Last night, 04-29-11, I went down to Famous Dave's to see Guitar Shorty. During the first break he went just outside Famous Dave's to have his photo taken by another fan. I followed along and got a couple shots of Guitar Shorty and a couple of his lady fans.

Candye Kane
On Friday, 04-15-11, I went down to Wilebski's Blues Saloon to see Candye Kane. I got there just before 07:30 pm and notice that there wasn't any band set up ready to play.
Eventually I heard that Candye Kane and Laura Chavez's flight had been delayed coming into the Twin Cities.
Here are some photos from the evening...

RJ Mischo
On Friday, 04-15-11, I went down to Wilebski's Blues Saloon to see Candye Kane. RJ Mischo was scheduled to play during the breaks and before closing.
I got to Wilebski's just before 07:30 pm and saw that nothing was set up on the stage. I went back to the person taking the money and ask if they were going to have some music tonight and two people said there was. Bands start playing at Wilebski's at 07:30 pm, so I know if would be a while before any music started. These two people never told me that Candye Kane was going to be late.
I sat around for a bit and almost decided to back home, before another employee mentioned to me that Candye Kane's flight had been delayed. I still didn't know if Candye Kane would be playing tonight or not.
Anyways, RJ Mischo and Jeremy Johnson set up and began playing first. RJ Mischo used to live in the Twin Cities, but now lives in Arkansas. He was back in town and played a few different venues during the past week.

Here are some images of Nick Moss & The Flip Tops when they played at Wilebski's Blues Saloon on Saturday, 04-09-11. A link to more images toward the end of this post.
Excellent music!!
More PhotosI saw that the stage lights weren't on while the Nick and the band was playing. I went to one employee who said that he couldn't reach the can for one of the lights that was on stage right. Later I saw him trying to reach it with a broom, but it didn't work. There are several lights above the stage that weren't on and those were the ones I was really wanted to have turned on.
After a little bit I saw another employee and asked him if he could have someone turn on the overhead lights. Well, he just looked at me and walked away. I will give him the benefit of the doubt he didn't hear me...but I really think he heard me!
The next day I went back to Wilebski's for another show. Once again I saw that the overhead stage lights weren't on. It took three of us running around to find someone to turn the lights on.
Then on Friday, 04-16-11, I went to see Candye Kane. Same thing! The overhead stage lights weren't turned on. I went to one employee who told me to tell the sound guy. Twenty minutes later the lights were finally turned on.
I think someone needs a check list!!!!!
