What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published July 2, 2009 at 2:59 p.m.

Some of the musicians who perform at Summerfest kill time during the day by hitting area golf courses, checking out the Milwaukee Art Museum, jogging along the lakefront or sleeping.

Los Lonely Boys went shoe shopping.

The Garza brothers in the popular Tex-Mex rock band, which headlined the Potawatomi Bingo Casino Rock Stage on Wednesday night, have long been fans of Stacy Adams shoes. So, Ringo and JoJo Garza visited the design facility in Glendale and got a tour from John Florsheim, the president and chief operating officer of Weyco Group, which makes Stacy Adams shoes, as well as shoes under the Florsheim and Nunn Bush labels.

"We've been wearing Stacy Adams since we were boys," said JoJo Garza, the band's bass player. "Our uncles and father taught us to always look nice and show pride in what we wore. We've got photos of us when we were five years old wearing the black and white Stacy Adams. We might not have had nice clothes, but we sure had nice shoes."

Los Lonely Boys mention Stacy Adams in the upcoming documentary "Cottonfields & Crossroads" and in the lyrics of their song, "Friday Night":

Well it's Friday night, I'm gonna have some fun tonight
Well it's Friday night, I'm gonna have some fun tonight
I'm gonna do everything, gonna make it outasight

Well I throw on my zoot suit, m' Stacy Adams too
Oh, I throw on my zoot suit, m' Stacy Adams too
I'll be wearing my silver chain, lookin' oh-so-cool
