commerce website   for more information.
