This summer Susan opened for Blame Sally in Denver and I had perhaps heard of them before but hadn’t been exposed to their music. They were AWESOME. I have trumpeted their brilliance since that day, and I was thrilled to find out they were doing a house concert in New Braunfels on a Sunday that we happened to have off after a long gig weekend. It was the perfect way to wrap up the weekend and by the time we sat down there were only front row seats left. This was ok with me but I couldn’t really fit more than two Sallies in a photo at a time.

Also in a twist of good fortune, I was right in front of the awesome Jeri who is a fabulous guitar player. I was trying to soak in some technique for my current electric studies. It turns out we admire some of the same players. I can spot a Duke Levine fan anywhere.

Anyway – I’ll say it again. Go see Blame Sally and buy their records. One of the few bands I’ve seen lately whose albums hold up to their live show. As Martha would say, this is a good thing.
