Bobert @ Double Door (Charlotte) Sunday

Okay, ya' gotta start somewhere so I got an invite to compete in the Charlotte Blues Society's "Blues Challenge"... I go on at 2:45... If I come in first then I can represent the CBS at the IBC (International Blues Challenge) in Memphis next February... Not too sure if I want to do that as I've been to it and it's expensive and cold...

First things first...

Anyone in the area, come on down... The Double Door is the closest thing to a real juke joint as you'll find in NC...

I hope it goes well, Bobert, and if you don't want to win, you don't.

Like Brucie says. I'd love to be there but, apart from the great distance, I've got newspapers to deliver. Have a great time, Bobert

I highly doubt that. IF so, it won't be because they brought a bigger heart.

Hey, sorry we can't make it. We were in Memphis last Feb for the Folk Alliance, and the weather was 60's, if you go check out Alcenia's. http://alcenias.com/ just down the street from the Marriott.

Great food, great art (I mean the whole restaurant is a piece of art),
and Alcenia gave gave us a kiss on the check when we sat down.

It's a soul food restaurant with love all over it.

cheers,
chance

Oh, geeze... Break a string is always my greatest fear... Ya' see, unlike other folks, I love the sound of old strings... They are less bright and with lotta slide guitar that's not good... I like 'um old... The older the better... The strings on one of the 2 geetars I'll be usin' tomorrow are over a year old...

Still haven't hammered out the exact set... I'll work on it tonight...

But it's like telling a thespian to break a leg! I don't really want it to happen!

Hey Bobert, does the P-vine know?

Bobert, is the Double Door the same place as Double Door Inn
1218 Charlottetowne Ave, Charlotte, NC 28204?

No promises, but I may feel a wild hair growing from my post-menopausal chin.
