Hot dog! People, you know, a gentleman asked me last night what I was doing. I said, 'Well, sir, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, I don't do anything'. He says, 'Well, what do you do on Thursday, Friday and Saturday?' I says, 'Why, I rest'. He says, 'You do anything on Sunday?' 'Oh, yes sir, that's my busiest day'. He says, 'What are you doing on Sunday?' I says, 'Getting ready to do nothing on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday'. Ha-hah! - Uncle Dave Macon, Wouldn't Give Me Sugar in My Coffee
Hello Folks, Just wanted to give you a heads up on a blues get together that is gathering a lot of steam on all Blues forums. The Boozenblues get together is a forum based initiative where members of these forums will have a chance to attend and or perform in one of the best of Delta blues settings, Club Ebony. This is a 4 day tribute to Mary Shepard and Club Ebony. Mary has been quite ill as of late and I felt it was time to pay hommage to a true Blues Patriot. Check out the site at www.boozenblues.com and let me know. There is still a lot of room for performers. The sooner you let me know the better.
Peace and Blues, Andre Laberge

Just wanted to give you all an update. I am getting a lot of requests from performers outside of this forum to be on the bill. As mentioned in an earlier post other than being principaly a tribute to Mary Shepard this is meant as a get together of forum folks performers as well as attendees. Before I continue putting on the bill performers from outside these forums I would like to give the chance to folks on this forum. It would be a shame not to have a large contingent of accoustic country blues, piedmont style, electric and so on from this forum. Some members have shown a keen interest but I want to make sure that everyone gets a chance before everything is booked up! Let me know by e-mail of your interest. The website has been updated and we even have a myspace page graciously put together with the help of a forum alumnus. For those of you undecided, remember this is for a great cause. It's going to be a howl!!! Thank you for those of you helping out. This thing is really taking off and I can feel the enthusiasm building.
