     I have to be completely honest, I actually got a little excited when I heard that W.S.P were going to start light duty in 2017. It's not that I wish evil on W.S.P 's fans, it's just I love Herring and think of him more than a hired gun. His announcement today is exactly the reason, celerbrated guitarist Jimmy Herring announced that he has formed a new band. Jimmy Herring & The Invisible Whip. It's not clear if its a separate project than his duel tour with John McLaughlin. However this could be the band he will use. The members include longtime A.R.U. and Jazz is Dead bandmate Jeff Sipe on drums, Kevin Scott on bass, familiar keyboardist Matt Slocum and Jason Crosby rounds out this talented band. Stay tuned for some Grateful Music.

  The Los Muertos Con Queso concert event being held in Riviera Maya, Mexico began yesterday with the Chris Robinson's Brotherhood , while Bobby and Billy debuted their new band to rave reviews. Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir and drummer Bill Kreutzmann were joined by W.S.P bassist Dave Schools, JRAD and American Babies guitarist Tom Hamilton and Jeff Chimenti in his usual chair behind the ivory. Beside Grateful Dead staples they played a awe-inspiring tribute to Butch Trucks last night when The Allman Brothers Band’s “Mountain Song” evolved out of Drums into Rev Gary Davis’ staple “Death Don't have No Mercy”. They ended the first night with a fitting double encore of “Liberty” and U.S. Blues. The festivities continue today with two sets of The String Cheese Incident and another performance by the Bobby and Billy band.
