The August 1010 Living Blues magazine has the 17th annual LB Awards. I notice that several of the people that I voted for on my ballet were winners including Bob Stroger for Most Outstanding Musician (Bass) and Joe Louis Walker for Most Outstanding Musician (Guitar). The Elven Bishop album "Red Dog Speaks" didn't quite make it however...oh well, good albums did win anyway.

Oops...that should be "The August 2010" not "The August 1010". Darned fingers are still bent outta shape trying to stretch across 5 frets.

I had the pleasure of seeing Bob Stroger once long ago in Houston. He was with someone else I think. Maybe Hubert Sumlin or maybe Milton Hopkins?? At any rate - I remember because there just weren't that many straight ahead old blues players who also sang. He hit just exactly the right number of notes and not one more.

We have a severe shortage of blues aficionados here in my little neck of the woods (east Tennessee). You'd think that with Memphis (blues & soul), Nashville (country & rock) and Bristol (bluegrass, roots of country) we'd be a bit more diverse than we are. Thank goodness for Pandora and Netflix (smile)
