Patrick “Po” O’Hara and I  had the privilege of stopping by the Foothills School on Tuesday for a Blues in The Schools Program. Sponsored by the Boise Blues Society, BITS brings the power of Blues Music to students. Blues influence, history and importants are emphasized. However the real magic is when professional musicians like Po share their passion with kids.

After a quick introduction, young Mr. O’Hara took over. He quickly built rapport and respect. After a quick look at history, Po ran through a series of Blues standards-traditional to modern. With an understanding of the music, Po got the kids involved. 1st just stomping of feet and clapping. With the help of teachers Jessica and Jennifer  he soon had them writing Blues songs and performing. The favorite of the day had to be “broccoli Blues.

Thank you Po, You did a great job, glad I could be along to help.

In the West: 20 towns of the future

Palo Alto, San Diego, Tucson, Pasadena, Denver, Boise, Fairbanks, and more.

There was a time when Boise City made most of the “Best of” lists. Including my favorite Best place to own a dog.

Been a while since I have seen one.

In the old Rock days we used to say “many good seats available.” If you hurry you can still take this class. So far this class has some fun people in it and looks to be very fun, fun indeed.

It is great to share a passion for photography in a easy one day class. . .

I will be teaching a class called Beyond Pointing and Shooting.

This one day class is open to all photographers, regardless of experience level or camera type. The upbeat, fun class will not be ‘technical,’ but emphasize how to find your photographic passion and how to see and capture great images.

Where: The Gold Room of the Rodeway Inn (where the Connector meets Curtis), Boise Depot

When: Saturday, February 20th, 9:00 a.m.- noon, outdoor session at the Boise Depot starts at 1:15.

Who: Boise photographer David R. Day plus noted portrait photographer Melissa “Click” Larson

What else? An on-line forum for class discussion and photoreview.

Cost: Winter Special Rate $75.

Some of What You Will Learn:

The biggest reason you missed the picture

Why getting closer is better

Why conflict creates beauty

Why a good ear helps a good eye

How to take better night photos

How to take better action photos

How to take better portraits

Almost every time I post one of these ads or rumors someone says . . . “The Bouquet ?“ to which the reply is no, don’t think so. This time, I think it may be. Anyone know?

Looks like one of Boise’s oldest live music venues is calling it quits. Can’t imagine a world were there is no live music on the 6th street. This sucks!

However look for SpindleBomb to show up somewhere else soon.
