Kinder Chaos: A Benefit for Children�s Mercy Hospital @ MIKE�S TAVERN
Presented by Pabst Blue Ribbon, this night features music by Gary Cloud (of The Broken Onlys), Tony Ladesich (of Pendergast), Mass St. Murder, Unknown Stuntman, Honeywagen, Shotgun Idols, and The Throttlers.
It seems we�ve become �Benefits-R-Us� here at Sad Dog HQ lately. But we�ll let you in on a little secret. Most times these benefits are some of the best fun to be had. There�s a fiercely strong and generous music community that comes out to donate in-kind their talent. This annual benefit commenced in 2004. Local music fan Tom Krowas and family were given great care by Children�s Mercy when their two week old son was admitted to ICU. It�s his way to say thank you by pulling together local bands and fans to raise some cash to help other families that have no means of paying and no insurance. Children�s Mercy puts forth strong community effort and Tom has lined up some the best local bands to help them out once again. It �tis a benefit but this line-up looks like another roaring great time and will help out some pups in need to boot.

Wanda Jackson �Queen of Rockabilly� w/ Rumblejetts @ KNUCKLEHEADS SALOON
Some call her the �Queen of Rockabilly�, call her the �Queen of Rock and Roll�. She has been nominated twice for Best Performing Female Singer (Grammy�s), is an inductee into the The Rockabilly Hall of Fame, The International Hall of Fame, The Oklahoma Country Music Hall of Fame and The International Gospel Hall of Fame and she has recorded between 50 and 60 albums. Wanda has a fan base that spans the globe and at 68 years old is still playing honky-tonks around the world. Her newest album is a tribute to friend and one-time boyfriend Elvis Presley, the man that encouraged her to sing rock and roll in the 50�s, before it was �cool�. I recently stood outside the Continental Club in Austin, TX with a line of people that extended down the block, all of us waiting to see Wanda perform. I missed the show but heard the praises as folks exited the club. She is a small lady full of fire and I am sure she will not only deliver some kickin� music but remarkable stories as well. Needless to s
ay, I have my tickets in hand and will be rockin� at Knuckeheads this Thursday eve. Tune into KKFI, 90.1 Friday, May 12, 5-7pm for Rockabilly Mood Swing and a live interview with the �Queen� herself. -jaq

JAQ�S NOTES:
Wolfgang�s Vault
Bill Graham was known as the �midwife of the modern rock concert�. Born Wolfgang Grajonca in Berlin, Graham changed his name after his arrival in the states. That name, Bill Graham, will forever conjure up images of the San Francisco rock scene, in particular the spirit and free wheeling attitude and �alternative culture� of the late 60�s and 70�s. During this period is when Graham established himself as �the� rock promoter of the time if not �all time�. He operated and booked shows at the legendary live music venue Winterland in San Francisco adding to its claim to fame prestigious shows and acts such as �The Last Waltz, numerous Grateful Dead performances, Jimi Hendrix, the last appearance of the Sex Pistols�, The Tubes, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, The Ramones and many more. In addition to Winterland, Graham operated and booked legendary clubs Fillmore West (San Francisco) which proved to be a home and launching ground to the �psychedelic music� scene and bands such
as Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Van Morrison and Otis Redding as well as the Fillmore East (New York City). Point being, a large majority of these shows were recorded and archived in the �Vault� and you can streamline these performance on the Vault Radio. It really is a fantastic voyage through time as you catch amazing moments in musical history, most of which occurred before the majority of you pups were even a glimmer in your mom and pops eyes. Today at work I caught Bob Dylan�s performance of �Romance In Durango�, Live 1975; Van Morrison�s �Moondance� 1970 @ Fillmore West; Neil Young, Bob Dylan and The Band @ Kezar Stadium 1975 and many many more gems that made my day roll by much quicker with much less humdrum entering the equation. For those who veer from anything associated with those psychedelic times, don�t be afraid to dive in and give it a shot. You will be surprised at what you will find buried in Wolfgang�s Vault.

DI�S NOTES:
Whew, a jolt, or lack there of, of Peoria, IL is all a girl needs to get rejuvenated about the local music she loves. I can�t even apologize or filter my comments about that cesspool of a town. Even for a savvy girl like myself I failed seeking out a live music joint with a bad cover of �Mustang Sally�. So when some tickets for a show happening at their arena landed in my hands my fellow travelers and I looked at each other said, �what the hell, better than the hotel bar and they have to have beer�. Even as I looked at those tickets printed �Gretchen Wilson: The Redneck Revolution Tour� with my head shaking, I cowboy�d up and hit the ATM. I�ll be damned if I�m going to run out of libation cash at a show as I suspected it would be.
Before I go and trash any creditability I may have earned let me just state, I love �a spectacle� and I knew surely that�s what the evening had in store for me. And quite frankly in times like this I look at overall production more than the sound ringing from the amplifiers so I was golden. Not to mention, get a few beers in me�and check�I can find some enjoyment in just about anything. And with that I will say thank you to my music gods for Van Zant in the opening slot. I�m a sucker for that southern rock back-field rock. It�s just a good time. But Gretchen Wilson, <<shakes head>> what the hell is the matter with American consumers? She�s one step up from Brittany Spears but Nashville-countrified. Young lass I got your number. Your constant rambling about your chart topping record won�t leash me in. Despite your grasp on those two young gals with home made G.W. tees scolding me in line at the girls� room for calling out the Spears comparison doesn�t qualify a validation. The Redne
ck Revolution is not propagating manners of young Americans. Give me a young punk anytime over that nastiness. I escaped with just a few bite marks on the ankles and one humbling moment, which brings me back to the cover song. Wilson�s unremarkable set ended with one chilling rendition of Heart�s �Barracuda�. While I can�t stand an entire cover set, when chosen wisely the correct selection marking one�s strengths or a darn good song can almost make up for an entire night of crap. Almost.

I�ve probably used up my max on words tonight but I just can�t end on a Gretchen Wilson note. Take a focused look back up there on the calendar above. We have a mighty one this week. My favorite time of year is here and it�s not marked by the Farmer�s Almanac or calendar. It�s verified by the number of good shows there for the takin�. My friend Cody and I were chatting about the wealth of diversity and quality in Kansas City right now. If you haven�t recognized that yet, it�s time. Get out and enjoy. For music lovers it just doesn�t get any better than it is right now in Kansas City.
