We have a South Tampa House Concert planned for Thur Dec 29. Thanks to Doug Travers for posting these two videos from the Dome concert:
E. Mean Mary SOUTH TAMPA HOUSE CONCERT Recap. We had a really super South Tampa House Concert last night with Mean Mary. Mary is so talented & charming & on & on. There was an x-tra special treat too. Rebecca Zapen was in the house & Mary invited Rebecca to the “stage.” (yep. we have a stage.. sort of.) Rebecca obliged and performed two of her songs for us. Very nice! ( Rebecca is a busy bee. Ck her schedule here: www.zapen.com )
We also had some newcomers in the house last night, one of whom was trying to figure out what the heck was going on. “Who organized this? Whose house is this?” I explained that I organized it but that it was Craig’s house. I further explained that altho Craig & I were a couple that I lived down the street in my own house. To which he exclaimed: “Two houses. That’s a great idea! Now I’ve just gotta figure out how to convince my wife to get her own house.” : – )

F. Phil Lee South Tampa House Concert (Sun Nov 6) www.phillee1.com
A personal plug from yours truly – me. I’m a HUGE Phil Lee fan. He’s at the top of my favorite musicians list. If you come out to see him, I think you’ll understand why.
While I was in Nashville recently, I picked up the Oct 13-19, 2011, edition of the Nashville Scene where I found a writeup by Jim Ridley in the Critics Pick section about a concert with the Twenty-Eights (a Chuck Berry tribute band) & the opener PHIL LEE: “..... The Twenty-Eights live show is one of the most fun you’ll see all year – something we could say just as easily of their opening act, Phil Lee, whose You Should Have Known Me Then remains our favorite singer-songwriter album of the Aughts. To have them together – it’s as if Christmas arrived two months early. “

Phil Lee – one man, one guitar and a bag of great songs about love and death, misplaced faith, discarded spaceships, hard times - and the funny side of all that. Guaranteed to please!
Sun Nov 6. 5:00 Doors. 5:30 Concert. $15-$20 suggested donation for Phil. Send me your RSVP & I’ll provide the address, etc.
Hows about a traveling mini-fest? Doors for the Phil Lee South Tampa House Concert is set for 5:00 with concert at 5:30. The reason for the strange timing is that Rod MacDonald will be in an early afternoon concert at the Jan Platt Library – which is about 8 minutes from the house . Rod’s concert begins at 2 & should be over by 4:30ish.

If one were to so choose, one could attend Rod’s concert at the library & then drive down to the house and attend Phil’s concert. A great double whammy. Sounds like a swell idea to me! Perhaps Rod will stop by the house too (altho I’m not sure about that).
