Da Blues In Roanoke Virginia

Great article in the Roanoke Times, about the growth of blues in Roanoke Virginia. Two blues fests, and two restaurants that play the blues, makes me hungry for some BBQ, or some down home Soul Food. I really haven't had any good soul food since leaving KC. One of the schools that I worked at called Pershing Elementary (long gone now) had a cook, who knew how to cook. When I left Pershing I would actually travel during lunch, from Troost Elementary, to Pershing just to eat lunch:-) To read more about Roanoke and the blues Click HERE.

New York Times Has The Blues!

The New York Times has a nice article about the blues and the popularity of blues fests in the United States, and Canada. It is nice that the Times, is reporting something other than the blues are dying! Hopefully we have turned a corner, and the blues will make its long awaited comeback! For the article Click HERE.
