It's easy to see why people fall in love with the Southern California lifestyle. On a blue sky Saturday it felt like everyone was outside doing something they enjoy. We saw runners, plenty of road bikers, campers, folks at bazaars, and others passing time at little cafes. Down on the beach there were families, friends just chilling, and plenty of surfers. And if you feel hungry it is not hard to find a fish taco joint or some kind of snack shack. It sure was swell to hang out for a day before heading out again.

At the Orange Peel
I sure do like smaller venues to hear live music. We caught Luceo and Ryan Bingham at the Orange Peel in Asheville this week. It sure was a swell night listening, seeing, and hanging tight with my girl.

The Festiva
My son-in-law, now just my son, Raf until this year had a Ford Festiva in what we will call Rocket Red. It proved one man's heap is another man's treasure. This little chariot of joy carried him through school and then off to work on its tiny 12" wheels. While it's value may have been slight, it achieved knowing smiles from other driver's and envious glances from hipsters. I bet he and Baby Girl will miss that car. Now, every time I see one I think, "There goes a Festiva - Raf Edition". Here's thinking of you, son.

We love to visit this little spot a bit off the main drag when we visit Las Vegas. It is a true throw back. Even some of the customers look like they were in Vegas back in the 60s. We asked our waiter and she said about 60% of the room are locals and the rest are folks have discovered what is going on. The band works the floor and most everyone gets involved with singing, shouting, and clapping. It's a good time. You have got to love old school.

Wow. Really...just, wow.
A gift from buddy, Paul, at lunch today. It's instant awesomeness. Check out the creepy airbrush work on the cover.
About the actual album....the product of the two singers' unlikely and turbulent relationship and marriage, it attempted an even more unlikely musical melding of Allman's southen rock with Cher's idiosyncratic, personality-driven pop. The uncharacteristically airblown cover notwithstanding, Allman's musical ideas and singing generally took the lead.
The album was not well-received; Rolling Stone said "It's hard to imagine a more inappropriate combination ... It's the bottom of the barrel after a long fall for Gregg, and more of the same for Cher".
