Bad backs, birthdays and more music weekends

YOU KNOW YOU are getting old when you throw your back out by simply swiveling in your chair. On the bright side, it happened during an awesome guitar lesson this morning with the awesome Katie Hogge, yet another young and talented player and singer.

A very happy birthday today to Pepper Spray and Second String Music security guard James McKinney. I think we are getting happy in the afternoon hours to celebrate.

Lots of music stuff going on this weekend as usual. Cori Lyssy and I (HartLyss) are getting ready for a show Saturday night at One Restaurant, if you are out and about and want to beat the heat. Special guest is Paul Wood.

And, this is hard to believe, but the Midsummer Arts Faire is only a week away. We've got another stellar lineup of local musicians for the Washington Park gazebo on both Saturday and Sunday. Throw in a Friday fundraiser for the Quincy Humane Society and Blues In The District, well you have another wild rock and roll weekend on tap.

Better find more ice for my back.
