Right off the bat I'm going to apologize for not keeping up with this blog as frequently as I should. Lots of irons in the fire, breakdowns and a host of other reasons as to why I haven't been keeping this blog updated with Cuervo news.
It's a work in progress.
Cuervo has been having a good summer, better than expected considering he's been freaking out the past couple of summers with bugs and bees. He became an insane freakshow and very stressed out everytime the sun came out and the temperature warmed up.
Finally I decided the bs I was paying at the vet to calm him down was over-priced and pretty much useless. I bought a product from Soldan's by Natural Homeopathic Remedy called Anxiety for something like $14.99 and it has been working like a charm.
What a world of difference. You just put 3 or 4 drops in his water and it really has a calming effect on him. He's very obvious that the stuff works or I'd be the one stressing out dealing with his frantic freakshow all summer long. He's been much better and I highly recommend this product if your dog is having high-anxiety issues.
We've been to a few concerts this summer and they've all been great. Early in July we seen the great Sammy Hagar who has to be one of the best live rock-n-roll performers touring these days. Sammy and his band really tear up the stage and with his 30+ years rocking and rolling there is no shortage of rock-n-roll jams in his musical inventory. www.redrocker.com Definately one of the few artists I'd pay to see again and worth the money.
The next night we seen Kenny Wayne Shepard at the Common Ground Festival in downtown Lansing (www.commongroundfest.com) . Kenny has quite a history of playing the blues already at 27 yrs old. He released his first album (and best IMO) at the age of 17 called Ledbetter Heights. He's played with everyone from Stevie Ray Vaughn at the age of 13, to the great B.B. King and a zillion others. Kenny Wayne showed why he's known for his shredding abilities and him and his band played an awesome couple of hours of blues on a hot, muggy night. One word-JAM!
This past Friday night we went to see the local legendary Larry McCray sizzle on the guitar with his blues and his 4-piece band, 2 of the members consisting of his brother on drums and his cousin on bass. This guy is so under-rated it's a shame. He's been around a long time and just hasn't gotten the recognition he so deserves. The man can play, all the musicians flat out jam and his band has a really good groove. Larry McCray and his band are a fantastic blues band to go see if ever you have the chance. The only info I could find on Larry was his MySpace page so you'll have to do a search for Larry McCray there.
Today's a gorgeous day, sunny and about 80 so I'm heading out to take Cuervo to the park to let him for awhile. Then back to work on the puter projects I've been trying to get published and online. Hope to have at least a few of those projects wrapped up very, very soon.
