June 9th, 2008 Kath Posted in Work Life Balance, Internet Marketing | No Comments »

Kokomo BandOne of the best breaks from business is listening to New Zealand’s best blues band, Kokomo, at any New Zealand music festival or while driving or fixin’ dinner for those of us lucky enough to have their CDs.  Crowds love Kokomo!

Kokomo lovers delight. Their latest CD, In the Well, is available now. It’s a double treat! Bob Dylan songs played in mature Kokomo style. Readers know I’m a die hard Dylan fan who feels like a Kokomo groupie.
