When I say Jam Time, it probably isn’t the type of jam you are thinking. Or, maybe it is! As you all know Chris, Janet and Bella are way down south in the Sunshine State and having a grand time. This past Thursday, Chris met up with Connie Burton King. You may have heard the […]

Chris, as most of you know, is a storyteller. A musical storyteller, if you will. All his songs are just that: stories. One of his most requested songs is “The Ballad of John Ashley.” Another is “Queen of the Everglades.” And, both are based on real people and a real, true story. Chris is still […]

Sadly, I do not have much for this week. I am in NC and dependent on receiving videos and photos. So, again, my apologies but here’s what I do have: The dates have not changed: every Friday afternoon from 1 pm to 5 pm. I realize most of us work and not able to be […]

The Bella Bus has landed in Florida. First gig has been fulfilled. And, the airboat has hit the waterway. In fact, Chris said today that were out near where John Ashley supposedly had his still. I asked him if he finds it, to work up some good ole Jack. We’ll see!! LOL! So, in honor […]

If you have ever taken music classes, what’s the one thing you hear over and over and over? Practice, Practice, Practice? Am I right? Actually, that’s true with anything new we attempt to learn. But, it’s especially true for a professional musician/singer. “What,” you say, “why do THEY need to practice?” Well, if you promise […]

Yes, indeed, Mr. Bellamy had a live gig today for Quarter Moon Books, Gifts & Wine Bar at Topsail Beach. And, with the first or second sunny day in forever, it was a great day for an outdoor venue! Check it out: The crowd could have been larger in number, but perhaps not in spirit! […]

During one of this week’s Chris Bellamy Live on Facebook Podcasts, a request was made for some beach music. Beach music happens to be one of my favorite genres. So, I was all over that request. Chris didn’t know that I had found his Live Down in the Keys album with “Under the Boardwalk” on […]

Wonder and magic are things that are, tragically, in short supply right now. The fact that we each wake up in the morning and have the gift of another day on God’s green earth is, truly, wonderful and magic. That’s how we should each live every day, don’t you think? Always look for all the […]

But sometimes, it ain’t easy. Okay, that second line was mine. LOL!! In these times we are living in, it seems the reasons to worry have multiplied exponentially. Still, we all have lives to lead and, we all, I am sure, want to lead productive and happy lives, right? For some reason, I now have […]

Hello Friends! It is so nice to be back with you all. And, we are going to start today of with a very, special treat. This is one of Chris’s songs that was written a while back, but will be on The Waterman Album. It is called “The Story of Digger Doug.” It is based […]
