AH the little things in life. They are what make us smile most.
Sure winning a million dollars in the lottery will make you smile, until you start thinking about how you are going to deal with it and all the other worries. Finding the perfect french fry in a restaurant...nirvana.
COUCH SIDE NOTE: I think Dad Vince is correct when he says french fries are the most disposed of food served in restaurants. Ever notice how many people leave many fries on their plate?
Finding something that makes your world a little more comfortable is also a wonderful thing and this weekend I found just that.
Nancy and I had to stop at Walmart for a few items and as we were walking by the shoe area they called to me.
VINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNY
I looked around not knowing who was calling when my eyes fell upon them and I smiled and they smiled back
really, they did!
Normally, I wear my boat shoes around the house or I walk around in socks - this fact causing Mom Joan to wince as she does not like that! - and of course I am never completely comfortable.
I have looked at slippers - house shoes - what do you call them?
Well, these are sort of like crocks (which I do not wear), but they are warm inside, lined in flannel. The soles are a rubber, so they will not wear out quickly and when I slipped my feet into them...I thought of five words.
They are that comfortable.
They made watching Butler and VCU win their games and cause more brackets to reak around the country even more enjoyable.
They made cooking dinner on Saturday more comfortable...HECK-A-DOODLE, they are making sitting here writing this to y'all more comfortable.
The little things in life.... ahhhhhhhhhhh

This week:
MATTHEW DAVIDSON
and
The Band
GRAND MARQUIS
SIT ON
THE COUCH
Prior to this years International Blues challenge I learned of one of the entrants into the Youth Showcase. His name is Matthew Davidson and, at the time he was 12-years old. The evening he played I was there in the front row next to his beaming mom and dad.
Matthew held the audience’s attention as he stood alone with a mic and his electric guitar and played and sang.
He has played with Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Honeyboy Edwards. He has appeared at the Delta Blues Fest and the B.B. King Museum.
I will get to chat with Matthew and talk about this journey that began with a toy guitar at the age of three. We will also share some music from Matthew and his band and it is with a band that Matthew’s skills really shine.
Then I get to sit with the Ben Ruth (upright bass and tuba) and Bryan Redmond (vocals, saxophones), from the band The Grand Marquis.
Along with band members Lisa McKensie (percussion), Ryan Wurtz (guitar) and Chad Boydston (trumpet) they were finalists at this years International Blues Challenge and put on one hell of a show.
With a sound that will hearken back to the Nawlins speak-easy or 1950's Memphis you will fall in love with The Grand Marquis. Swing, jazz, blues, you can call it what you'd like. I just call it great.
We will take your calls and questions for both guests at 1.347.633.9400.
