Got to hear some great music and see some old friends. We went up Friday night and after getting settled in with the trailer at KOA, went to The Miner Inn for a pre-concert jam. Lonnie Shields, Stacy Brooks and David Coppa were there jammin' along with hosts Mike Hammar and the Nails. It was good to see my old friend <a href="http://www.myspace.com/allanb3bluescarroll">Allan "B3Blues" Carroll</a> again. Alan played with Lonnie Shields and Mike Hammar and The Nails. Deja Blues bass player and founder of <a href="http://www.cvblues.org/">The Central Valley Blues Society</a>, Don Heflin played at the jam Friday and backing Ron Thompson for a smokin' set Saturday afternoon.<br />Although the weather was rainy, it broke for the festival on Saturday, and everybody there seem not to mind the wet. There were even some dancers for Elvin Bishop's show down front who were ankle deep in mud and havin' a great time! A highlight for me, was seeing <a href="http://www.myspace.com/acmylesband">A.C. Myles</a> at the beer garden stage. A.C. always puts on a great show and is a rockin' guitar player. See the lineup in the photo above. I hope everyone continues to support these events and local musicians to keep our local music alive.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2738392591817114331-3029838101818306691?l=barebonesstudio.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11694125446036591320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738392591817114331.post-80739187704282281262009-04-30T13:37:00.000-07:002009-05-06T10:28:44.753-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UiFyoCBW6-c/SfoOZEBe37I/AAAAAAAAAbs/ieTvqni95VQ/s1600-h/trailer.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UiFyoCBW6-c/SfoOZEBe37I/AAAAAAAAAbs/ieTvqni95VQ/s200/trailer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330588932685881266" border="0" /></a><br />Hey, how ya all doing?
