This Blog is for you, Tim

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.

Highlights from 2009

Off and on for the next couple of weeks I will provide some photos or video of some cherished moments of BlueStone Ivory for our fans. The following is a video Mary Jo took with my Panasonic DMC-ZS3 HD digital camera at Jim & Jack's on December 18, 2009. It features the legendary Mr Bob Wilson singing and playing one of my favorite Otis Redding songs "I've Been Lovin You Too Long".

The super good news is that Bob Wilson will be playing with us a couple times later in 2010. So for all you Bob Wilson fans...watch your email and our website for our Bob Wilson Alert.

Last Weekend we had a great time at Bar Seventy-One. In fact it was a capacity crowd. Too bad about the Bengals...but we definitely rocked the people till 1:30. Our good Friend Steve Scavo stopped in and sat in on the drums for Mustang Sally. Great job Steve.

 

Today is Karen's birthday...Happy Birthday Karen! She is always at our gigs. One of our many very loyal fans. This photo was taken last year of our birthday tribute for Karen.

If any one ever has a birthday or an anniversary and at one of our gigs be sure to come up and let us know. We would love to dedicate a song to you and publicly eembarrass you from the stage. Well not quite to this extent! But we promise to take care of your moment of fame with BlueStone Ivory.

We would like to send out a message to all of our friends to keep Tim O'Shea, another of our loyal fans in your prayers. He has been struggling with a bout of cancer this past year. He has been through Chemo and yesterday went through surgery to remove an infected lymph node in his liver. We were told the surgery was successful and he is back on Chemo. He is not out of the woods yet so all we can do is Pray for his speedy recovery. Prayer is powerful medicine. If anyone would like to get a message to Tim, just comment to this post and I will see that he gets it.

Be sure to come out to Jim & Jack's this Friday & Saturday nights. That is where you can dance the night away to the Rock-N-Soul, Rhythm-N-Roll sounds of BlueStone Ivory.

How're we lookin?

2010 looks like it will be a terrific year for BlueStone Ivory fans. We will be playing a bunch. Starting in January...every weekend, February...every weekend, March...every weekend and April...every weekend.

WOW! There is more opportunity to see and listen to BlueStone Ivory than ever before. You can go to our website www.BlueStoneIvory.com for all the details.

New Years Eve was a real blast according to all that attended. I personally got to talk to many of the attendees and the consensus was two thumbs up all the way around.

 
Here is a photo of the festivities from December 31, 2009 just before the clock struck 12:00 and it turned into 2010. The dance floor was full all night long right up to 1:20 AM New Years day when we finally stopped playing.

The food was excellent, the service was superb and the guest's...well, they were great BSI fans. Each and every one.

As many know... New Years Eve is a special day for Ted our guitar player/vocalist. It's his birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY again to Ted.

New Years Eve turned out to be an exceptionally special day for another couple. Mark Walker and his girl friend Kerstin got engaged just before the festivities happened on the stage.

 Here is a short video showing off her sparkly ring.

We would like to wish them well in the future. Mark is our third guy on the crew that we use exclusively when we play the larger venues that call for a three man crew. Off & on during the summer you will see Mark working to help set up and then responsible for our lighting during the show.

This weekend we are at Bar Seventy-One in Deerfield Township. We start playing at 9:30 and play till 1:30 AM. Bar Seventy-One will be open for the Bengals game and are running a few specials they would like you to know about. They will have Drink and Appetizer Specials all afternoon during the big game. So come early, enjoy a great dinner and then you can dance the night away to the Rock-N-Soul, Rhythm-N-Roll sounds of BlueStone Ivory.
