Subject: RE: Where the heck is our blues people
This seems like a good place to mention this.

I have been sitting here listening to an awesome collection of blues on the public teevee this evening. I hadn't planned to, it just showed up on the tube as I was netsurfing.

It's pretty much live jamming from start to finish, with the best of the best. They just casually announce who won what as the music is playing or during a small break. Then I realize it's an AWARDS show that is actually entertaining. Amazing.

Apparently it was the 2009 30th Blues Music Awards which was held in Memphis, and they have a DVD, I'm not sure if it's the same amazing edited down cut, but for those in the market I believe you would not be disappointed:
