Eating In or Out?

We really only eat out on Sundays for breakfast, or when we eat at a gig. It's usually included when we perform. Even then, because of our diet, the menu items are limited. So, for that reason we do most of our cooking at home. Tonight we made a really tasty stir fry. We used whole wheat spaghetti pasta boiled then fried up in sesame oil. We got it so some were crispy, and some noodles still soft. Then we added a whole head of garlic, sweet yellow peppers, carrots, and then oyster sauce, spinach and tomatoes just before plating. It was really, really good. Try it, you'll like it.- MORE PHOTOS -

Where Is My Damn Lemonade?

Sometimes life doesn't play fair. Before the summer began we needed to replace our refrigerator in our RV, once it arrived the shippers had dropped and bent it, so we had it repaired and paid to have it installed...with all that had to be done, it wasn't until the day before we left that it finally got installed. Of course, the refrigerator didn't work. So all summer we have a extra pantry and we have to live out of an ice chest. No problem.

We also thought it was a good idea to get new brakes before we left, again no problem. They even went out of their way and installed porcelain brakes (which we didn't ask for), we figured fine, its an upgrade. Although it cost 75% more than any brakes we had previously purchased, but again no problem they will last longer - WRONG. Day before yesterday our brakes went out completely.

Great Last Night

July 31, 2015 - Last night at La Marina in Punta Banda, really great crowd all night; every table taken, every barstool taken, and the outside patio full too. fun blues lovin' group. Rachel, Oscar and I had lots of fun. 

Oh yah, and before we played the La Marina Restaurant served us a very nice blackened yellow-tail tuna with the best organic green salad I have ever been served in Mexico. Great night all the way around. Thank you to everyone that attended and Teresa Martinez for giving us the pictures.

I LOVE THE BLUES

John Pack - I LOVE THE BLUES. I have been a promoter my entire life, promoted my first festival at 19 and never stopped, more than 30 years later and literally hundreds of concerts later, none of the music or concerts I produced changed my life, other than to put food on the table. Until 10 years ago, when my wife Rachel and I were asked to help promote a blues festival, then 6 years later we were asked to help start another blues festival. It was 8 years we were involved in promoting blues. Then 2 years ago, on the suggestion of two wonderful musician friends of ours, Pancho and Sal Pace, we started performing blues ourselves. I never would have thought a music that was in its prime before I was born, would alter my life and my own future in such a profound way. Thank you to all the musicians and especially the blues musicians that we have come to know and love, you have brought much passion and joy into our lives and have changed our lives forever.

Beach Time

Beach Time - We took the girls (our dogs) to the beach so they could frolic in the waves. They had a great time on a beautiful day. The beach is on the end of "The Spit" as they call it around here in Punta Banda, Baja California. It's just down from La Marina Rest. Bar where we having been playing. Beautiful weather sunny and warm and the sand was that fine silky texture great to laying out a picnic and relaxing. - MORE PHOTOS -
