Not the same old thing!

As anyone who knows me will attest, I love watching classic and modern rock cover bands.  However, this weekend, I had the opportunity to enjoy music which I would consider "off the beaten track".  On Thursday, I took in a blues jam at the French Quarter restaurant in Pompano Beach where New Orleans food is served right alongside live Louisiana-Style upbeat blues.  Then, I happened to catch JP Soars @ The Poor House in Ft Lauderdale, who will be playing next Friday at The French Quarter.  He provided a mix of Blues and Rockabilly.  Finally, on Saturday night, I took in Ever So Klever at the Coconut Creek Casino - with a 3-piece brass section, they are quickly becoming my #1 recommended non-rock band in Broward County!  They will be playing again on the 21st. 

As we approach this coming weekend, take another look at the Weekend Broward schedule, look for some new names and see if you are ready for something a little different this coming weekend - you won't be sorry!

How I started WeekendBroward.com

Less than 6 months ago, I decided to experiment with a free website creation tool from Google called Google Sites.  It allows anyone to create a website by simply selecting an existing site and then making changes to it in order to personalize it to their liking.  I wanted a website that would allow me to pull together all the invitations I had been receiving via e-mail and Facebook for local bands.  It only took me a few hours to start the site, originally called Weekend Concierge.  The site I started with had a disclaimer that it was for 21 and over which I thought would be perfect since I really did not want to promote going out to bars to watch bands to anyone under 21.  I found out soon after that Google will not publicize any website with this designation.  I put a request into Google to remove the designation, but to this day, I never received a reply. 

And that's when I started all over....
