Blues Music Awards 2012

The Blues Foundation did one hell of a job last Thursday presenting the Blues Music awards.

Congrats to all involved, including the volunteers who work so dang hard.

Over the three days, I was involved in some great times.

Wednesday evening at Rum Boogie Cafe, The Memphis Blues Society held the Rattlebone Jones All-Star Jam to raise money in conjunction with RAISE THE ROOF! to build the Blues Hall of Fame in Memphis at the home of the Blues Foundation.

We were able to raise over $1,300.00 and all involved should be congratulated.

Vincent Hayes, Dave Keller and Vince Johnson joined the band to lend a hand during the Jam.

Then Davina & the Vagabonds put on a rousing set of music as always.

Finally Nick Moss and his band took the stage to play and afterward Nick ran a jam that lasted until the wee hours.
