...How could he leave out Ray Davies at the Aladdin? Oh, sigh, because it costs $50?! But if you can afford it, it's worth every penny....and I know a great chick you could take...
On a more serious note and as a side bar to the Blues Festival news; apparently Curtis Salgado is again fighting a cancerous tumor in his lung. It won't stop him from playing the Blues Festival, but of course, as an American and a musician, he needs help with his medical expenses. Donations can be made online or at US Bank locations: online @ bit.ly/salgado_fund - at US Banks (ask for the Curtis Salgado fund c/o Odaglas LLC Donation Account - by mail @ US Bancorp, 2550 NW 188th Av, Hillsboro 97124.
My first run of picks for Blues Festival - all the Pete Krebs incarnations, Duffy, Scott Pemberton (what he does to his guitar is amazing and keeps a guitar tech in a lifetime job...), Reggie Houston, BOOKER T., for the love of dog!, Toots and the Maytals, Bettye LaVette, Bobby Rush....so many more...and come say hi Thurs. through Sunday...I'll be working the Music Millennium booth....
Also - some great singer/songwriters coming up - Steve Poltz, July 12 at Mississippi Studios and Alejandro Escovedo at the Doug Fir Aug. 13.
...and now that I am a precinct captain...y'all better be registering to vote!!!..I have the forms....
