If you ever make it down here again let me know, maybe we can hook up - I have a friend who can sometimes score tickets to the shows at The House of Blues in the Gas Lamp.  It's a great venue, very intimate and the area is pretty fun in general ... right now their are a bunch of secret room speakeasies (like the prohibition days) popping up (they are usually bars inside of bars with secret passages, etc.) and of course San Diego is the micro-brewary capitol of the world, so there's always good beer flowing.

My favorite show I caught there (and one of my all time favorite shows in general) was defintely B.B. King.  He's awesome of course on the guitar, but he has to have one of the most powerful voices I've ever heard ... I swear he didn't even need a microphone!

When he came out, they put a chair on front of the stage and he took a seat and he says ... "I know what you're thinking ... B.B. King done got old, but I can still rock with the best of them" and then he proceeded to rock the house down like he was on fire!

Wow Stone, what a summer line-up indeed!  

A few years back ... ok maybe a decade or so back .  We went to Antigua and really enjoyed the music scene there (lots of cool Reggae).  But there was one night that really stood out to me ... we were at a formal (Black Tie) dinner party, except that it was on the beach and nobody wore shoes.  So there we were ~ Tux's on, toes in the sand, the Red Stripes were flowing and there was a guy who came in (just him and his acoustic guitar) and played a whole set dedicated to Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra and other Jazz type singers in which he turned them all into Reggae style.  It was just a stunning performance and caught us all off gaurd!
