So Mountain (”Mississippi Queen”, “Nantucket Sleighride”) played last night (with Joe Satriani), at the Fillmore Miami Beach at The Jackie Gleason Theater, it was a perfect night all around – 71 degrees and Mountain rocked! I must mention that Stu Hamm (Satriani – Bass) once again stunned everyone, he played a little Led Zep solo number that had everyone in awe. I saw the G3 tour back in ‘97  (Joe Satriani, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Steve Vai and Robert Fripp), and he was brilliant at that show too. Sigi (and I) backstage with Corky Laing (legendary drummer from Mountain) 

I stumbled on this message last night on Collins Ave. (and Lincoln Road) taped outside of CVS.  *For the record: Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton adopted Maria Burton in 1964  (born August 1, 1961). Plus, Sen. John Warner was married to actress Elizabeth Taylor on December 4, 1976. They divorced on November 7, 1982. His Daughter is named Virginia Warner and he had her (with heiress, Catherine Conover Mellon) before he married Taylor. 
Crazy message or an informed tip?

For those not paying attention at the Post Office this year – On September 8, 2008, in Washington, DC, the Postal Service issued a 42-cent, Latin Jazz commemorative stamp.

  A little rough out there today and overcast with the winds gustinging out of the west at a quick pace. I only lasted about 15 minutes in the surf, even though it was a comfortable 80 degrees (water temp!)

 … I guess it can grow on trees! (only in Key West)

 My fellow talented Miami homies were on NPR, have a listen. (broadcast Sat, October 18)
