Where are They Now - Louie Shelton

The other day we were discussing with a group of young people (< 25 years) what we consider to be the dismal condition of popular music these days.

Wanna Wanee?

If you’re within 100,000 miles of Live Oak, Florida, on April 16 & 17 then you’ll want to high-tail it down to this year’s Wanee Festival. Headline act is the Allman Brothers Band. Stephen Stills has added it and faves Derek Trucks and Govt Mule are gonna be there. As a matter of fact, everybody’s playing. Swamp stompin’ on steroids.

Tickets are on sale now.

Bob Hope Classic Closing In

Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night or show dates a million miles away can keep Don from the swift completion of his appointed rounds.*

The Bob Hope Golf Classic week gets under way Monday with the first practice days preceeding the Celebrity Pro-Am on January 20-22.

The tournament organization aims to make this year’s edition the most communicative ever. It recently gave the event’s official website a facelift and is targeting a youthful, media-obsessed golf generation via a Facebook page and Twitter account. All that and the usual Golf Channel TV coverage means there’ll be no shortage of updates for fans on the entire planet.

It’s Don’s third consecutive go at it. He and the other celebrity amateurs play the same course together on each day, making it easy for spectators to zero in on their favorites.
