Tony pays tribute to the visionaries in this week’s Roadhouse Podcast. Unfortunately, Odeo is still not collecting his feed (or that of many other podcasts I listen to). Odeo hasn’t responded to my help request, and I don’t think they are going to. Could just be me, but it appears as if the folks running that site are MIA (and no longer interested).

You can listen to the podcast at Tony’s site, however, and you can download it there, too.

My sister Lara and I were talking about American Idol on the phone the other day, and I mentioned how cool these guys were:

What did you think, Lara?

I like Chris Sligh and Blake Lewis.

Thanks to my parents, who watched the kids last night so I could go out for a change, I got to see the Kelly Richey Band live at Darwin’s. Kelly was awesome. If you get a chance to see her, you should. Here is a repost of a clip of Kelly playing Jimi Hendrix’s “Hey Joe”:

When we saw her at Darwin’s, she played behind her head, just like she does here, and it was so cool.

I have to tell a little story — when we walked in the bar, we sat down in the back. I looked around the room a bit, then noticed Steve was sitting right next to Kelly Richey. She and the band were at the next table. After the show, I got a chance to meet Kelly and talk with her. She was very nice and approachable, and so gracious.

I’m a fan for life, and now I can’t wait to see her again when I get a chance.
