Long Tall Marcia Ball. Excellent musician indeed, even greater voice. I've been a fan of hers for nigh on twenty years now. Would you believe that once, a long, long time ago, she actually released a country/folky sounding album before giving in the her passion, the blues? If you like her music, Mike, there are a lot of artists other artists that you need to check out. You ever listen to John Hammond or Ruthie Foster? How about that new guitar slinger extraordinaire from the Austin blues scene, Jake Andrews?

Joel,

Don't think that is one I will be attending. Suppose to be
somehwere in Houston, however, the last I heard they, the
organizers were having difficulties securing teams. Maybe it
is like Mike said, time to rest. Your youngest still doing the
soccer thing? You doing NFHS this season?

I've seen and talked to John Hammond at the Tin Angel in Philly. A friend of mine opened for him. I've heard of Ruthie Foster, but not Jake Andrews.

Problem with the blues is that there are so many artists out there that have their own niche in the business and many are satisfied to stick with the home cooking and don't travel that much.

This is true that a lot of folks don't travel much. But...that is the great thing about the world wide web...you can at least sample some of the music of these fine artists even if you are never able to hear them.
