I am not a musician.
Sure, you might have seen that picture taken in my parents den during a band practice during high school, but I was not very good and eventually decided to play the "wheels of steel"* as a substitute for my lack of musical skills.

2012 Blues Music Awards
The Blues Foundation did one hell of a job last Thursday presenting the Blues Music awards.
Congrats to all involved including the volunteers who work so dang hard.
Over the three days, I was involved in some great times.
Wednesday evening at Rum Boogie Cafe, The Memphis Blues Society held the Rattlebone Jones All-Star Jam to raise money in conjunction with RAISE THE ROOF! to build the Blues Hall of Fame in Memphis at the home of the Blues Foundation.
We were able to raise over $1,300.00 and all involved should be congratulated.
Vincent hayes, Dave Keller and Vince Johnson joined the band to lend a hand during the Jam.
Then Davina & the Vagabonds put on a rousing set of music as always.
Finally Nick Moss and his band took the stage to play and afterward Nick ran a jam that lasted until the wee hours.
ALL photos should enlarge with a click

Then Friday afternoon I got to see Peter Parcek play some at the Rum Boogie with Greg Gumbel playing bass guitar for him, before heading to the Tap Room for the inaugural Beale Street mess Around, which I had been asked to MC.
JT Lauritsen, Brandon Santini and Victor Wainwright led a solid band that included Jeff jensen and Greg Gumbel on guitars, Leo Goff and Dave "Groove" Parker on bass and Jumpin' James Cummingham and John Grimsby on drums.
There was also some great vocals from Redd Velvet and Shari Puorto.

11/15/10 Robert "Nighthawk" Tooms & Leo Goff Sat On The Couch
This show was done with both guests live in my home and both on together at the same time.
Robert is a desired vocalist, harp player and keyboard player. Leo is a fantastic bass guitarist and vocalist. Between them they have appeared on 100's of recordings and played throughout the world.
They are both story-tellers of the highest quality and spent the evening regaling us with stories of their lives as musicians.
