I thought I'd share that Brian "Head" Welch will be in Bakersfield Aug. 1 since that's the closest to Modesto he's getting on his book tour.

He's signing copies of his memoir, "Save Me From Myself" which made the top 20 on the New York Times Best Seller list after just one week in book stores.

I've just written a social criticism after traveling to Minnesota about some of Bakersfield's trash problems. Do any Modesto areas have the same problems? Talk to me Motown Mojo...

Anyway...

I haven't blogged here in a while since all the hubbub with Motown Mojo and the Bee. Looks like the site is still running and people are still about forming an online community.

I represent a new literary magazine for the Central Valley, the Noveltown Review. If there are any venues out there who would like a couple of copies for their store or office, please contact me: nick@noveltown.net. You can also order online.

Motown Mojo granted me an interview a few days ago in an article I wrote about social networking sites and alt print media in the Central Valley...

Not many people did as much for valley music as Buck Owens did. His string of 20 number one hits inspired songrwriters here and world-wide to grab a pen and take to the stage.

Today country music mourns a legend. The lights may get a bit dimmer at his club in Bakersfield, The Crystal Palace, but the music will continue to play on and inspire because Buck Owens would not have had it any other way.
