Sunday Night Blues Cruise

I dont know what this is or who put it here. but ill tell you later anyway. unsmall announcement coming soon. expect surprises

sometimes catch phrases and slang become cliche and their overuse annoys me. so i've prepared a list of acceptable substitutions which i encourage everyone to use henceforth (from now on)...
still with me? great...
in place of "Level Up" i'd like to suggest that instead
we 'elevate' or 'make lofty' or refer to someone whos really kicking ass in their field, as their 'loftiness.' (ex: did you hear Mark got a promotion and a fat raise? it seems the voodoo doll he bought from the crone beneath the bridge has really exacerbated his loftiness.)

still with me?

'game changer' is the other one for today's sermon because it convinces idiots to spend money, where they might not need. so instead how about, 'transmogrify 'or 'refashion' might work just as well.
(ex. 'thanks for the thesaurus, grandma. saving money on software subscriptions to try and sound smart makes this a real transmogrifier. and the best birthday ever or 'sass me again, grandson and i'll refashion your face like i did your daddy's)

STILL With me?

i'm Matt Kemp, & i use more unique words than 99% of other Grammerly users, and no one knows what the f**k i'm talking about.
So if you wanna get lofty, Grammerly is a real transmogrifier. and if someone would do that, i'd appreciate it. it's lonely at the top.
now we'll pass the plate....

happy friday. go forth and spread the words.

Support the arts & make a purchase directly from the artist! please and thank you! seriously, i'm hungry.

(Jesse Ed's bday is on wednesday.) https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0?cid=b2tsYWhvbWFibHVlc3NvY2lldHlAZ21haWwuY29t i recommend adding it to your own google calendar in the app or on a browser.

well, its been a couple weeks so i might as well break the bad news to anyone who hasn't heard already....
The Blues Cruise is no more, and i am no longer an employee of Tyler Media. i didnt do anything wrong, but the Bosses want the whole station to be more "streamlined." (in other words, run by robots and automation) and so my little corner of the airwaves has been paved over by imminent domain. Cheer up though, Cruisers... it was a damn good run, and a hell of a lot of fun. And because i still care about the music scene in OKC (and sometimes Tulsa too) I'll continue to maintain the live music calendar. if you need me, i'll be over at Mojo's Blues Club (1 E California, Bricktown) Gently weeping with my guitar. Many thanks to everyone who tuned in and turned on... it was a damn good run!

I have been doing the blues cruise for so long, i can barely remember a time that i wasnt doing the show, really since around 2001, after paying my dues on the overnight shift.  The Blues Cruise brings you music you wont hear on any other station, terrestrial or satellite.  Blues Cruise listeners...

Joe Bonamassa just might be the best guitar player alive right now... and he's playing in OKC at the Peake TONIGHT. the (un)Official JoeB after party is at Mojo's Blues Club, with live music by Taco Tuesday! it's unsanctioned and totally not official but it has the Matt Kemp Stamp of Approval. get out of the sticks, and into the bricks!

10/15/2019

If you’re a fan of Joe Bonamassa… You really, really should listen to the blues cruise on Sunday. I’ve got something very cool in the works that might interest you.
