From Ron
I've been told that the blues scene is dying in the area. I'm not so
sure of that. About 2 weeks ago, I was at the Logan Inn on Wednesday
night listening to Steve & Richard. On Thursday night I saw John
Hammond at the Havana and then went to McStew's to see Johnny
DeFrancesco. On Friday night I saw Joe Zook & Tony Buford perform
at the Record Collector in Bordentown. That Saturday night, the Mojo
Gypsies played at Ellarslie Mansion in Cadwalder Park.
Over the next couple of weeks, Rory Block, Hubert Sumlin and B.B.
King will be performing at the Patriot's Theater, Roxy Perry will
perform at Joseph's in Langhorne and Gina Sicilia will have her CD
release party at Havana's and at The Triumph Brewery in Princeton. As
you can see, there's alot of blues being performed by nationally
known acts and by our own local performers.
The
TrentonBlues CD update:
I have received some songs from the last local performer so the lineup
is complete. The final songs will be selected over the next week or so.
Once the songs are selected, the licensing agreement will be sent
out. Click HERE
to see a list of songs and performers. Click on the song title to hear
a sample. As I promised, the CD will be distributed to those who have
already paid the $20 subscription. I should be able to order some more,
so if you want one, please sign up as a paid subscriber as soon as
possible.
As always, if you have any suggestions or comments,
please let me know.
