Louisville Bluegrass genre is blossoming, and a new band on scene is 'Maiden Radio.' It's an all girl band, and you can feel the femininity through their musical selections and performances. It was amazing to see three women on banjo, something I've only dreamed of until then. They origanlly performed as Maiden Kentucky, but refined their name.
Maiden Radio is: Cheyenne Mize-fiddle, vox, ; Julia Purcell-guitar, vox ; Joanie Musslemam-banjo, vox
and they performed "Shout Little Lou Lou"

Wednesday night at Kentucky Bar•B•Cue Company at 1800 Frankfort Av is a great time to grab some fried green tomatoes or Shrimp and Grits (photo) or even some Sweet Potato Fries (photo). The fries are seasoned with cinnamon and sugar and make a great dessert to share.
The grits were exceptional, and were full of garlic goodness. On Wednesday nights there's a jam session going strong at 9 pm (photo and audio).Audio recorded from my iPhone on Wennesday November 11, 2009 and muscians include:

Performing 'Down on the Ohio' written by Stever Ridner
For the past couple years my son and I have been jumping in the freezing waters of the Ohio River for Louisville Special Olympics. We are part of the Brown Bear team, organized around his school, Brown.
The first year I jumped in the water temp was around 38°, and I think my heart stopped beating for a few seconds. There is nothing like a father and son going through a near death experience together to bring them closer, even if it is voluntary. My youngest son is in the blue long sleeve shirt. This year it wasn't too bad, the water temperature was above the air temperature, so it made for a nice jump. I'm pretty sure we had the youngest average jumper age, we had 13 kids in the 7-9 year old range, and 2 or 3 adult jumpers.Lakeside and the Quarry
