About Me |
|
| I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts! As I have stated...I am a lover of just about all genres of music...and I have great appreciation and much respect for the talented artists that share "THIS SPACE" with me...but please understand that my heart is dedicated to the promotion and preservation of BLUES MUSIC. As Willie Dixon said, "BLUES IS THE ROOTS...EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE FRUITS" I hope all of you young and upcoming musicians understand the exact meaning of this statement and will take it to heart. I also hope that you do not mistake my love for music as an open invitation to use my page as a billboard for the advertisement of your wares, latest CD release or club/tour itinerary...unless of course what you are promoting contributes in some way to the blues and my efforts to sustain them. I ask that you PLEASE RESPECT MY EFFORTS AND THE PURPOSE OF MY PAGE. I am just an old woman working my ass off to keep the blues alive...I FEEL BLUE...DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO...EVERY WOMAN IN MY FIX IS BOUND TO FEEL BLUE TOO ~Bessie Smith~ |

My Interests |
|
| I am a lover of all music and am especially dedicated to the preservation and promotion of blues music as a cultural art form. I am actively involved in the Southern California blues community and am now hittin' the streets of Memphis.I am a booking and event coordinator who produces/coordinates festivals, shows and fundraising events at various venues throughout California. I also enjoy reading and creative writing in my personal time and recently began publishing a modest quarterly blues newsletter for the SCBS membership./div | |

Music:I love and listen to the Blues most of the time..naturally. Female vocalists are my favorites. Anyone and everyone from Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Big Maybelle, Big Mama Thorton, Chicago's Finest Blues Women, Koko Taylor, and Etta James, right up to the new and up coming like little Jessie Payo and my good friend Sherry Pruitt...to name afew...there are just so many great female vocalists that I love and hold dear to my heart...I hope you all know who you are!! I have an appreciation for all kinds of music but especially like music that is truly blues rooted...my music collection literally consists of thousands of lps and cds of various types of music from blues, big band, jazz, motown, old school, funk, and reggae...by the way does anyone own a turntable?PROPS TO THE LADIES OF THE BLUES
