Come out to beatiful O’Malley’s Irish Pub in the Lemp Neighborhood, for a no cover, 21 and over, show.

Of course, it’s a night of Irish Music, you know. I’ll bring the stomping, pounding, heart-thumping folk-beat jam, you just come out and enjoy the night with your friends.

I’ve also had some quite good recordings come from my O’Malley’s shows, so come and be part of the goodness. I’ll post some of the recordings here and on MySpace.

January Specials, too: $5 CD, new buttons, and more!

Miley Cyrus double covers as Miley alterego Hannah Montana during super-secret, but not so devious switcheroo to speed wardrobe change.

With all the noise on teh internets, this past week, over the fan videos showing the real Miley Cyrus being cloaked by a dancer, then, whisked off-stage via door number 2, as a body double emerges from door number 1, I felt responsible for bringing some clarity and sanity to the situation, or lack thereof.

I have to say that I’m dismayed, annoyed, and, now suffer from great ennui as a result of writers’ pretensions that this is some sort of betrayal of all Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus fans.

I don’t see what the big deal is. A little creative make-believe is part and parcel to this type of show. Sure, on the surface, this is a music show. But that’s not why parents paid $50 to $2000 for tickets that, in the real world, should have cost more like $20-$30. There’s a lot of hype, and a lot of “magic” expected. It IS Disney, is it not?

Besides, many of her fans still go to bed early on Christmas Eve, and listen for the sounds of Santa’s reindeer upon the roof. Telling them that Miley/Hannah employs a double in the last 2 minutes of her Hannah set is like telling them, or their only-somewhat younger siblings, that the Teletubbies and Captain Feathersword are costumed characters.

Forget about Disney, and the make-believe. Shoot! Even I use a double at the end of Johnny Jump Up, to give me enough time to change my shirt and my pick for the next set! This is important to keep continuity during the Jonathan Ramsey/Jonathan Ramsey Show.

For all we know, this started when Ike Turner used a double at the end of every live performance of Rocket 88 (the first Rock and Roll song), so he could change his shirt and get another drink. Maybe.

Anyway, check out this video below, and decide for yourself, if it’s worth the bandwidth on YouTube and Yahoo Video…
