Well, I have been toyin' with doing a little recordin' this year... I've got a bunch of new stuff that I worked up over the winter and it has been 4 years since I recorded "13 Shades of Blues"...

Problem is that I am also in the midst of building a new band... I've got a new harmonica player and that's about it so far... Not too sure what/who else to get but I'm kinda runnin' outta time...

Ya' see, last year I participated in the Sadalia Blues Festival challenge... The winner gets a sponsorship to the IBC (Intenational Blues Challenge) in Memphis in February... Well, I came in 2nd last year to a bluesplayer from North Carolina who had come in 2nd for the prior 5 years and, well, lotta people came up afterwards and said that we shoulda won... Guess the organizers thought so, too, 'cause I got an invite to compete this July 11th without havin' to go thru the application process...

So I gotta get the rest of the band shaped up by then and they define "band" as three or more members...

Not too sure what to add... My cigar box Lowebow is also a bass instrument so bass is not high on the list unless that bass player can play conga drum when I'm on the Lowebow... Drummer isn't isn't high on the list either seein' as I do play drums with my feet while playing geetar and singing... Maybe a mandolin player???

I donno, but I want ya'll to know that I am on the case...
