Yaz, come and hear the best kept secret out of North Carolina. Hear a young man, who's only been playing for four years, play the real thing at the Windy City Grill, Como, Mississippi on 05.24.03. You will go home and burn all the guitars you have been fooling with for the last thirty years. Pinetop Perkins calls him "the Little Bluesman", he's played alongside Robert Balfour, R.L. Burnside, T-Model Ford and they all say he's the real deal. I said that the first time I heard him in Memphis last year but of course nobody believes nothin I say ;~)

Better get there early az they tell me it'll only hold 150 folks and the whole town of Como ends up in there when Daniel comes to town.

By the way, if Como sounds familiar, it's the homebase for legends like the late Othar Turner and Fred MacDowell. Hope to hear some fife and drum music out there also, but I understand Mr.Othar's family is doing a gig in New York City that weekend. I believe this will be a memorable event if I don't get into any corn likker.

On Saturday, May 24, Daniel "Slick" Ballinger will be playing in Como, Mississippi.

A good review of the 18 year old blues whiz can be found HERE, and you can hear him HERE at TWEED'S Site. Or, just put his name in GOOGLE for a lot more information!

The boy is good!

Adding to the event will be the presence of some of our Mudcat Members. At this point, Tweed is planning to make the long arduous journey from Dimwit, Florida. Bobert is coming from West Virginia. I plan to be there. pattyClink has been invited but I have not heard from her yet.
All in all, it promises to be an evening of fine blues with Slick and pleasure in the meeting of fellow Catters!

Come on down, enjoy the magic moments! All are invited! We would love to meet other Mudcatters there!

Any other Catters who would like to join in the revelry, or, any who have questions, give Tweed a PM!
