They performed at the recent Pittsburgh Blues Festival, but I didn’t get to see them there, so this would be my chance to check them out. Featuring Tim Ambrass on bass, Brent McConnell on drums, Lonnie Holbdy on guitar and bass, Patrick Tevis on vocals and keys, and Ray Sherman on guitar; Mahajibee tastefully mixed various flavors into their blues mix, from the blues rock of their original song “Little Man” to the slower blues of their version of Guitar Slim’s “The Things I Used to Do,” to the funkier stylings of “Funkified Blues” and all things in between. It was all smoothly done and confidently executed, as Mahajibee locked into a steady groove and never let up for the duration. While many fair-goers walked by, a growing number of people procured seats on the nearby park benches to watch Mahajibee do their thing. It was good-sounding blues, and Mahajibee was clearly a band I would like to see again sometime.

Ribfest adds Pittsburgh blues band
[+ Show ]
For the first time in its 11-year history, a local rib festival will bring in musicians from outside...For the first time in its 11-year history, a local rib festival will bring in musicians from outside Ohio.
The lineup of festivities for the 2009 Pickerington Jazz & Blues Ribfest, to take place Aug. 1 on Columbus Street in Olde Pickerington Village, will include a performance by Mahajibee Blues from Pittsburgh.
According to Keely Weaver, who has chaired the event since 2006, the decision was a natural progression for the festival.
"When we added the blues in 2005, it ended up being a big hit and our attendance started increasing," Weaver said. "Since then, we've gotten a lot of requests from bands outside of Ohio who want to play."
The five members of Mahajibee Blues have played together for nine years and have performed at some of the largest blues festivals in the nation. Last year, the band appeared at the 23rd Arkansas Blues & Heritage Festival -- better known as "The King Biscuit Blues Festival' -- in Helena, Ark., which calls itself as the third-largest blues festival in the U.S.
The one-day Pickerington Jazz & Blues Ribfest is free and has drawn more than 12,000 people annually to the city in recent years.
This year's event will feature its first "celebrity judge," Angela An, from WBNS 10TV News. An and a panel of judges will decide which vendor will take home the title of "First Place Best Ribs."
As in past years, a "People's Choice Best Ribs" award also will be decided by festival attendees.
"We will have roughly six rib vendors competing this year," Weaver said. "Angela enjoys ribs and she's great about coming out to all the communities."
Also new this year will be youth-oriented music presented on the festival's two stages. Christian Bath and Ohio's Youth Entertainers Stage Show will perform jazz at approximately 11 a.m., and Pickerington-based Rock Factory Music will showcase three of its youth bands.
In addition to the first-time events and performers, this year's Jazz & Blues Ribfest again will feature crowd favorite, The Willie Phoenix band, as well as the beer garden and kids' inflatables.
"There will be other vendors if people don't like ribs," Weaver said. "If people love blues and jazz music and ribs, then they'll love this festival."

Blues event sells out!

The band has been around for at least the last seven years, but this was their first year at the Marietta competition. With a good chemistry between all the members and a playful laid back attitude, the band seemed to be having a good time.
“It's definitely a blast anytime you can get together with this many bands," said the band’s keyboardist and harmonica player, Pat Tevis.
Brent McConnell, the drummer, said the band kind of developed out of some simple jam sessions and grew from there.
"It's started on a whim,” he said. “We just decided to pound some beers and play and then somebody got the crazy idea to take it out on the road once, so we've been going ever since."
Lonny Holbdy, one of the guitarists in the band, said the blues, especially their particular sound, is hard to define but he was confident people would enjoy it. He said blues in general, though, is the source for a lot of different types of music people hear today.
"To me it's just close to the root of music," he said.
Mahajibee Blues was one of 18 bands from Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and other surrounding states that showed up to perform their best to a panel of judges and an excited crowd Saturday. The event, which has grown in popularity over the years, was sold out by 1:30 p.m., too.
Angie McCutcheon, of Waterford comes every year and has always bought a ticket at the door. This year, she couldn’t get in, so she listened to the music from the lobby.
"I like the talent, having multiple people from different regions come in and play,” she said. “You get lots of opportunity to see different versions of what people believe the blues is."
Peggy Bolen, treasurer of the Marietta Blues, Jazz and Folk Music Society, said last year sold out as well. So this year, the organization actually toned down their promotions, to avoid having too many people be disappointed that they couldn’t get in.
Although space is limited for both bands and audience members, Bolen has been pleased with the growth and success of the event.
"We really like 18 bands, that's a full day right there," Bolen said.
Bolen said she believes eventually the event will grow into a two-day affair.
John Gifford, director of the blues competition, said competition to come up with the 18 bands this year was stiff.
"We went through 27 applicants and had to eliminate nine of them, which was kind of a hard ordeal because they were all good," Gifford said.
Gifford said there was a great deal of diversity among the bands, though, making the event a good time for all blues lovers. Charlene Vaughn, a blues lover from Charleston, W.Va. was a judge for this year’s competition. Her job was to judge each band on originality, blues content, talent and stage presence.
"I'm pretty much judging on what I like,” she said. “I'm really learning the blues. I like Mississippi."
The event went from noon to midnight Saturday with a special appearance by the Blues Brothers Review, a new addition to the entertainment lineup this year. The band did not compete, but put on a performance reminiscent of the original Blues Brothers.

They consist of Tim Ambrass on bass, Lonny Holdby on guitar and bass, Chazz Kramer on guitar and vocals, Brent McConnell on drums, and Pat Tevis on harp, keys, and vocals.
There are two statements on their website, (a great website to check out), that summarize this band pretty good. First, they describe themselves as playing, “not your mama’s blues.” Brent then explains, “It started on a whim, we just decided to pound some beers and play. Then somebody got the crazy idea to take it on the road …that’s Mahajibee.” They are serious musicians who have fun at what they are doing! It shows not only in their CD but at their live shows, also.
They have been around since 2000 and have released two live CD’s at the Hard Rock and Rosebud and more recently a sampler. I think it was wise to test the waters as they did. They were able to draw from all three. Their patience paid off for this CD. This is their first studio release and their preliminary work really paid off!!
The CD starts off with a political statement, “Who’s Standin’ Up for the Little Man?” This is a great start with top-notch lyrics and guitar work. The rhythm section not only shines here but throughout the CD. (Wouldn’t it be nice if somebody in Washington would actually pay attention?) Nine of the twelve songs are original. They stay in the Blues throughout…. even on “Funkified Blues,” where Lonny takes a turn on the bass. It is funky but still true to the twelve bar Blues form. This is the part of their live show where all the ladies get up on the dance floor and strut their stuff. Lonny shines!!! “Blue Guitar” is just sensational. It is a beautiful, slow ballad. This is the song at their live shows that “us” guys grab our ladies and head to the dance floor. The guitar solo on “Find your Way Home” is searingly beautiful, the kind of thing that keeps this guitar fan coming back for more.
Mahajibee is a tight band and this CD shows that. See them live, too. You will not be disappointed. Blues lovers…the front and back covers of their CD depict a big chunk of blues history in Mississippi.

Local Band Strikes Chord with Nationally Recognized Festival
[+ Show ]
Helena, Arkansas, September 5, 2008: The Arkansas Blues & Heritage Festival, recognized as one of t...Helena, Arkansas, September 5, 2008: The Arkansas Blues & Heritage Festival, recognized as one of the largest free blues festivals in North America announced the artists selected to participate in the festival’s 2008 Emerging Artist Contest. This year over 200 artists, bands and performers applied to participate in the contest. A local favorite, Mahajibee Blues was selected by the Festival to take the stage and show the fans their version of blues.
The Arkansas Blues & Heritage Festival is recognized for its efforts to preserve the traditions of the Delta Blues. Launched in 1986 as the King Biscuit Blues Festival, it attracts over 100,000 blues fans to the banks of the Mississippi River. The festival takes place in Historic Helena, Arkansas home to blues legends Robert Johnson, Sonny Boy Williamson, and at one time Muddy Waters.
“The festival was started to preserve the traditions of the Delta blues. The organizers have realized the best way to preserve these traditions is to ensure that they are passed on to a new generation of blues artists. Artists are selected to participate in the contest by meeting several requirements like original music, blues traditions, and the festival organizers hope that while these new artists sit around backstage with blues legends they will learn first hand the history of the music”
The Emerging Artist Contest has created excitement in the music world as Blues Revue, and Beale Street Caravan a nationally syndicated radio program, joined as the national media sponsors. “We are proud to have these two music media outlets as partners. It demonstrates that preserving the blues, and building new artists is important to the world of music,”
Mahajibee will travel to Helena to perform at the festival October 10, 2008 and compete for the title of 2008 Arkansas Blues & Heritage Festival Emerging Artist. Although the recognition of being selected to perform at the festival should provide national recognition for the band they hope this time that having the blues will be a good thing.

Great traditions in everything: Sports, foods, arts and music. Some great music is coming out of Pittsburgh. Being a lover of the Steelers I am still in disgust with the Rooneys for not having the likes of Billy Price sing the National Anthem on Championship Sundays. By the results, even God was upset.
On July 21, 2007 I had the honor of seeing and listening to the Mahajibee Blues Band at the Endless Mountain Blues Festival in Elmhurst, Pa. If you haven't seen and heard them yet -- treat yourself.
I am sure you'll be glad you did and I hope that they will come back next year to the endless mountains.

Magic Slim works his magic at Moondog's

A very obvious fan standing next to me Saturday night told me (when she wasn't busy bouncing to the blues) to be sure and welcome magic-fingered Magic Slim to Pittsburgh, since it was the legendary Chicago bluesman's first visit here.
Consider that done. For a pleasant change from recent shows, Moondog's was packed with appreciative fans, and Slim showed his own appreciation with a rousing lesson in real-deal Chicago blues.
He begged, he pleaded, he shouted the blues -- his magic fingers bending blues strings into tough notes that stab at the heartstrings.
Just playing the blues.Slim isn't one of those guys who's trying to take the blues somewhere it's never been. He takes you where it was when it was the best there was. Still is.
He takes the essence of this classic music and smacks you upside the head with it. And the only possible answer is "thank you, sir, please do that again."
He dug deep into the Chicago and the Magic Slim songbook, with irresistible blues like "Goin' to Mississippi," "I'm a Bluesman," "It Hurts Me Too," "Get Your Business Straight," "Key to the Highway" and many more in his two-hour plus journey back home to Chicago right here on the main street of Blawnox.
Slim is every bit as imposing as his reputation suggests. He bumped his big black cowboy hat on the ceiling as he took the stage, but he had all the room he needed to stretch out with the blues. He's got a deep, rich voice and the big fingers fly over the strings, but there's not a wasted note.
Slim (Morris Holt, if you must know), wasn't exactly without help on the stage. The band, as nearly as I could tell, included Lenny Media on drums, Danny O'Connor on bass, and the quite excellent in his own right Jon McDonald on guitar and vocals when Slim took a break.
They backed him with tight, crackling work, just what a Chicago combo should be.
Magic Slim toasting the blues with his fansSlim warmed up as the night went on, and eventually seemed like he would never stop -- at one point raising a double Slim-sized shot in a tribute and toast to his fans. Blues fans being what they are, they responded in kind.
There was plenty of joy in the music, lots of dancing (on the "multimillion dollar Moondog dance floor," as McDonald called it).
Even though it's not very big, Moondog's is a grungily great blues bar. It's not hard to get close to the band, the music is never far away, and the elbow-to-elbow crowd is a great place to share the communal nature of the blues. (Of course, elbow-to-elbow may not exactly be anatomically correct, but this is still a blog in a family newspaper's Web site).
After the show, some fans gathered to pay tribute in the back room, where Slim's table was surrounded by fans and lined with empty shot glasses. It was that kind of a blues night.
All in all, it was dark and bluesy night -- the best kind -- and it filled the all-too-cynical BlueNotes heart with that deep blue feeling that, at least for a while, takes you to a much better place.
The opening band was Pittsburgh's Mahajibee, a quintet playing rough and tough sweaty blues of their own. A very nice opener for Slim. -

The band was invited to perform as part of the fest's emerging artist program.
Pat Tevis, Mahajibee keyboard player and vocalist, has put together a journal of the band's journey, with a few photos, and he offers it for our reading pleasure. Congratulations guys, it sounds like a great adventure.
The drive from Pittsburgh to the Delta was a more than enjoyable trip, especially knowing that we were actually going to Helena, Arkansas to play “The Biscuit!” Our final destination in Mississippi was Hopson’s Plantation (http://www.hopsonplantation.com/) just outside of Clarksdale and it proved to be worth all of the time and miles it took to get us there! Climbing out of the van I wondered if the blues I was hearing was in my ears or in my head. From that point on up until the time we left there was blues music everywhere. We entered The Hopson Commissary and listened to The Marshall Drew Blues Band, a local group (of twenty–something’s) from Clarksdale who sounded fantastic!
The Commissary is a large room full of history, antiques, and pictures, an acoustic lounge...a very cool place to relax and listen to music. Feeling the “van lag” from the trip I decided to turn it in while some of the boys went to “Red’s Lounge” (http://www.jukejointfestival.com/venues.php). I guess I ignored the saying I heard quite a few times from the locals, “You can sleep when you die.”
I paid the price by not going to “Red’s” because as it turns out, “The Oil Man” - Big Jack Johnson (http://www.myspace.com/bigjackjohnsonblues) was playing there that night; Deak Harp sat in and lit it up blowing a mean harp (http://www.myspace.com/deakharp). Jon, Lonny, and my brother Mike said that, “Going to Red’s juke and seeing Big Jack Johnson was the real deal, blues in its pure state!”
Waking up Saturday morning at The Shack Up Inn there was still a buzz about how cool it was to go to Red’s Juke Joint, but I was in a hurry to get to the balcony. The first thing I noticed was the Cadillac Shack with the bottle tree in front of it. That is the front cover of our CD and it was the first time I laid my eyes on it. Someone suggested we get a beverage in a blue bottle, pass it around until it is gone, and then put it on one of the unoccupied tree limbs. Another band member who happened to be more awake reminded him we had a show in Helena to do. In retrospect I think we should’ve done it. Off to the right of our balcony was a view of a beautiful cotton field and the cotton was in full bloom, matured and opened, as far as you could see. Just an unbelievable sight!
Most of the guys were hungry for breakfast so we headed into town, Clarksdale, MS. It was literally like riding in a tour bus as things like the highway 61/49 signs were pointed out as well as the painted silhouettes of airplanes on the highway reminding you that a crop duster uses this road to LAND!
Once in town our heads were on a swivel as my Brother Mike, the authority on Clarksdale to us, was pointing out The Cross Roads sign, The Riverside Hotel where many great blues man stayed (Rat sez that Muddy walked out of the hotel and onto a train to Chicago), Red’s Juke joint, Ground Zero and the Delta Museum and things we couldn’t look quick enough to see. We parked in front of The Delta Amusement Lounge and sitting on the bench in front was none other than Mississippi Delta blues man Mr. Tater. http://www.myspace.com/mrtaterthegreatestmusicmakeralive
He seemed more than happy to meet us and take a picture. He assured us that he would be in Helena later on in the day.
Our breakfast was the biggest greasiest southern style breakfast you could order. The waitress was getting a kick out our accents and informed us that “Big Daddy” makes his own jam but don’t tell him otherwise she’ll have to deal with his ego all day. Once we were fueled up we walked over to The Ground Zero Blues Club (http://www.groundzerobluesclub.com/). A few people were cleaning up and informed us that they weren’t open yet but permitted us to walk around and check the place out. If I owned a club I would design it after Ground Zero. From Ground Zero, straight across Blues Alley is The Delta Blues Museum (http://www.deltabluesmuseum.org/) our next stop. You can spend a day in the museum but our time was limited. There’s an amazing collection of artifacts, instruments, recordings, sheet music, posters, photographs, costumes, folk art and paintings. The Muddy Waters exhibit is really impressive and it includes the cabin that he once lived in!
We headed back to Hopson’s to get ready for the festival. Some of us walked around Hopson while we took turns getting ready to go to Helena. On the ride to Helena I could sense the excitement about playing in ABHF. You could see the smoke and smell the BBQ before we reached the Festival. After parking behind the Emerging Artist Stage we agreed to meet 30 min before we go on. Walking around Cherry Street checking the booths, street buskers and seeing The Delta Cultural Center (http://www.deltaculturalcenter.com/exhibitions/blues.asp), the second stage and the main stage we knew that this was going to be a lot of fun. We ran into Dusty Blues for the first time and he told us that the first two days had been great. The blues were everywhere!
The sun was shinning on the Emerging Artist Stage when the first band finished their set. It was hot but the humidity wasn’t like the humidity at so many of the other festivals we played this past summer. We got all set up; they announced our name and the party began. The soundman did a tremendous job mixing the first band and I remember thinking, “If he has us tweaked like that, then this will be a blast! Jon Paul and Lonny had a great stage sound, ear to ear grins and were ripping it.
I’ve known bassist Jack Rhyner for years and there was no surprise that he and Junior sounded big and rock-solid. My brother Mike gave me the thumbs up that the soundman had us balanced and there was no looking back. I could see people in line for food turning around to check us out. Once they got their food they walked down toward the stage and stayed. The set was cookin’ and we turning heads. Some people danced and others sang along. They really liked our version of Johnny Shine’s “Evening Sun” when we bring it down low and ask them to shout it out! “Where were you?” We split the groups into four sections, left, center, right and those inside the “Port O’ Johns”. They loved it. We followed that with our originals “Blue Guitar” and “Lover boy blues” and both songs were very well received. From the opening riff of “Little Man” to the last note of “Funkified Blues” we were living a dream. The set ran smoothly and the crowd was receptive to our feel for the blues. The sweat rolling down our faces felt good.
Several people wanted to talk while we were breaking down and many of them met us at the van to talk and/or buy a CD. New fans from Mobile, Alabama, Little Rock & Helena, Ark., New Orleans, Texas all stopped by to chat. It was cool to meet people from the South who liked our music, encouraged us, and told us who to contact in their hometown to play there. When all was said and done it was time to get some BBQ!
Walking down the alley between the Emerging Artist Stage and the second stage we ran into Dusty Scott. We walked down Cherry Street toward the second stage and talked until we ran into Herbert Sumlin and Willie “Big Eyes” Smith. We talked for a while with the Legends of the Blues and took some pictures. We continued to walk and stop to listen to the Street buskers, there’s no getting around it. Every one of them is good, some amazing stuff right out on the street. The crowd continued to get thicker by the minute it seemed.
There was always a crowd at the second stage and the Main Stage, well there’s just nothing like it. We were able to catch performances by Rick Estrin & the Nightcats, Janiva Magness, Bob Margolin, Anson Funderburgh & the Rockets (Who used to play this festival for FREE when it first got started), Hubert Sumlin & Willie “Big Eyes” Smith Band, and the unbelievable Bobby Rush. Meeting and talking to many of the artists and Bubba Sullivan (“Blues Corner”) was out of sight. Just an incredible day for a bunch of guys from Pittsburgh, PA!
On Sunday morning Junior, Jack, Lonny and Jon had to climb back into the van to start their long trek home. It was sad to see them go and I could tell that they wished they didn’t have to. It was breakfast at The Delta Blues Museum for Mike and me and once inside we sat to talk with “Puddin.” Before long he had his dice and cards out doing tricks with both and you almost forget that you’re there to eat. Puddin is a regular in Clarksdale and is full of stories and tricks proving that the hand is quicker than the eye.
We walked up the street to Cat Head where Robert “Wolfman” Belfour (http://www.deltaboogie.com/deltamusicians/belfour/index.htm) was playing to a crowd in front of the store. Red was busy cooking BBQ while it was next to impossible to keep track of Rodger. He was extremely busy. After strolling thru Cat Head (http://www.cathead.biz/) checking out all the interesting folk art and CD’s we decided to visit the Hambone Art Gallery (http://www.hamboneart.com/gallery.html) to talk to owner Stan Street. Stan’s posters are incredible and used by many blues fests around the world. The Hambone Art Gallery is very cool.
We couldn’t miss taking a drive to Po’ Monkey’s lounge which is 30 miles down highway 61 from Clarksdale in Merigold. I had to visit this juke joint and see it with my own eyes. Mike was down there over the summer and gave them our CD and they enjoyed it so much that they put it on the Juke Box. Pulling onto a dirt road off of 66 south and driving about a half mile down the road on the left side stands Po’ Monkey’s lounge. It’s a shack surrounded by a huge cotton field.
The first thing that struck me was that it looks like a stiff wind would scatter all this wood in the cotton field. The next thing I noticed was all the signs that display the rules of the club. Most of them contained the same messages like No dope, no guns, no loud music........ I wished it was open because the place definitely has character. While we were there, at least 2 car loads of people pulled up to view and take pictures of the joint. One of the visitors was from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and was in Po’ Monkey’s numerous times and he absolutely loves it. He said he bartends at “Teddy’s Juke Joint” in Baton Rouge and blue artists like Kenny Neal or Larry Gardner (one of my personal favorites) just walks in on any given night. He also shared the story of how “Po’ Monkey’s” got its name but you’ll have to run into him, Mike or me to get it. Sorry.
Back at Hopson’s Pinetop Perkins Homecoming Jam was going on. We enjoyed Bob Margolin’s set and we spent time listening to Cedric Burnside & Lightnin Malcolm trade sets with Eric Deaton in the Chapel playing Mississippi Hill Country blues. The Commissary is cool but we really enjoyed the Chapel. The seats are rows of old church pews and there’s plenty of room to dance. The stage is high enough to see the band from any vantage point, front, back and soon from above.
The decor (Christmas lights, cotton, signs and ambiance are the perfect setting to listen, dance, and enjoy the blues. The gift shop is close by and you can still hear the music from there. Once outside we started noticing more familiar faces like Willie (Big Eyes) Smith and his son (Beady Eyes), Bill “the Forkman” Clopein, (http://www.forkman.net/), Dusty Blues (http://www.dustyblues.com/index.html) and of course, Mr. Pinetop Perkins.
I was anxious to talk to Pinetop because I met him before in Philadelphia in the early 90’s. I reminded him that at that time he was wearing his Captain’s hat. He laughed and reminded me that today is Sunday. Pinetop looked sharp as a tack in a green suit, white shirt with piano keys on his tie. He mentioned that he never performs on Sunday but then confessed that one time he jammed A TUNE but that was it! He stated that he was glad that everybody seemed so happy and it’s that way wherever he goes. I concluded our conversation by thanking him for his time and for being such a classy guy and role model for all of us whether he’s behind the piano or not.
It was short stay with a lifetime of memories and a vow to get back there again someday. We were sadden by the fact that our long-time bassist “Big Tim” Ambrass couldn’t make the trip with the band and lucky that our good friend bassist, Jack Rhyner (King’s Ransom) was able to go in Tim’s place. We owe many thanks to Jack for going with us especially on such short notice. Playing the ABHF was incredible for all of us and an unforeseen opportunity. Lots of our heroes played there, and some, lucky to say, were there this time. As you looked around, Pinetop Perkins, Willie Smith, Hubert Sumlin, Bobby Rush . . . you have to ask yourself, “how much more can they give?” Getting to meet Bubba, the festival coordinator, was a treat. What cool, down to earth guy. We need more Bubbas!!! It was cool to see Dusty Blues and talk to him as he continuously bounced between three stages. He even made it a point to snap quite a few shots of us and we appreciate it immensely.
Hopson Plantation was really interesting and almost allowed us to step back in time and see where so much our music and country’s history took place. If you are down that way say hello to our buddy Bill Talbot, one of “The Shackmiesters” who runs the Shack Up Inn and if you are smart you will stay there. What an awesome place full of history.
At the end of our stay we had time to reflect. It is not too far of a stretch to understand where the music comes from after seeing the land, the remote area and the vast cotton fields. One can only imagine all the suffering and pain of working this land by hand in the heat, having overseers on horseback watching you and the feeling of helplessness of the life there. The people there are doing a great job preserving the history of the South and the history of the Blues and live with a zest, and always enjoy a song.
Landmarks such as Blues Alley, the Delta Blues Museum, Morgan Freeman’s juke joint club Ground Zero, Red’s, The Cross Roads, Civil War battlefields, Cat Head, Po’ Monkey’s lounge, and that’s just what we saw. People told us that you just have to experience it for yourself and they are right. We’re happy to have the opportunity to go to the Delta and see as much as possible in so little time but it was truly an honor for this little band from Pittsburgh, Pa to play the blues at the “Biscuit”, The Arkansas Blues & Heritage Festival, 2008.
We’ll never forget it.
A great story, Pat. Thanks for sharing.

-- Mahajibee Blues
The drive from Pittsburgh to the Delta was a more than enjoyable trip, especially knowing that we were actually going to Helena, Arkansas to play “The Biscuit!” Our final destination in Mississippi was Hopson’s Plantation(http://www.hopsonplantation.com/) just outside of Clarksdale. It proved to be worth all of the time and miles it took to get us there! Climbing out of the van, I wondered if the blues that I was hearing was in my ears or in my head. From that point until we left, there was blues music everywhere. We entered The Hopson Commissary and listened to The Marshall Drew Blues Band, a local group (of twenty–something’s) from Clarksdale who sounded fantastic! The Commissary is a large room full of history, antiques, and pictures. It was an acoustic lounge...a very cool place to relax and listen to music. Feeling the “van lag” from the trip, I decided to turn it in while some of the boys went to “Red’s Lounge” (http://www.jukejointfestival.com/venues.php). I guess I ignored the saying that I had heard quite a few times from the locals, “You can sleep when you die.”
I paid the price by not going to “Red’s” because as it turns out, “The Oil Man” - Big Jack Johnson (http://www.myspace.com/bigjackjohnsonblues) was playing there that night. Deak Harp sat in and lit it up blowing a mean harp (http://www.myspace.com/bigjackjohnsonblues). Jon, Lonny, and my brother Mike said that, “Going to Red’s juke and seeing Big Jack Johnson was the real deal, blues in its pure state!”
When I woke up on Saturday morning at The Shack Up Inn, there was still a buzz about how cool it was to go to Red’s Juke Joint. I was in a hurry to get to the balcony. The first thing I noticed was the Cadillac Shack with the bottle tree in front of it. That is the front cover of our CD and it was the first time I laid my eyes on it. Someone suggested that we get a beverage in a blue bottle, pass it around until it is gone and then put it on one of the unoccupied tree limbs. Another band member who happened to be more awake reminded him that we had a show in Helena to do. In retrospect, I think we should’ve done it. Off to the right of our balcony was a view of a beautiful cotton field and the cotton was in full bloom, matured and opened, as far as you could see. Just an unbelievable site!
Most of the guys were hungry for breakfast so we headed into town, Clarksdale, MS. It was literally like riding in a tour bus. Things like the Highway 61/49 signs were pointed out as well as the painted silhouettes of airplanes on the highway reminding you that a crop duster uses this road to LAND! Once in town our heads were on a swivel as my Brother Mike, the authority on Clarksdale to us, was pointing out The Cross Roads sign, The Riverside Hotel where many a great blues man stayed (Rat sez that Muddy walked out of the hotel and onto a train to Chicago), Red’s Juke Joint, Ground Zero and the Delta Museum. We couldn’t look quick enough to see everything. We parked in front of The Delta Amusement Lounge. Sitting on the bench in front was none other than Mississippi Delta blues man, Mr. Tater. http://www.myspace.com/mrtaterthegreatestmusicmakeralive
He seemed more than happy to meet us and take a picture.
He assured us that he would be in Helena later that day.
Our breakfast was the biggest, greasiest southern style breakfast you could order. The waitress was getting a kick out our accents. She informed us that “Big Daddy” makes his own jam…but don’t tell him otherwise she would have to deal with his ego all day. Once we were fueled up, we walked over to The Ground Zero Blues Club (http://www.groundzerobluesclub.com/). A few people were cleaning up. They informed us that they weren’t open yet but permitted us to walk around and check the place out. If I owned a club, I would design it after Ground Zero. From Ground Zero, straight across Blues Alley is The Delta Blues Museum which was (http://www.deltabluesmuseum.org/) our next stop. You can spend a day in the museum but our time was limited. There’s an amazing collection of artifacts, instruments, recordings, sheet music, posters, photographs, costumes, folk art and paintings. The Muddy Waters exhibit is really impressive and it includes the cabin that he once lived in!
We headed back to Hopson’s to get ready for the festival. Some of us walked around Hopson while we took turns getting ready to go to Helena. On the ride to Helena I could sense the excitement about playing in ABHF. You could see the smoke and smell the BBQ before we reached the Festival. After parking behind the Emerging Artist Stage, we agreed to meet 30 minutes before we were to go on. Walking around Cherry Street, checking the booths, street buskers, seeing The Delta Cultural Center (http://www.deltaculturalcenter.com/exhibitions/blues.asp), the second stage and the main stage, we knew that this was going to be a lot of fun. We ran into Dusty Blues for the first time and he told us that the first two days had been great. The blues were everywhere!
The sun was shinning on the Emerging Artist Stage when the first band finished their set. It was hot but the humidity wasn’t like the humidity at so many of the other festivals we played this past summer. We got all set up; they announced our name and the party began. The soundman did a tremendous job mixing the first band. I remember thinking, “If he has us tweaked like that, then this will be a blast!” Jon Paul and Lonny had a great stage sound, ear-to-ear grins and were ripping it. I’ve known bassist, Jack Rhyner, for years and there was no surprise that he and Junior sounded big and rock-solid. My brother, Mike, gave me the thumbs up that the soundman had us balanced and there was no looking back. I could see people in line for food turning around to check us out. Once they got their food they walked down toward the stage and stayed. The set was cookin’ and we were turning heads. Some people danced and others sang along. They really liked our version of Johnny Shine’s “Evening Sun” when we bring it down low and ask them to shout it out! “Where were you?” We split the groups into four sections, left, center, right and those inside the “Port O’ Johns”. They loved it. We followed that with our originals, “Blue Guitar” and “Lover Boy Blues,” Both songs were very well received. From the opening riff of “Little Man” to the last note of “Funkified Blues” we were living a dream. The set ran smoothly and the crowd was receptive to our feel for the blues. The sweat rolling down our faces felt good. Several people wanted to talk while we were breaking down and many of them met us at the van to talk and/or buy a CD. New fans from Mobile, Alabama, Little Rock & Helena, Ark., New Orleans and Texas l stopped by to chat. It was cool to meet people from the South who liked our music, encouraged us and told us who to contact in their hometown to play there. When all was said and done, it was time to get some BBQ!

From the Steel Town to the Cotton Fields (II)
Walking down the alley between the Emerging Artist Stage and the second stage we ran into Dusty Scott. We walked down Cherry Street toward the second stage and talked until we ran into Herbert Sumlin and Willie “Big Eyes” Smith. We talked for a while with the Legends of the Blues and took some pictures. We continued to walk and stopped to listen to the street buskers. There’s no getting around it. Every one of them was good. Some amazing stuff was played right there on the street. It seemed that the crowd continued to get thicker by the minute. There was always a crowd at the second stage and the Main Stage. There’s just nothing like it. We were able to catch performances by Rick Estrin & the Nightcats, Janiva Magness, Bob Margolin, Anson Funderburgh & the Rockets (Who used to play this festival for FREE when it first got started), Hubert Sumlin & Willie “Big Eyes” Smith Band, and the unbelievable Bobby Rush. Meeting and talking to many of the artists and Bubba Sullivan (“Blues Corner”) was out of sight. It was just an incredible day for a bunch of guys from Pittsburgh, PA!
On Sunday morning Junior, Jack, Lonny and Jon had to climb back into the van to start their long trek home. It was sad to see them go. I could tell that they wished that they didn’t have to. It was breakfast at The Delta Blues Museum for Mike and me. Once inside we sat to talk with “Puddin.” Before long he had his dice and cards out doing tricks with both. You almost forgot that you’re there to eat. Puddin is a regular in Clarksdale and is full of stories and tricks proving that the hand is quicker than the eye.
We walked up the street to Cat Head where Robert “Wolfman” Belfour (http://www.deltaboogie.com/deltamusicians/belfour/index.htm) was playing to a crowd in front of the store. Red was busy cooking BBQ while it was next to impossible to keep track of Rodger. He was extremely busy. After strolling thru Cat Head (http://www.cathead.biz/) checking out all the interesting folk art and CD’s, we decided to visit the Hambone Art Gallery (http://www.hamboneart.com/gallery.html) to talk to owner Stan Street. Stan’s posters are incredible and used by many blues fests around the world. The Hambone Art Gallery is very cool.
We couldn’t miss taking a drive to Po’ Monkey’s lounge which is 30 miles down Highway 61 from Clarksdale in Merigold. I had to visit this juke joint and see it with my own eyes. Mike was down there over the summer and gave them our CD. They enjoyed it so much that they put it on the Juke Box. Pulling onto a dirt road off of 66 south and driving about a half mile down the road on the left side stands Po’ Monkey’s lounge. It’s a shack surrounded by a huge cotton field. The first thing that struck me was that it looks like a stiff wind would scatter all this wood into the cotton field. The next thing that I noticed was all the signs that display the rules of the club. Most of them contained the same messages: like No dope, no guns, no loud music...I wished it were open because the place definitely has character. While we were there, at least 2 carloads of people pulled up to view and take pictures of the joint. One of the visitors was from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and was in Po’ Monkey’s numerous times and he absolutely loves it. He said he bartends at “Teddy’s Juke Joint” in Baton Rouge and blue artists like Kenny Neal or Larry Gardner (one of my personal favorites) just walks in on any given night. He also shared the story of how “Po’ Monkey’s” got its name but you’ll have to run into him, Mike or me to get it. Sorry.
Back at Hopson’s, Pinetop Perkins Homecoming Jam was going on. We enjoyed Bob Margolin’s set. We spent time listening to Cedric Burnside & Lightnin Malcolm trade sets with Eric Deaton in the Chapel playing Mississippi Hill Country blues. The Commissary is cool but we really enjoyed the Chapel. The seats are rows of old church pews and there’s plenty of room to dance. The stage is high enough to see the band from any vantage point: front, back and soon from above. The decor (Christmas lights, cotton, signs and ambiance) are the perfect setting to listen, dance, and enjoy the blues. The gift shop is close by and you can still hear the music from there. Once outside we started noticing more familiar faces like Willie (Big Eyes) Smith and his son (Beady Eyes), Bill “the Forkman” Clopein, (http://www.forkman.net/), Dusty Blues (http://www.dustyblues.com/index.html) and of course, Mr. Pinetop Perkins. I was anxious to talk to Pinetop because I met him before in Philadelphia in the early 90’s. I reminded him that at that time he was wearing his Captain’s hat. He laughed and reminded me that today is Sunday. Pinetop looked sharp as a tack in a green suit, white shirt with piano keys on his tie. He mentioned that he never performs on Sunday but then confessed that one time he jammed A TUNE but that was it! He stated that he was glad that everybody seemed so happy and it’s that way wherever he goes. I concluded our conversation by thanking him for his time and for being such a classy guy and role model for all of us whether he’s behind the piano or not.
It was short stay with a lifetime of memories and a vow to get back there again someday. We were sadden by the fact that our long-time bassist, “Big Tim” Ambrass, couldn’t make the trip with the band and lucky that our good friend bassist, Jack Rhyner, (King’s Ransom) was able to go in Tim’s place.

| The Grange Fair began 136 years ago when Leonard Rhone urged his Progress Grange to join their sister subordinate Granges in having a pic-nik to which they would invite their neighbors and introduce the Grange Organization and the benefits of membership in such a faternity. Since then, it's grown into a real family tradition with some campers going back generation after generation. Tent sites are passed down to family members as prized possessions. Even the size of the Fair has grown to include 950 tents, 1300 RV's, hundreds of concessions, over 7,000 exhibit items, amusement rides, livestock, tractor pulling and much more! Come to Centre Hall, PA and find out why so many folks wrap up every summer at Grange Park with the Centre County Grange Encampment and Fair.

| Aug 12, 2011 Friday | 6:00 PM | The Heritage Music Blues Festival 2011 | Wheeling, WV, US | |
| The Heritage Music Blues Festival began in 2001 when Bruce Wheeler envisioned a Blues music festival in a newly constructed water front park on the bank of the Ohio River in downtown Wheeling. The fact that Wheeling had no blues scene or even a blues club, band or solo artist did not deter Wheeler from developing a festival. Promoted as A Weekend of Award-Winning Blues, the Festival today gets raves from coast to coast. Wheeler's festival features two stages, a Main Stage with Blues Music Award Winners and up and coming IBC solo duo and band winning acts, and a Second Stage dedicated to local and regional artists, from WV, OH, PA, and MD.
