Coffee and camera in hand, I took a seat on one of the comfy couches at Louisville’s Derby City Espresso one evening last month. I’d come to hear a college friend of mine play, but as it turned out, she wasn’t the only musician playing that night. I had no idea who the other musicians were or what kind of music they played, but I was immediately and completely sucked in by the first guy out of the gate, Sean Jennings.
I will preface this by saying I’m not typically a fan of song remakes where a musician does something drastically different with a song compared to its original artist (Clapton’s bluesy remake of his own “Layla” notwithstanding). I guess I’m a purist like that. Or was.

With this post, we welcome Karen Leist Bassett to the BareFootMusicNews family. Karen is an award-winning photographer hanging out in the center of the US, and since she is drawn to music and musicians, we’re hoping this is just the first of many musical adventures she shares with us. Along with her camera, her most prized possession is her late father’s circa 1967 Framus Atlantic with sunburst finish. And yes, she plays it and we’re not going to give up until we get to post of video of that, so watch this space! Her images will be found in our BareFoot FotoBlog.

In the hierarchy of musicians, bar bands tend to get little respect and even less fortune or glory. But these musical workhorses sometimes turn out to be diamonds in the rough-and-tumble bar scene, and FM Logic fits well in this category. For full disclosure, I was acquainted with the bass player, having crossed paths with him online in a variety of settings over the years, sharing photos and having a circle of friends that overlaps. That acquaintance was enough to raise my curiosity when I saw the announcement that his band was playing a local bar, but it wasn’t enough to give me any particular expectation of the quality of that performance. They were, after all, playing in something of a dive.
