Before I head over to the big book release launch party http://www.blueguitarhighway.com/ at The Ritz Theater http://www.ritzdolls.com/ to get an autograph from the man himself, I would like to share my two cents worth. I picked up my copy at http://www.magersandquinn.com/ Booksellers upon release date and skimmed through it once, flipped it back over and then, like holding a new born baby for the first time, couldn’t let it out of my hands!

Saturday night, August 20th, around 8pm, I am talking with Meaghan Owens from Guitars For Vets at the souvenir/information stand during the Wolfe Park Blood On The Tracks Live concert in St. Louis Park about how to increase the donations from the previous show we did at Town Green in Maple Grove on Wednesday. I asked her what they usually put the donations in? She said the little black case that is on the table that was also doubling up as a CD holder for the evening. She also said they can put the money in that old broken guitar as well that was leaning up against the table. It was donated to the Guitars For Vets by John Reimann. I went over to the guitar and handed it to my 10 year old niece Basha Goldwater who was also helping out with the merchandise table and said let’s go! I told her to try walking up and down the aisles with the guitar and I will follow.

“Nobody can fully understand the meaning of love unless he’s owned a dog. A dog can show you more honest affection with a flick of his tail than a man can gather through a lifetime of handshakes.” Gene Hill – The Dog Man. “It is a different kind of love between a dog and their owner than the love between human beings.” Gene Gittelson – The Jeweler.
