NOW THAT'S THE BLUES

Friday night we caught up with our friends along with  Joe and Vicki Price down at Kiels Tap.  Joe plays finger style guitar in the Elmore James/Muddy Waters tradition, a bit rough and tons of fun. Their music has been described as a righteous, joyful, foot-stomping jubilee. Joe’s mean slide guitar brings a touch of Hawaii and a clean beachy vibe to Bellevue.
 If you like upbeat, straightforward blues, you can’t go wrong with what the Prices are laying down.


Vicki’s powerful bluesy voice evokes an image of a woman in a 1920’s speakeasy singing her heart out.

Joe and Vicki put on a great show for us.  Just when you thought Joe was pulling the train into the station for a set break,  he'd keep it rollin right on by and jam on two more tunes. 

Susie and a Butterfield sculpture at the Bradley Sculpture Garden in Milwaukee

For over 20 years, Montana sculptor Deborah Butterfield has transformed scrap metal, discarded wood, and bronze into larger-than-life sculptures of the horse that are breathtakingly beautiful.

Just three miles down the road from where Susie grew up are the works from the Bradley Family Foundation Collection

The exhibition in the gallery includes paintings, small sculptures and works on paper by Milton Avery and Alexander Calder just to name a few.
 Outside is the Lynden Sculpture Garden. It offers a unique experience of art in nature through its collection of more than 50 monumental sculptures sited across 40 acres of park, lake and woodland. The Lynden Sculpture Garden is committed to promoting the appreciation of art, sculpture and the environment. 
Just what we're looking at doing here at Bckrvue.
