Introduction (START HERE)

After orbiting around the network of the local music scene here in Bay County, Florida for about 2 years, I decided to start a blog about it. I plan on making a chronicle of the local happenings and my experiences. I will review venues and bands, local and national, that perform in our area. I also plan on featuring local musicians from time to time. I am doing some research on the appropriate posting frequency. Comments or suggestions are welcome! Stir up that MONKEYDUST! (Thanks to Trey Broege for the blog name)

And I feel like I've been here before Feel like I've been here before And you know it makes me wonder What's going on under the ground, hmm- Crosby, Stills and Nash A message comes through on social media from two musicians named John and Vincent. "Come to The Ghetto Palace tonight."  I have been wanting to revisit this unique venue since my first visit here as a spectator.  It is another place in my travels that is hard to explain the location of.  Even the GPS in my wife's Mustang had trouble finding it the first time. Crook and Vicki are the owners of the building and they generously open this venue up on a semi-monthly basis.  They have a shared goal to build up the local music scene under the moniker "Music Matters".  They also run a shoe collection drive near the holidays called "Happy Feet".  I humbly ask the reader to support these two fine efforts.  These two people are what I refer to as a "bookend power cou

I will remember you, your silhouette will charge the view, of distance.......atmosphere.....-Yes I am fairly active on social media and I have joined many groups on facebook.  One of these is called "Music of the Florida Panhandle" which seemed like a nice bunch of folks in the local music scene.  It was apparently started as a forum for drummers, but administrator duties had been handed to a bass player named Ken.  He explained that he had been fairly busy lately organizing "Battle of the Bands" type events and had recently become ill.  He asked in the forum if anyone would be interested in being made an admin of the group.  Myself and another bass player named Tom both volunteered.  Why must it ALWAYS be the bass players?  I received friend requests from both of them and accepted. I had been adding mutual and local musician friends for a while on social media, and discovered many great people.  I am guilty of  adding everyone who asks at first.   I

You need a change... When you make that change... Don't look to see... I'm alright- Seal Let's start the week with some free thinking interaction! I shouldn't have come! I was supposed to die back there, but I didn't. It would have affected time. Don't worry.... ...that I'm not like anyone else. I love to make nonsense lyrics to instrumental music. As Seal puts it; a bad habit that Trevor his producer (and myself) share, THE INABILITY TO LET GO!!  Seeing Lars Ulrich   currently gives me a glimpse of what I will look like at 80 years old. It  doesn't detract from what I love doing... making music! I am trying to find full motivation for my current situation, obfuscation for my life station and theobromine for my soul.  I fear there  might not be anything more surreal than me eating a salad and watching streaming videos.   Where is the FUNK? Where are the BLUES? I want to play ripping bass solos without e
