Ask Johnny Winter a question and WIN one of his CDs
I’m taping an interview with rock-blues legend Johnny Winter tomorrow and I’ll post the podcast of it on GMG. Johnny Winter is an icon. One of the best guitar players alive, excellent voice, and perhaps one of the best blues producers ever.
Next month Johnny Winter turns 70 and has a brand new 4-CD set coming out. In two weeks (1/31) he’s performing at the Larcom Theatre in Beverly (there are still a few tickets left. Get them here.)
His label sent me a couple of his critically acclaimed 2011 CD, “Roots”, which is spectacular and proves his status as one of the greatest blues men of all time (as if anyone would argue).
Put a question in the comments to this post and I’ll ask it tomorrow. Better yet, I’ll give away a CD to the best question submitted.
I need these questions by NOON tomorrow SUN 1/19.
Let’s have some fun!

Found At Shaws- Spotted Dick
When was the last time you had yourself some tasty Spotted Dick? As far as Spotted Dick brands go, you gotta go with Heinz over Hunt’s, right? What kind of savage buys Hunt’s over Heinz anyway? If you see someone at the supermarket at the Spotted Dick section pick up the Hunt’s over the Heinz just back away slowly. Clearly they’re sociopaths that could snap any moment and riddle the place with AK47 fire.

The positive energy radiating from this place off the chain.
Good people top to bottom and fun times are guaranteed just by being in their presence.

Go and have a fun time and at the same time support a tremendous group of young energetic people who are putting in a ton of energy to make our community a better place.
Huge thanks to major sponsor of the Buoy Auction Cape Ann Savings Bank-

Are you rockin the hipster man-bun?
Jared Leto
Does the “man-bun” appeal to you? Do you think it practical, sexy, or silly, or does it depend on who is wearing?
David Beckham
First Chair author Lauren Salapetek writes:
According to Vaughn Acord, celebrity stylist to the stars, ““the man-bun” is a real statement maker; it oozes confidence and shows character. But, don’t confuse it with a ponytail – the man-bun is definitely manlier; think samurai. It also frames the face, allowing chiseled features to stand out. And, it is best paired with a beard.”
Here are Vaughn’s tips on how to style the man-bun:
STEP 1: Start off on damp hair. Rub a wax through hair from root to tips that will create separation and definition to hair so when it is pulled back, it is not completely slick. Try: V76 by Vaughn V-Rated Wax.
STEP 2: Next, using your hands, loosely pull hair back above the nape of the neck.
STEP 3: Secure with an elastic pony holder, looping hair through, making it appear as effortless as possible.
STEP 4: You can either wear it completely slick back or leave it as is, but for a slicked look, apply a grooming cream to get rid of any flyaways.

Grilled Basil Chicken & White Bean Salad
This week “diet-healthy” food posts have been popping up all over the internet. After cringing at the bland, boring, and unappetizing shares, I decided to headed to the grocery store to pick up some key healthy ingredients that will put bland and boring on the back burner once and for all.

Meals packed with flavors that are easy to prepare, will be showcased in a way that even non- dieters will want to give them a try! I will share easy to prepare, breakfast, lunch and dinners recipes, packed with flavorful combinations of fruits, vegetables, and protein.

A new look for FOBs Donna Ardizzoni & Rick Moore
You know Donna Ardizzoni from her GMG posts, beautiful photos, One Hour At A Time Gang and, most importantly, her indomitable enthusiasm!
What you may not know is what she, and her husband, Rick Moore, do for their day jobs. Check out their brand new website (built by yours truly) and you’ll find out. This is another one of our websites that uses responsive design, which means that it automatically adjusts its design to the device you’re using. More and more people access the Web from their phones and tablets. That’s why nearly all the new websites we build use responsive design techniques that allow you to show different things on different devices using the same exact content and code. Here’s how the new site looks on a computer:
Below you’ll see two images that show how it looks on an iPhone held portrait (the way you hold it when you’re using it as a phone — that is, to talk). Notice how the menu system is completely different on the iPhone. When you tap the menu icon (the 3 horizontal lines on the right above Rick’s picture in the image on the left) the menu drops down automatically as you can see in the image on the right. This menu and the horizontal menu, that you see in the image above, both use the exact same HTML code and content.
Just in case you were wondering, it looks even better on my Samsung Galaxy SIII than it does on the iPhone. See that to the right.
It looks great on an iPad too. And when you rotate your device from portrait to landscape, the design changes with you, to accommodate the new aspect ratio.
Now for the good part. If you ever need any help with your computers, networks, backups, virus scanners, or medical billing and accounting you really should call Rick and Donna. They truly are the best at what they do!
Here’s a quick example. Before we knew Donna & Rick, we had someone upgrade our network. We were down for a day and it took all night — literally. Vickie didn’t sleep a wink. I finally went to bed in frustration. But Vickie is our network administrator, so she stayed up to see it through. Since then, Rick has upgraded our network twice and each time we weren’t even down long enough for me to go take a pee. Oh, and did I mention, everything just worked — instantly. No problems. No data lost. Just faster … lots faster!
