Blues Festival Wrap Up!


Here I am with Fruteland Jackson at the Regina Mid Winter Blues Festival - March 2005.

Well folks, I'm back! The festivals in Regina and Saskatoon were simply amazing and I had a great time! The audiences were terrific and getting to play with Tim Williams was an honour I can't even begin to describe. I also had the pleasure of hearing and meeting Mr. Fruteland Jackson. (www.fruteland.com)

Mr Jackson is an amazing performer and a blues historian. He practically pioneered the Blues in the Schools program. Plus, he has a ukulele at home and wants to play the blues on ukulele. Now you know I can help him out there. It turns out we both are interested in the old school blues. The obscure stuff by Bo Carter, Sam Theard, Barbeque Bob and Blind Willie McTell. Oh there are tons of them old recordings.

Hey maybe one day Fruteland and I will record a ukulele/guitar blues duet.
