Laura Chavez Rocks

Okay Kids, it was always our intent to turn you on to new and exciting guitarists. This one is even more fun for me because this is my guitar teacher. She is a true talent and, well I don't have any talent, not a drop. I am Steve Martin sitting on the front porch of the cabin trying to keep time. My friends David and Jeff are also taking lessons. This only proves that Laura can not only rock, she is a patient sole for putting up with old farts who want to grow up and be rock stars.

Laura can be heard playing acoustic with the also incredibly talented Lara Price and is part of The Lara Price Band. Check them out at:
Lara Price Band on MySpace

Laura will also be jamming with the most entertaining:
Candye Kane and The 2008 Blues Caravan on tour in Europe in January and February

HENDRIX at Woodstock

Couldn't wait another week, just needed to hear Jimi

Richard Thompson

Had to put Richard up here on the site. Went and saw him live last night.... Wow, he is so incredibly talented and passionate. He did an all request performance where people filled out little strips of paper with whatever request they liked. As you can imagine people took this a bit too far. Someone asked him to sing the ABC song. He hung in there and plowed through it all. I couldn't believe his guitar skill. No wonder he is in Rolling Stones the top 20 guitarist list.

Here is one of his most popular songs: 1952 Vincent Black Lightning. I really like this link because it looks like he is sitting in his hotel room.



I am including the following link to his recent anti-war song. I do not have the same philosophy about the war but I think the overall tone, feeling and voice of the song supports the individual soldier. It was incredible to hear it in person.

Dad's Gonna Kill Me

Note: Dad= Bagdad, Alibaba = Iraqi people , HumV Frankenstein = Armor Plated HumV
