Arrived in Tampa --- Downtown Hyatt, getting ready to start teaching for a prevent at the Youth Ministry Extravaganza, a yearly gathering of ELCA Youth Ministers from around the country.
Walking through the area I came across the Tampa theater and found a lone ticket in the 3rd row for the Los Lonely Boys (How Far Is Heaven?) Darn fun bluesy foot stomping, body swaying rock and roll show. The three brothers, Henry, Jo Jo and Ringo, deserve their Grammies. "It's just a mixture of everything we've learned: conjunto music from our father, Richie Valens, Stevie Ray, Willie. All the music that we've gathered… Fats Domino, Santana, Skynyrd." This is a variation on what Henry likes to call "the musical burrito theory,"
...and the night ends with the moon peaking through the clouds behind the Cathedral.
