This video is amazing. First of all I wanted to feature our dear friend Tim O'Shea who had major cancer surgery last Monday morning, being given huge doses of Chemo and came out to see and hear his favorite band BlueStone Ivory. He had just enough strength to get on the dance floor during his favorite song "Standing on Shaky Ground" by Delbert McClinton. He really has the moves for just getting out of the hospital...doesn't he?
It will also show you a BSI performance from my perspective on stage. I stand to Rusty's left just behind Ted. I video'd this during our performance last Friday night. It looks and sounds a little different from here?
We plan to dedicate this song to you Tim every time we play it. Our thoughts and our prayers are for you to have a speedy recovery. We hope you will soon be able stop the Chemo and be able to taste food again. May God bless you till we see you again soon we hope.
This weekend we are playing a double header. It starts on Friday night at a new club for BlueStone Ivory. Putters 2 Putt in Maineville. We hope to make this a regular stop throughout the club season.
Saturday we are at Carlo & Johnny in Montgomery. Small club but they like us and we like them. It is a mutual labor of love for all of us. Visit www.BlueStoneIvory.comfor all the details.
Hopefully we will be releasing our entire Summer schedule in a few weeks. I can give you a few hints of where we will be: June 6th a brand new festival for BSI, All Saints in Kenwood. Right next door to where BlueStone Ivory was born at Moeller HS. June 12 we are at St Maximilian in Liberty Township. June 24 we will be in Lawrenceburg for the their Music on the River concert series. July 9th at our favorite summer place Coney Island with JD Hughes and Sunday June 11 at the Mason Sunshine concert Series. Just to name a few. So stay tuned for more summer concert and festival updates.
We hope you all enjoy the BSI blog. We try to put an interesting point of view on our performance and the personalities of the members of BlueStone Ivory and our fans. If you have any suggestions...feel free to leave a comment by clicking on the comment button below.

A nice tribute to a very nice guy! He was "into" the song you dedicated to him and I know he enjoyed being on the dance floor with a bunch of friends dancing and listening to the music he dearly loves. I think he was touched by the carnations we all gave him during "Mustang Sally".
The going is tough right now, Tim, but your BSI family is praying for you every day and we want you back with us as soon as possible and as much as possible.
Peace, Joy, Hope and Love, Carol Schilling :o)
