Amazing music and ridiculous memories. Thanks for sharing Jeff. Broke & Hungry Records may not make any sense when you visit your accountant, but it damn well makes sense when you crank up the results. Happy almost-5th anniversary! And here's to ano…

Over the course of the evening – and an untold number of beers – an idea began to take root. By the following month the hangover was long gone, but the idea had become a reality: Broke & Hu… Continue

Hi Jeff,
Here is my wish for the very best to you and all of my LiveBluesWorld friends as we take the music of our heritage into 2009 and the 21st century.
It's an honor to be on this journey with you. ..and a pleasure to be your friend. Thank you for allowing me to be a member of the community.

..."true greats" ...are not those born with "golden spoons" in their mouths. ...but those who through "hard work" turn their own "wooden spoons" into "gold".

"...the re-emergence of blues music as serious social commentary."
