This blog will cover my ramblings about upcoming live music in and around Portland and recommendations for getting out to clubs and concerts . . . . and whatever else I feel like blathering about.

R.I.P. Obo Addy...
For those who don't know - Obo Addy, world class musician from Ghana, passed away Thursday from liver cancer. His family has posted information on Caring Bridge: caringbridge.org/visit/oboaddy and have set up an indiegogo page to help raise funds for his funeral costs and medical bills and to help his wife, Susan Hamada travel to Ghana for his funeral as is required of her by tradition. He was an amazing man and musician; I made many drum cases for him to transport his beautiful drums...and he taught us so much about world music.
