For the past 2 years, Lady Blue has been the host of a birthday bash at the international award-winning Blues On Grand music club. Brandon aka The Deacon has been the emcee/guest of honor both times, hence the evening's title, "The Deacon's Day Birthday Bash". This year it was once again a night to remember, and love was definitely in the air. Members of several different local bands, VIP special guest stars, future superstar up-and-comers, all just "folks" on this occasion...friends of someone who is indeed an incredible friend, husband, and real-life deacon--check your dictionary for this word's true meaning--my husband's picture oughta be beside it.
Anyway, there were simply too many great moments to share them all, from the little Brandon quiz shared humorously by Brian Holtz from KFMG, to the eclectic spur-of-the-moment combos, all the way to the thrilling finale of what we now call "House of the Rising Grace" which is Amazing Grace set to the tune of House of the Rising Sun. Not bad for a band that was born in the heart of a newly-married deacon dwelling in something akin to a "basement of the rusty gunk" back in early 2005. They say in marriage, the second year is one of the hardest, but getting past it is a significant milestone. We feel that sense of relief and escalation, both in our marriage and in the marriage called Lady Blue. Sweet benefits are sprinkling upon us like color specks on a sundae top. Sorry, that was a bit more Glinda the Good Witch than Blues Diva, but you get the picture. We're blessed, and we are chomping at the bit to create even more nights of musical blessing with our partners in rhyme, Randy-Randy Ramaekers, Kevin-sent from heaven McGinnis, and Ben-there-done-that Williams. See ya on the trail! peace, tina
