Just As She Is…

Just As I Am is Sandy Carroll‘s debut album (due out on October 18) on the Catfood Records label. And quite the album it is.
Carroll has been singing the blues and paying dues for a while now. She headlined at the Lafayette’s Corner club on Beale Street in Memphis when that famed street re-opened in 1983. She has her own note on Beale Street and has released several other well received albums for other labels.

Except a hangover... tried it,  just made me want a drink.

Beacon Won!

Seems that's the new name of CS Charters' new boat.

You may remember Capt. Bruce and the Bahama Star from an earlier post.

Got an email from Bruce today, showing the progress on Bahama Star's successor.

Wow!

When you have a few minutes... kick back, put on a headset or turn up the speakers, and listen to this... it worth your time.

A simpler time

Before Walt Disney World...  we found other forms of entertainment down here in Florida.

This looks good...

 From Wikipedia:

The story involves a journalist named Paul Kemp, who moves from New York to work for a major newspaper, The Daily News, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Set in the late 1950s, the novel encompasses a tangled love story of jealousy, treachery and violent alcoholic lust among the Americans who staff the newspaper.

Go my attention.
