Friday night Fun - Whiskeytown

This is another of my all-time favorite bands, Whiskeytown, in a live performance of 'Excuse Me While I Break My Own Heart' from 1997. This is a song from their debut album 'Strangers Almanac,' a classic. If you don't own it, you should. Yep, that's Ryan Adams before he grew his hair down into his eyes and married Mandy Moore. And that's Caitlin Cary, too! Don't know who the dancing guy is.

Friday night Fun - Robert Plant & Alison Krauss

Here's a great song from one of my favorite albums of 2008, Raising Sand. Robert Plant and Alison Krauss with 'Please Read the Letter.'

Buh bye Blackhawks

Yes,the Red Wings have defeated the Blackhawks in the Western Conference Final.

Blackhawks are young and talented but green; but they won't be that way forever. Congratulations on your best season in years.

And take turns on the golf course tomorrow.
