Grit in the Gears

I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes. I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over. I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong. And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions. I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely. It's what we do.

Homemade Jamz Blues Band.

Just happened across these guys via the magic of the internet...or Bifurcated Rivets...

Bifurcated posts a delicious selection of "eclectica for epopts". So if you're an epopt short of some eclectica, a visit might be of worth.

The Homemade Jamz Blues Band is a trio of siblings in Tupelo, Kyle, age 14, Taya, 9, and frontman Ryan, 16... So it's a kids band, yeah?
Nope. Not at all, It's a blues band. For people who like to listen to the blues.
Rather than post a youtube... Here's a couple of links, one to their "Myspace" site, listen there...
Oh... and check out their myspace friends-headed by BB King, I see Taj Mahal there, Eric Clapton... Alicia Keys...
Also see them at NPR, and listen to more tracks.
They are in demand, a notable tour schedule... Chicago, Canada, Switzerland, they're good.
And their drummer is nine years old!
