I've Got the Blues

Yesterday evening, I attended a live blues concert at a local bar. One of my coworkers supposedly loves jazzy blues (unbeknownst to me) and one of his favorite groups was making a stop here in Omaha. I've never really been much for blues-type music as I've always attributed it to a much slower beat that I normally desire. But, I must say, this was an awesome group, with mostly up-tempo songs (120 to 160 beats per minute) that really got my foot tapping. It was a fun evening, and I stayed for both sets, which lasted almost 3 hours (with a half hour break in between). I even danced to one of their songs. The group was the Candye Kayne Band. While the music was just a touch too loud, I suppose that's to be expected considering we were in a local bar, but otherwise, it was a great night to get out and enjoy something that I don't normally do.
