Be sure to catch me, Dr BLT, all the way "LIVE" at the ELEMENT LOUNGE, 1927 K Street in Bakersfield, California on Saturday, January 23, 2010 at 8 pm for a set of original Dr BLTunes like the one I plan to develop as a multi-artist recording soon to raise money for victims of the earthquake in Haiti:

The day was Tuesday, January 12, 2010.  I came across these alien cowboy hitchhikers on my way to work the other day, on the freeway enterance on Buck Owens Blvd., right across from Buck Owens' Crystal Palace. I was in a hurry but stopped to introduce myself. They were silent. I asked if they were in a band, they said no. I asked if they were cowboys. They said no. Then, in a strange sort of sci-fi voice, they said in unison, "We are carpenters." I was running late for work, so I had to leave the scene of this alien carpenters sighting. Only in Bakersfield. I sense a new song in the works.

Well, there were two great things, musically, to happen in the decade everybody seems to be maoning and groaning about.  Those were the return of the Bakersfield Sound, compliments of Bakersfield and Beyond, aired on kwmr...

DECEMBER 19, 2009 was an historic day in the evolution of the Bakersfield Sound.  It was truly magical and incredible, but I won't tease you any longer with bits and pieces of the story of the recording of HOMELESS CHRISTMAS MEDLEY.  You can find all the details here:

Stayed tuned for more, and I mean that literally!

Don't feel hopeless in response to the homeless.  If you're a musician, there's a big way you can help out by making music this year.

For details on THE BAKERSFIELD SOUND OF CHRI STMAS multi-artist/muti-band recording project, and to play some Dr BLTrivia, take a little trip underground:

Imagine there ain't no parties
except the celebratin' kind
imagine there's no right wing
or left wing, no it's simply
you and I
imagine all the people
seekin' common ground
yee hi ee i
you may say it's over
but we've only just begun
I hope someday you'll join us
and the world will live as one...

Other guys may feel threatened or insecure after seeing the movie, New Moon, with their wives or girlfriends. Not me. What's that punk's name who stars in it again? Oh, yes, Taylor Lautner. Well, I noticed that my pecs were actually much bigger than his. Maybe a bit softer, but definitely bigger.

PS: Please, no man boob jokes!

There's a lot going on when it comes to the underground Bakersfield-sound-grounded music scene these days.  There's an exciting new multi-artist recording project for the homeless of Bakersfield called THE BAKERSFIELD SOUND OF CHRI STMAS, and then, of course, a much needed, long-awaited catalyst of Kern County country music, also the epicenter for a brand new Bakersfield Sound Revival.  Of course I'm talking about Bakersfield and Beyond, the radio show out of Marin County accessed by fans all over the world via internet stream.

To get the scoop on the underground Kern County country music scene, you've always had to travel to the underground.  Today is no exception, but then again, "if you ain't goin' underground, you ain't goin' anywhere!"
