I long ago swore off corporate terrestrial radio. It was an action I took well before the “blues overtook me”, but it was a conscious decision that I do not regret. For you see, between “Al Gore’s internet” and a close circle of musical friends and mentors I still manage to get “hipped” to various artists that either corporate radio can’t either sell or has yet to figure out how to water down and make them sound like every other artist on the air.

Over the last few months thanks for Cousin Mark, Jim Polecat, and Beardo of Bandana Blues I have managed to get my hands on;

Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears - Tell ‘em What Your Name is

Barrence Whitfield - Raw!, Raw!, Rough!

Various Artists - 2008 Deep Blues Festival Soundtrack

And they are just too good not to share. So between my work with The Boston Blues Society and writings and ramblings on The Boston Blues, Brews & BBQ Blog reviews will be posted.

I’m back. My apologies for the delay in posting any new content, unfortunately life tends to get in the way from time to time. Plus being strapped down to a lap top while it is HHH outside just aint my speed. I should be able to knock out some material today as The Georgetown Grille has both beer and free Wifi! Take that Starbucks!

Pardon me while I start by rolling out The Shameless Self Promotion Machine.

Georgetown Fats & The Growlers will be playing JP McBrides tomorrow night, August 22nd, 2009. We’re on at 9:30 PM and will be jamming away until they yell for last call.

Also we seem to be getting some initial interest with a booking at Uncle Eddie’s. Do stay tuned.

As always, SUPPORT LOCAL MUSIC!

I will be posting on my night of judging Guitar Center’s King of the Blues Guitarists competition last night. Do stay tuned. Also, having just picked up a copy of Barrence Whitfield’s latest, a review with the Boston Blues Society is pending.

More later.
