Wandering & wondering Waikiki with the Lissa girl. She was chief photographer and trail boss. As we headed down the beach she came across this beautiful photo of “Joy.†The kids got the eye.
Aloha
Headed for vacation, so things may be a bit sparse here on boisee.com for a couple of days. Think I'll leave with a photo I found at Farmer BROWNS's Friday night at the Blues & Brews. Don't you find something romantic about old farm equipment?
Missing Wisdom
Three sayings that seem lost to the past. . .
Colby's Love
John Nemeth is a Blind Pig-update
Saw the local superstar for just a moment this weekend. He told us that he still has not gone into the studio to record. He also let us know that both his Mexican and European tours went well and hopes to record this summer. Expect even bigger things from John.
Shakers Shaky? Bar update
One of my favorite martini mixing rumor mongers, tell us that Shakers on Idaho and 8th may be for sale.$350,000.00 including the liquor license. Seems reasonable, until you look at the track record of the location. Has anything worked here since it was a bank? Not sure anyone can make this doomed location work-Even a martini mixing rumor monger!
Blues And Brews

Big Jack Back?-Update II
It is official, Idaho Radionews .com reports Jack will be doing weekends on KDJQ. Jack is also heavily involved in the promotion biz and will be doing voice work for certain Citadel stations including Spokane. It’s good-Jack’s Back at least part time.
Gophers!
My daughter and I have been looking for a car this last week. As we traveled from lot to lot we noticed an unusual behavior.
In some car dealerships the sales people would “pop up†just like the "wack-a-mole" arcade game. They would stand and their smallish eyes would glow in hopes of “fresh meat.†It was particularly noticeable at lots were all the staff wore the same shirt. In one Idaho Center dealership, so many of the critters were about they out numbered the customers by 10’s. It was spooky how their faces would follow us as we moved through the used vehicles. We didn’t dare get out for fear of being attacked by the golpher sales people!
Bill friends are on top!-UPDATe
The benefit for Bill’s Benefit was so wonderful last night. The Rose Room was awash with warmth and good Karma. I’m guessing that over $2000.00 was raised.Thanks you to everyone that came. A special thanks to the musicians and folks who donated and bid on the silent action.
Hare’s a Silly Rabbit!
Thomas Hammered?
Anybody know why Thomas Hammer downtown was closed all weekend? Dawsons is packed today(Monday.)
New Banner
Thanks Don!
Eight Days make dealers Weak!
Friday night at the HorseShu in Jackpot!
Generations of the Day clan gathered to celebrate Andrew and Ellissa’s twenty first B-Day.
What a sight, with 8 Day’s and couple of Jacob's and one Blade for luck we had all bases covered for hours at the Black Jack table. The family fortune and reputation was at stake. Fortunately the beginners brought luck. Aces flew at young Andrew and Liss showed signs of both her Gramma’s style.
Many a Day played throughout the night. Lissa closed the Shu somewhere near Daylight. That's my girl!
Can’t wait for Jessica to reach 21!
Blues at South
What a cool band they have at South Junior High. Band teacher Dennis Keck is allowing his students to enjoy music. It showed when the Blues In The Schools crew showed up on Thursday last. This time Nancy McIntosh provided her powerful vocals to Richard Soliz’s guitar and Mr. Harris’s harmonica and keys. Folks we are getting this program together. The combination of just a little instruction combined with lots of playing with the professionals is powerful. As I have said before, it is so satisfying to see these young men and women respond to The BLUES.
