Just kidding, on Sunday we went down to Pueblo to catch the Big Head Blues Club show. I would certainly never live in Pueblo, but I really like taking day trips down there. We went to Walter's, had supper at The Senate, and desert at Brues Alehouse.
Then it was off to Pueblo Memorial Hall for Big Head Blues Club. That featured one of my favorites, Big Head Todd & The Monsters, teaming up with some other blues artists to play the music of Willie Dixon. Like myself, you might not think you know much about the songs of Willie Dixon, but every song they played had been made famous by other bands like Led Zeppelin, the Stones, and Hendrix. Guess that's just how the blues works - this guy should have been a household name and a billionaire given the success of all the bands that played his music, but he died in obscurity.
Anyways, great show. But no Big Head Todd stuff, and now I'm itching to see those guys in concert.
Our bartender at Walter's had told us about Neon Alley, so after the show we went and checked it out. Pretty cool. See, there are cool things to do in Pueblo if you just quit bitching about the place and listen to some of the locals who are trying hard to make it a cooler place.
