- Kate Bramley-Moore talks to us about the workshop Damon Stone taught in Sweden. She wanted to point out Albert King’s “I’ll Play the Blues For You,” which is available on eMusic on the album of the same name. The shorter version is available here.
- More audio feedback, this time from Duane Grover asking that we stem the tide of “Black Rattler” being played at dances across the country; the album is available on Amazon on The Carl Sonny Leyland Trio Meets Nathan James and Ben Hernandez (price = ouch!). He also mentioned how truly awesome the Spankers were at Shout…you guys really did miss out, if you weren’t there.
