My new rockin' friends

I am most likely going to be hanging out with these guys down in Baton Rouge.



They're called Baton Rouge. As you might imagine from the photo, they had a minor hit in 1990.

I checked in on them on the Internets to see what they were up to so I'd know what to chat about when I saw them about town. They had the one hit album in 1990, then the one after that tanked because we all know what happened in music after that, Kurt Cobain! Then, for some reason they released another album in 1997. I was most interested in guitarist Kelly Keeling's website, which promotes his latest CD, "Eat a Pickle." Somebody named Reverend D says this about him:

"Kelly Keeling is one of Rock's most influential and prolific vocalist / song writer of our time, and without a doubt the most famous unknown musician on Earth." A bold statement but then consider his catalog of work. With 30 CDs and 4 movie soundtracks to his credit, not to mention the years of touring, this is one hard workin' recording artist!

Check out his discography or just pop his name into any internet search engine and watch what happens. I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that you've been rockin' to his songs for years, and never even knew it! Take a stroll through this web site and expand your musical knowledge!"

Wow, pickles and doughnuts; that sounds rockin', all right. Like the link to John 3:16 at the bottom. I thought that particular Bible passage was for putting on signs at wrestling matches, though. All cattiness aside, I am intrigued to see all the rockers he's worked with, and studied his resume in case I'm called upon to play Six Degress of Don Dokken, as it seems the hard-rock musicians all shuffle around & work with each other over time. Note to self: ask him about collaborating with Alice Cooper.
