With today being Fat Tuesday, I can think of no better day to start a new project. The Boston Blues Blog will be an extension of the work done with the Boston Blues Society, but in an environment which is more conducive to quicker updates.......
The updates will be periodic, and sporadic. As I have the time to update the blog with news, it will be done. Though the initial responsibility will be to promote local music, secondary responsibilities will be to promote national acts (with a priority placed on national acts with Massachusetts roots).
This may or may not eventually be sanctioned by the Boston Blues Society.
This will always be an honest opinion.
It may or may not always be grammatically correct. I may forget to hit spell check.
I am not a professional writer, just someone passionate about good music who isn't shy about offering an opinion. Please think of this as a fledgling attempt to take the Inside Track model over to Boston blues music (sans cattiness).
About Me

- Little of what is thought to be known about Georgetown Fats can be substantiated however; some people have winnowed some of the obvious tall tales and legends away from a more plausible truth. Georgetown Fats was born into a small clamming community, of Portuguese and Scottish descent and of modest means. It was Fat’s Great Grandma who first introduced Fats to music. Great Grandma Fats balanced playing Dudlow Joes at the local silent movies and gut bucket fisherman watering holes at night, with playing church hymns on Sunday. In efforts to stop young Georgetown Fats from gnawing at her piano stool while teething, Fats’ Great Grandma came up with the idea of giving the young Fats his first Ab blues harp. The rest, as they say, is history.
