Like Pomeroy, Take Advantage of Your Uniqueness.

Is this small town building unique? You betcha!

Tonight, we’re playing in DuBois, PA, and then tomorrow night, we’re set to play a gig at the Court Street Grill -a fine juke joint and “Southeastern Ohio’s Home of the Blues” -in downtown Pomeroy, Ohio.

At any rate, I looked up Pomeroy before we hit the road and was tickled to note they’ve got not one but two Unique Selling Propositions. Like me, you may not have heard of Pomeroy before, but this little town may be the only burg in the U.S. that’s mentioned twice in Ripley’s “Believe It Or Not.” They got the first hit for their three-story County Courthouse, which, due to the extremely hilly topography, is the only such building in the U.S. that boasts a ground-level entrance on every floor.

More interesting -to me at least -they’re the only community in the country that does not have a single four-way intersection. See that one for yourself. Me, I can’t wait to see it in person.

Yep, these distinctions may be small things in the grand scheme -but still, they are unique and somewhat remarkable. Enough so that I’m hoping we can get to Pomeroy early enough so I can walk down and check out the Courthouse for myself. Heck, if we were even driving through the area and not planning to visit, I’d probably make a little detour over Pomeroy way to scope it out in person and maybe have a beer at the Court Street Grill.

Remember, Mojonators, that when you’re promoting yourself -regardless of the size or scope of your business -every little advantage helps.

See you in Pomeroy?

More Rain? I’m About Ready For Docapalooza.

James Armstrong and Doc, relax'n.

James Armstrong and Doc, relax'n.

More rain -and lots of it -and the Good Doctor is getting a little tired of watching the grass seed wash out from the back acreage. I’m about ready to just leave it bare, keep it wet, and start staging some Friday Night Mud Wrasslin’ and Punk Rock Concerts. We’ll call it Docapalooza.

At any rate, thought you might enjoy this pic, taken this past Saturday in beautiful Henderson, Kentucky. Bluesman James Armstrong and yours truly relaxin’ a little in the beautiful warm sunshine before we had to change into our nice clothes and hit the stage at the W.C. Handy Blues & Barbeque Festival.

And -oh, my! -that barbeque! They loaded the band down with all we could eat and then some…it’ll be yogurt and energy drinks and tuna for me all week long.

If you’re around Henderson, make certain you visit the Festival this week. If you want a little more music in your life, I’m appearing tonight at Flanagan’s in Grand Rapids with my friend Junior Valentine. Let the good times roll, y’all.
