<p>It’s a double bill with local comic <a href="http://www.lukebailey.com">Luke Bailey</a> and his Ukulele. Luke is lots of fun, and is the prime suspect in the case of </p>

<h3>All Star Central Florida Lineup</h3>
<p>Tony’s friends include <a href="http://www.jerrymincey.com">Jerry Mincey</a> and <a href="http://www.lukebailey.com">Luke Bailey</a>. I’ll be playing bass behind Tony with my groovy <a href="http://media.zzounds.com/media/brand,zzounds/p2234b-f5b1ba18649215b203b13c07837e5cbe.jpg">Rickenbacker</a>.</p>
<h3>Tony</h3>
<p>Tony writes some great songs that are a lot of fun to play. You can <a href="http://www.beefstewdios.com/pages/5/index.htm">hear some stuff</a> from his first album, but to hear his latest tunes you need to come to the show Saturday. The show is free, so I guess I’m not going to quit my software gig for this, but it will be fun.</p>
<h3>Jerry</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.jerrymincey.com">Jerry Mincey</a> is the quintessential Florida folk singer. He also writes some great tunes , and I’m sure Tony is thrilled to have him perform for us Saturday. Jerry is also playing all three days at <a href="http://www.floridastateparks.org/folkfest/">The Florida Folk Festival</a>.</p>
<h3>Luke Bailey</h3>
<p>If you ask Google for pages similar to <a href="http://www.lukebailey.com">Luke Bailey</a>’s page the search comes up empty. That’s because there’s no one else like Luke Bailey. Which is probably a good thing. But when Luke and Tony start playing those hysterical tunes, it all comes together. You’re guaranteed to have a good laugh and a great time. You can also hear <a href="http://www.geocities.com/lastguffaw/">The Luke Bailey Show</a> every Saturday at 5:00 AM on <a href="http://asp2.rollins.edu/wprk/">WPRK 91.5</a> the Rolins College station.</p>Mike Blakeurn:uuid:831ba3576f5d5843f13a90471764b7a02006-03-28T16:12:00+00:002007-02-20T13:05:41+00:00Rebirth Brass Band<p>We don’t get near as many visits from top notch musicians here in Orlando as they do in the big city, so I’m excited about this weekend.</p>

It will be a fun night, and a great excuse to wear my <a href="http://www.afunkyshoeandboot.com/Mensfootwear/BlkWWingtips.htm">black and white wingtips</a>
.
Stop by the house before the show for some barb-q.</p>Mike Blakeurn:uuid:dab038d0ac22c534e4e6e41b87f168f72006-03-08T01:39:00+00:002006-05-16T15:27:51+00:00Music in Central Florida<p>My muse has been awakening recently. The musical muse that is.</p>
<p>Last Friday, I had an awesome jam with <a href="http://www.beefstewdios.com">Tony Macaluso</a> . I say awesome because it was lot’s of fun, but I actually didn’t play very well. We recorded it, and I learn a lot when we do that. It’s kind of like “Release Early and Often” with Software.</p>
<p>Then, Sunday night, I jammed with Erwan Baleine. Again awesome. One because we didn’t record it, so I can’t be hyper-critical of my playing, and two, because Erwan’s girlfriend Clara made stuffed peppers with a Cuban flair, and Erwan made authentic, from scratch French Apple Pie.</p>
<p>Although we didn’t record, I have an mp3 of us playing a while back. So in honor of <a href="http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com">The Pragmatic Programmer’s</a> Beta Book concept, here’s a “beta” mp3. Like a Beta Book, it’s a bit rough and definately contains some bugs, but now we have something to improve on.</p>

<p>It’s always a magical time there at The <a href="http://orlandocitybeat.metromix.com/bars-and-clubs/ocb-bars-goinsidecladdagh-pg,0,2356280.photogallery">Claddagh Cottage</a> and yes those goregeous Irish girls really do hang out there.</p>
