Subject: RE: Bobert Wins Charlotte Blues Challenge... From: Bobert Date: 09 Oct 11 - 09:24 PM Well, one thing I can say is that people don't play that North Mississippi groove around these parts so it's different enough... Best part about it is that this is going to open some doors to play some local festivals next year... One guy from the blues society told me he'd make a couple calls and get me in the lineups... That alone, is all I was hoping for... But now that I have won it maybe I oughtta take a shot at the IBC??? I donno... B~ |

Subject: RE: Bobert Wins Charlotte Blues Challenge... From: freda underhill Date: 09 Oct 11 - 09:36 PM Glad to hear it Bobert! This is almost enough to motivate me to come to Memphis in Feb, my ex, Don Hopkins won the Sydney Blues Challenge and will be competing there too, and I've been thinking about scraping together the money to get there. I'd love to hear you perform, so if the universe is good to me, I may be there to cheer you both on! freda |

Subject: RE: Bobert Wins Charlotte Blues Challenge... From: Desert Dancer Date: 10 Oct 11 - 01:59 AM Must be a winning day for Mudcatters -- I myself won the intermediate level singing competition today at the Old Time Fiddler's Convention in Goleta, Calif. I don't know how many others there were in that category, though... Congratulations, Bobert! Hope you go to Memphis and show 'em how its done. ~ Becky in Long Beach |

Subject: RE: Bobert Wins Charlotte Blues Challenge... From: JohnInKansas Date: 10 Oct 11 - 07:34 AM Was it having a $#@%! Shaped Thing that did it fer ya? Good job - no matter what inspired you. John |
|
Subject: RE: Bobert Wins Charlotte Blues Challenge... From: GUEST Date: 10 Oct 11 - 08:52 AM Sorry, Dani, but (pun intended) you a few trips to Bojangles shy of the BIG league... Well, I reckon reality has sunk in and that means I can't just sit on my couch night after night just mindlessly jammin'... I gotta actually PRACTICE SONGS...Out side of every silver lining is a dark cloud... B:~( |

Subject: RE: Bobert Wins Charlotte Blues Challenge... From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 10 Oct 11 - 12:51 PM Gee, Bobert, you said earlier you hoped not to win, as you weren't looking forward to a trip to Memphis. Now you've won, so it's hard to know what to say. Well, the important thing is that you did a good job and you wowed 'em. Congratulations on that. You know, when someone has a happy and successful life, we say that they were born under a shining star. Sometimes I think you must have been born under a patchwork star, Bobert, because your life is so complicated. Know what I mean? |

Subject: RE: Bobert Wins Charlotte Blues Challenge... From: Ron Davies Date: 10 Oct 11 - 01:17 PM Fantastic. Congratulations. Sounds like they recognize quality. You sure were missed at the Getaway but maybe it was for a good cause. Though we hope you're starting to make plans now to be there next year. Don't know if we can stand 2 years without you. After all, the Getaway this year has even been branded as "low key". That's your fault (not trying to guilt-trip nobody or nuthin' like that--not much anyway.) |
|
Subject: RE: Bobert Wins Charlotte Blues Challenge... From: Genie Date: 10 Oct 11 - 01:24 PM Well, it was "low key" except when Rose and Abby & co-conspirators got going on bawdy songs in the Peace Cabin, maybe. |

Subject: RE: Bobert Wins Charlotte Blues Challenge... From: Bobert Date: 10 Oct 11 - 02:01 PM I feel bad for the guy who came in 2nd... He earns his living as a musician and is younger and I'm sure this would have helped his career... I don't necessarily want a career... I just like playing music and want to do a festival here and there... That's gonna happen as a result of this win... Memphis??? I donno??? I mean, part of me says, "Hey, you ain't gonna get any more chances" and the other part says, "Who cares??? What if you did win the IBC??? You want to go on the road???"... The answer to the second question is "Hell no!!!" No matter... It's done now... B~ |

Subject: RE: Bobert Wins Charlotte Blues Challenge... From: frogprince Date: 10 Oct 11 - 02:18 PM Hey, go for it and win the IBC; is you don't want to increase your performance load that much, you can become a mysterious, reclusive blues legent. : ) |

Subject: RE: Bobert Wins Charlotte Blues Challenge... From: Bob Landry Date: 10 Oct 11 - 03:41 PM Congratulations, Bobert. |

Subject: RE: Bobert Wins Charlotte Blues Challenge... From: ClaireBear Date: 10 Oct 11 - 04:34 PM Fantastic, brother Beau-Bear! Not that I had any doubts. Now, go practice, so you can do us Bears proud! |
|
Subject: RE: Bobert Wins Charlotte Blues Challenge... From: Bobert Date: 10 Oct 11 - 05:11 PM I hate practice... I hate practice... I hate practice... What the hell have I done to myself now??? B;~( |
|
Subject: RE: Bobert Wins Charlotte Blues Challenge... From: ChanteyLass Date: 10 Oct 11 - 11:37 PM Of course you won! I told you to break a string. I hope you didn't really break a string. Anyway, congratulations Bobert and Desert Dancer! |
