I stopped by the Turning Point Cafe to watch Rick and the Night Cats. Always great!

I just noticed this on Annie Raines’ facebook page. Natchel Blues page. More information about the venue at: www.tncc.edu

Hampton Acoustic Blues Revival “A Tribute to John Cephas”

Date: Saturday, April 10, 2010
Time: 1:30pm – 9:50pm
Location: Mary Christian Auditorium, Thomas Nelson Community College
City/Town: Hampton, VA

Phil Wiggins gave me my first lessons in harp. Phil’s partner in blues was John Cephas, probably one of the most interesting guitar players in the blues. John died last year and some of his friends are going to have a tribute concert for him.

The single best week of my life was at Blues Week in Elkins, West Virginia, listening to Phil and John play and even sitting in with them in the jam sessions. I was deeply saddened by John’s death and I wish I could get down to Hampton, Virginia to celebrate his music.

Cambodian Harp Player Bonny B just did an album with Bob Margolin of Muddy Waters Band fame. Bonny is a strong player and performs a a wide variety of styles and modes on the harp.

This video should shake you out of your old patterns. Check out Bonny’s other stuff on YouTube.
