Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my readers from around the world. I am wishing you and everyone who loves the blues to have a safe and wonderful holidays. The normal Sunday update will possibly come around Monday. I know I promised videos starting at 5pm tonight, but due to Bloggers weird calender everything got off a day. I corrected it so by the time you read this everything should be posting as scheduled! There are plenty of videos coming up tonight ending around 8am.
Enjoy! Be Safe! and see ya on the New Year!

Happy Holidays From The Sean Costello Memorial Fund

DONOR SPOTLIGHT: STASIA OGDEN
If you haven't donated and wonder
why people do donate to the Fund, just listen to the words of Stasia
Ogden, a huge fan of Sean's and one of the Fund's biggest donors:
Stasia
Ogden first heard Sean at Moe's Alley in Santa Cruz, California in 2003
and has been a fan ever since. When Sean's sang "Feel Like I Ain't Got A
Home" it was as if her feelings had been set to music. "When the
stresses of life and work built up, I used to go to Sean's website and
check his concert schedule. Even if it was 3-4 months away, just
planning travels to see Sean and the band in person would make life seem
easier. I attribute Sean with teaching me that there can be "better
living through music". I hope others see this too."
Stasia is the Associate General Counsel and Chief Intellectual Property Counsel for Baxter Healthcare Corporation in Deerfield, Illinois.

| DONATE TODAY AND HELP US MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Sean's
passing has ignited a burning desire to keep his personal and musical
memory alive and to translate the human side of his suffering into
action that will help in research, education, outreach and treatment
efforts for Bipolar Disorder.
SEAN COSTELLO AT HIS BEST - LIVE
The
16-song compilation compact disc features previously unreleased live
material recorded in the U.S. & Europe from 2000-2007. A portion of
the royalties from the sale of the album will benefit The Sean Costello
Memorial Fund for Bipolar Research.
"It's
never too late for a significant recording to surface, especially for a
blues artist so utterly devoted to the genre. What matters most when it
comes to music isn't necessarily the beginning, the middle or the end.
It's all about those notes and the moments in between."
- Greg Victor, parkbench.com
"Nothing
disappoints here. Some of the sound is admittedly taken from audience
tapes, but that only enhances the gritty flavor that comes through as
Costello is featured playing songs by blues masters from T-Bone Walker
to Lowell Fulson to Magic Sam to Little Richard. He rocks, he swings, he
sears the air with tough, exciting guitar. The album stands as a
righteous ode to Costello's massive but unfulfilled talents."
- Jim White, Community Voices of the Pittsburg Post-Gazette
