May you always be blessed for the compassion that you have for this great effort to support these musicians! There has to be a front row reserved seat for you guys in "Blues Heaven"--but please take your time getting there....

Hi heres a thought,join rs@radiosubmit.com its free for radio stations the catch is that you have to report the spins back to them so the artist get credit on the charts for the spins. You simply down load the mp3 and put it in your rotation. Yiuy…

Thanks Paul, I believe we are set to go for the new show. We'll start recording after the first of the year. However, I'lll try to give the WCSX show a listen-maybe it can help me with my commercial show that I do....
Paul Allerding replied to Jerry D's discussion 'I'm Looking for a Blues Show for our Local NPR Station...'
There is a killer blues show in the Detroit area, but on commercial radio (WCSX 93.7 FM). It's called the Motor City Blues Project and it is a fantastic program. Runs several hours. I don't know that you could get any of it on to NPR…
ANOTHER FEST GOES DOWN (FOR NOW?)
We at the MMMWBS have just announced we will not host a 2010 Quincy Area Blues Fest. go to quincyblues.com

2009 Quincy Area Blues Fest!
WOW! The Weather couldn't have been better, and all the Acts were great! It was a pleasure working with all the great musicians this year! And my "gut feeling" about having ALBERT CASTIGLIA as our Saturday night Headliner was "Dead On"! ALBERT IS A STAR! And a class Act! He and the band just shredded it-wow-great performances by all!!
I've recieved lots of great comments about this choice of a headliner. They had everyone off their feet, and eating out of their hands-all up on the front of the stage! What a great night-thanks to all who helped make this event happen! And the surprise of the weekend (but not to me) was BARBARA CARR! The crowd was already into things with Pike Stations Performance-but when Barbara came up and joined them-she put them into a frenzy! Pure Quincy Magic! But let me not forget to thank ALL of our performers this year-you all were fantastic, and the crowds were appreciative of every acts performance! (Go to www.quincblues.com to see the complete 09' Lineup).
Looks like we'll get the bills paid (Halleluah!) , and this, (the best little Fest that nobody knows about) lives on for yeat another year!

A Challenge To Blues DJ's out there...
Hello fellow Blues lovers and DJ's out there...here's a challenge for you (and hopefully a new angle and approach) to try to get more exposure for "The Blues" out there on the airwaves. This idea was helped along by the cooperation of a Station Manager who appreciated the blues. (I am a "hobby" blues dj--with a passion for the Blues-doing this part-time, with 2 local blues shows) I'm also a Blues Society Board Member, though our Society is currently not paid up as Blues Foundation… Continue

The party begins at 9PM with a special 30-minute acoustic mini-set that features Dupont paying tribute to his heroes as well as performing his own originals, in an intimate solo setting. There will also be a drawing to win copies of Dupont's 2 brand-new live CDs, "Acoustifed/Electrified", and "The Real Guitar Hero". Every advance reserved ticket includes a coupon for $5 off any CD purchase. One lucky drawing winner will receive copies of the 2 CDs. At 10PM Chainsaw takes the stage with the Blues Warriors, for an "Electrified" set.
Dupont recently released the two live CDs, which neatly summarize his "Blues Street Trilogy", a series of 3 CDs released over a 4-year period, celebrating the blues styles of Chicago, New Orleans, and Memphis.

- Every day we are jumping from one task to another – looking at the watch as a guide. No wonder heart attack is one of the main causes to death. We forget to pause, to look around and to enjoy friendship and family. The world is beautiful – you only have to allow yourself to see it - to experience it. Look at the watch, painted by Jette – given the title “Time is relative”.

Take care my friend, make time and have a great weekend.
