In Tis Issue...
Letter from the PresidentHi Blues Fans,
I am writing my rst letter as the President for
the Bluesletter and have so many things I want to
talk about, but only so much space. First I want to
thank all of you for the kind words and support you
have shown me over the rst month of my term.
I was over whelmed by how many calls, e-mails
and texts that came in with congratulations and
belief in me and the WBS as we move forward. So
Thanks to all of you and I will do my best to live
up to your expectations!
I have many goals that I hope to accomplish over
the next twelve months and a great team working
with me to make what I hope will be great
improvements as the WBS enters its 25th year
as an incorporated non-prot. As many of you
know the website is back up and undergoing even
more improvements with many others planned
throughout this year. One of the rst improvements
we will be working on has to do with membership
and how we manage this database. As large as we
have grown the last few years the task of managing
this volume has become an incredibly taxing job
for our Membership Director Michelle Burge. We
are exploring new software and hardware that
will allow us to assign all existing members and
all new members with membership numbers and
a printed plastic card similar to a credit card. It
will have your name and membership number,
membership renewal date and other data on it so
you can use it to take advantage of some of the
perks that come with WBS membership. The new
software has applications that will allow us to put
renewals and new membership services online so
you will not have to write a check and mail it in
and wait for the mail chain and the delays that that
causes. The cards will be automatically loaded into
a le for printing as they come in and then instead
of making them one at a time as Michelle has had
to do for the last several years the card printer will
do the work for her. Then its just put the cards in
envelopes that are printed as part of the software
application and send them off in the mail to our
membership. The new software automatically
creates renewal notices and sends them via e-mail
and also prepares renewal letters when needed
too. There are several other features tha
software and hardware for membership dat
we will be introducing as the year progres
hope to have this in place and running withi
next six months.
These new cards will allow us to create
more membership perks that add value to
a member of the WBS and hopefully will
even more growth for us. I am working on
of these perks as I write this rst Letter from
President, but more about that next month.
then please keep supporting live music and s
the word to all your friends and neighbors
BLUES is alive and well! Now get out ther
take in a show and Ill see you there!
Thank you again for reading the Blueslette
supporting the Washington Blues Society!

f blues, rock, country, and R&B and offer up a
ariety of danceable music that not only respects
he tradition of the blues, but also pushes its
oundaries with a mix of contemporary sounds.
The stage show is lled with energy and intensity,
nd there is a camaraderie in the band that is
mmediately noticeable to their audience. This

Acoustic Set: Indecent Liberty
Cultured in a damp, dark, moldy basement, two
sound-wave harnessing meat robots came together
to make noise unlike that which had been occupying
the current airwaves. After sitting and fermenting
for a few months following a hard winter, ourduo emerged from the depths of the dungeon and
stepped into the early light, smoke rolling out
into the cool air. Now back in the outside world
after being in seclusion for so long, it looked as if
someone had taken an Indecent Liberty with our
beautiful country. Hey, thats a good band name.
Indecent Liberty consists of two elements;
SweetNLo Christi Michelle powering out the
vocal melodies and Skid Mark Johnston rocking
out on his acoustic bass guitar. Christi has been
singing since she was knee high to a grasshopper.
She has been involved in many different forms
of entertainment throughout her whole life and
has worked with several entertainers in themusic industry as a singer during her career. Her
roots stem from all over the pop, soul, and blues
genres and you will feel it in your skin when
you experience her hair-raising vocals in person.
Mark has played bass and drums in many projects
ranging from punk to funk for over ten years and
picked up an acoustic bass specically for this
duo. His bottom end holds it down while Christi
tears it up. She grew up on hip hop and R&B and
he was raised on metal and punk rock but together
their sound is some kind of Americana-soul-blues.
Indecent Liberty formed in late 2012, right around
the time everyone was freaking out about theend of the world. While everyone was digging
bunkers and storing food, Indecent Liberty was
busy stockpiling music and knowledge. What
most people didnt know was the fact that the
Mayans werent predicting the apocalypse but a
new era of human existence and the emergence
of a revolutionary new musical duo. Mark and
Christi had been playing for over a year in
various projects and had been working on songs
together for about six months and the world was
about to experience Indecent Liberty ready or
Michelle Taylor and the Blues Junkies
Indecent Liberty
not. Since rst coming onto the scene, seemingl
out of nowhere, they have opened for an eclecti
collection of crowds including but not limite
to blues, rockabilly, country, metal, bluegrass
and punk. They t right in just about anywhere
After a performance, people are always lookin
around for socks that had been knocked off a
well as experiencing a sense of euphoria. Ther
is speculation that Indecent Liberty is currently ithe studio working on more material and preparin
to release their rst full length album. With thi
new, unnamed, super top secret album wi
inevitably be the release of their whole new lin
of fancy designer merchandise: t-shirts, buttons
stickers, patches. You can follow Indecent Libert
on the popular social media sites you may hav
heard of known as Facebook or Reverbnation
Maybe one of these days they will get with th
times and make a Twitter or Bandcamp but fo
now they are busy Googling each other. As the
say, Welcome to the Skid and Sweets Show.

y Todd Slobin, Producer and Marc Lempert, Director
irst of all, thank you. Thank you to each and every one of you for your
ontinued dedication, support and most of all patience at our second Seattle
creening in December of 2013.
onceptually speaking, Pocket Full of Soul: The Harmonica Documentary
merely a package, a vessel for a universal tale of humanity, creative
xpression and the unique trine formed between the harmonica, the music
nd those whom make and/or simply enjoy it. At a certain point in the making
f the lm, this triangular relationship, a creative cycle of sorts, became so
much bigger than us and the project. It wasnt for we the lmmakers and
nymore, it was for we the people.
he air, the tones, the music its about a life force its about breathing.
s what makes the harmonica work. These are elements that truly keep us
oing, they turn on the soul. See, its easy to get philosophical about this
razy little instrument. But thats just another aspect of the harmonica that
ome will just never get. But those that do get it well, its impossible
o shake.

The Blues Harp Specialists: Brian Lee, Jeff Nicely,
Dan OBryant, Paul Green, Jim McLaughlin
The Band: Show producer Paul Quilty, Bass
(Unbound), Dave McCabe, Drums (Unbound),
Kevin Sutton,Guitar (Tommy Cook Trio, Hot
Wired Rhythm Band)
This was a simply not to be missed blues harp
extravaganza featuring a stellar line-up that
promised harp lines beyond compare. Carolyn
and I had not been out for a while, and made a
real point of making it to this show. Since we,
unfortunately, missed the ne line-up at Harp
Hysteria held October 12that Salmon Bay Eagles
with Mike Lynch & the Boneyard Preachers
along with Portland harp man Arthur Moore and
Minneapolis transplant Joe T. Cook, the Harp-
Ageddon Showcase was screaming my nameall the louder. So, I am very pleased to report
that Harp-Ageddon was a rousing success on
November 2ndat the Madison Pub in Everett.
The show started promptly seven oclock with the
masterful talents of multiple Washington Blues
Society Best of the Blues Award-winning Brian
Lee and the Orbiters. Their ve song set included
a pair of cover s from the bands new release, In
Orbit: Sonny Boy Williamsons Ninety-Nine
and Billy Boy Arnolds Wish You Would. Brian
also played two original cuts from 2012 Best of
the Blues Award-winningIdentity Theft: the title
track and Fourth and Miles, and he nishedhis set with Rick Estrins tribute to Little Walter,
Marions Mood.
The next harp master to take the stage was, two-
time Washington Blues Society International
Blues Challenge solo/duo representative Jeff
Nicely performing a ve song set. Jeff, along with
Randy Norris, represented the Washington Blues
Society at the International Blues Challenge in
the solo/duo competition. Jeff opened by telling
us all about some ne barbeque and then Kevin
took the vocals on Walking the Dog which they
segued into Got My Mojo Workin with Jeff
taking over the vocals. This was followed by a
funked-up version of Walkin Blues, with Kevin
again taking over the vocal duties and laying down
the goods with a slide guitar solo and then they
did their take on Messin with the Kid which
featured a rocking guitar solo. Jeff closed his set
with Willing accompanied only by Kevin on
acoustic guitar.
The third harp maestro up was Dan OBryant,
also known as Sweet Danny Ray, one-half of
the Washington Blues Societys representatives in
this years International Blues Challenge. Danny
opened with I Believe I Have The Blues, and
he followed by a spirited version of Big Boss
Man. Next was a little number called Rollin
and Tumblin which featured another choice
slide solo by Kevin on his customized Harmony
Master F-hole guitar which has a P-90 pick-up
installed on it. This guitar has wonderful tone and
Kevin considers it one of his favorites to play.
Danny next performed an original slow blues
called Promised Land, which Sweet Danny Ray
and Rafael Tranquilino will include on an EP that
will serve as their blues business card during the
International Blues Challenge in Memphis. The
set concluded with a fun take on Slim Harpos
classic Scratch My Back.
On stage next was the incredible harp and vocal
stylings of Paul Green who has won BB Awards
for Best Vocals and Best Blues Harp so many
times we named one of those awards for him
and his talents were on full display. Paul openedwith Statesboro Blues, a long time favorite of
mine. This was followed by a fast paced version
of Howlin Wolfs Evil, yet another old favorite,
which featured a ferocious and extended harp solo.
Pauls next selection was a slow blues, Muddy
Waters Just To Be With You. Pauls harp solo
was simply stunning; in fact, when given his cue to
take a solo himself, Kevin just stood there in awe
of Pauls performance and clapped his hands for
Paul before diving into an impressive solo on John
Gullas Hallmark guitar. This is quite the guitar:
classic lines, a cool look, wonderful tone; I would
describe it as an ES 335 on steroids and Kevin
gave it a nice workout. Paul closed his set with aWillie Dixon song performed as a blues rhumba,
Shake For Me, which was a hit for Howlin
Wolf. The dancers certainly did shake their stuff
as they lled the danceoor while Paul launched
into yet another exceptional harp solo.
The nal Mississippi Saxophone ace to take
the stage was harp virtuoso Jim McLaughlin,
resplendent in his white suit and blue vest with
watch chain and the blue hat he wore at the 2013
Washington Blues Society Best of the Blues Award
show in Kirkland. . Jim also featured Angelo Ortiz
on congas. Jim received a 2013 Best of the Blues
Award in the harmonica category, and he is a two-
time winner of the prestigious international Hohner
World Harmonica Championship. Jim opened his
set with Sean Denton, whom he prodded to help
out on vocals, on Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette
done in double time. Kevin took over the vocals
for the next three selections starting with the slow
blues Bring Your Lovin Home To Me. This
was followed by a splendid take on Hand Jive
performed with plenty of gusto in that special Bo
Diddley beat. While the band was rocking the
house, Jim took his microphone and blues harp on
a crowd walk giving Brian, Paul and Jeff each

The night ended with a ve-song nale that br

A Little Bit, later popularized by Magic Sam

enjoyed themselves as much as the aud
appreciated their performances.

The Old Village Pub has supported Toys for Tots
for many years with an annual toy drive, and in its
second year, the Jones Family Christmas brought a
full house of blues fans in to ll the Toys for Totsdonation boxes with plenty of toys on December 7,
2013.
The evenings entertainment started with the spirited
guitar of Chester Dennis Jones backed by sometimes
band and jam member Mike Baxter on keyboards
and the Stacy Jones Bands rhythm section of Rick
Bowen on drums and Tom Jones on bass.
Chester played a ve song set opening with Green
Onions showcasing Mikes talents on the organ.
There are several songs you will nd in almost any
Chet set, including Born Under A Bad Sign.
Chets guitar work is always notable on this cut and
this night was no different. Another staple of his sets
is Crosscut Saw with Mikes keyboards rounding
out Chets sound and adding another dimension to
it. Rick Bowen added an entertaining drum solo
starting by playing Chets Stratocaster from his
seat behind the drums with a drumstick while Chet
held it and fretted the strings. Then, Rick proceeded
to pound on everything around him, the wall, the
door, the electrical panel all much to the crowds
delight. Chet slowed things down a bit for Mean
Hearted Woman; but then, he proceeded to play the
strongest guitar solo of his set. Next, Chet brought
up Stacy Jones to add her harmonica to Treat Her
Right. He opened the song with a short Christmas
song interlude and then dove right in. During thesong, he took a crowd walk playing to the folks
sitting in the back of the room, up at the bar and
mixing it up with the dancers.
Chet introduced his nal selection as a song written
by a local guy who played a little guitar. I will try to
do it justice.
The tune, one that Chet frequently ends his sets
with, was an instrumental version of Little Wing.
I will note that Chets version had little to nothing
in common with the popular Stevie Ray Vaughan
instrumental version. It was much more nuanced
and played in the vein of Jimi Hendrixs original. Ofcourse, Chet added his own original ourishes.
Most importantly, Id like to think that Jimi would
have been pleased. The SRO audience at the Jones
Family Christmas certainly was.
After a short break, the Stacy Jones Band took the
stage for an eight song set that featured many of the
bands more popular songs. Stacy played acoustic
guitar for the rst two selections and the dance oor
was soon full with fans, half of them singing along
to every word.

work on this song were absolutely outstanding.Stacy stayed on harp for the next pair of songs
including the Rolling Stones Miss You. Next,
she switched over to keyboards for Lets Do
It Again and Do What You Wanna, and then
Stacy closed out her set back on blues harp with a
spirited Big Boss Man.
After Stacy, the nights third Jones Act set up.
All the way up from Los Angeles, California:
the Dennis Jones Band. Dennis works with Rob
McDonald on bass and Raymond Johnson on
drums and has four CDs out plus a DVD. This
trio brought the house down. For his live sets,
Dennis mixes old blues standards with originals
and he included seven in this set. Dennis playeda total 22 impressive ery, rock-infused cuts. He
opened with an original instrumental that really
had an excellent groove, and he showed off some
of his assertive guitar chops. He followed this by
another original, Brand New Day.
Dennis followed those with three covers: Howlin
Wolfs Whos Been Talking? Freddie Kings
Tore Down and Otis Rushs All Your Love.
I couldnt even begin to write about each song in
his set, so I will hit on some of the more stand
out moments. Like the time the bass
sang Buddy Miles Them Changes,
was featured on Jimi Hendrixs Band of GAnother standout moment for me was De
version of ZZ Tops La Grange which s
into John Lee Hookers Boom, Boom, B
and then back again.
Cold Shot, Red House and Road Ru
were also in this set. Dennis invited Che
up to share the stage on The Thrill Is Gone
it was Dennis Jones squared. Dennis ende
a ferocious Purple Haze, and continued
really cool version of Peter Gunn. Dennis
impassioned, high intensity guitar licks ke
packed house and dancers happy througho
sharp-edged set.
The Toys for Tots collection boxes over
with donated toys, and I noticed a numb
stuffed animals for the little ones. There w

and we will be looking forward to the third a
Jones Family Christmas at Lynnwoods V

When The Beatles sang, When Im 64, back in
967, pondering their future circumstances, who
wouldve thought their teenage audience would
ctually be that age someday? Well, if were lucky,many of us are approaching our sixth or seventh
ecade. And if were really lucky, were still
ut there playing music or dancing or enjoying
omeone who is.
eattle Singer and Bandleader Richard DeGuare is
elebrating his 64thbirthday with a party featuring
is band, Richard DeGuare & the Review, at
he J&M Caf in Seattle. This promises to be
n excellent night of music with the Chicago
lues and R&B Vocalist and the very ne singer
Naomi Watson. DeGuare has been a mainstay
f the Seattle blues scene since he moved here
everal years ago from the Chicago area, and his
erformances are bursting with an energy and
itality of someone half his age.
Music and performing is therapy for me, says
DeGuare. And he says music has helped him get
hrough some of the hardest times in his life, so
es celebrating. Hes also taken a down-on-his-
uck experience and used it as a resource to help
thers.
Washington is blessed with a wonderful mix of
lues musicians of all ages, with a lot of the top acts
eading into their 50s & 60s. That lyric, Will you
till need me? Will you still feed me? can become
little more of a reality for some, especially for aworking musician in todays economy.
A few years ago, DeGuare spent a few months
without a permanent residence. He experienced
rst-hand how not having a solid base could make
early everything in ones life feel unstable. He
ound a way to help himself by helping others; by
ulling together people who were working toward
he same goal. Now he tries to help others the
ame way, by pointing people towards services,
ecovery and group housing solutions.
could just be a ride to the hospital or a talk at
he bar. He has formalized his ideas in a programe calls H.M.A.C. or Homeless Musicians
Assistance Coalition. Were simple people using
imple ideas, he says. He also says he encourages
musicians to play when they can. Its therapy,
e says, It keeps you from doing the things you
ont really want to do. DeGuare regularly plays
he downtown Seattle clubs in Pioneer Square like
8 Keys, the J&M and the New Orleans Creole
Restaurant, and he has many musicians with
whom he networks, because he believes musicians
hould help musicians.
Event Preview: Richard DeGuares
64thBirthday Party
Trumpet player David Ruddock, also known as Black
Butter, is one of the musicians DeGuare has employed
recently. Richard is a good man with good ideas,
Ruddock says.
DeGuare has been featured on Marlee Walkers Blues-
to-Do TV show, lmed weekly out of Seattles 88 Keys
Dueling Piano Bar. And about the blues, DeGuare
says, if you feel bad about your circumstances, Its
in a way that you know you dont have it worse than
anyone else, he says. Feel sad as you want, listen
to some blues, walk out the door happy. And happy
is what Mr. DeGuare hopes to spread around at his
birthday party. At the oldest bar in Seattle, The J&M
Caf, Friday, February 7 from 7:30 p.m.
Happy Birthday Richard DeGuare!

Launching a Great Blues Year at the Blues Bash!By Robert Horn (Photos by Blues Boss)
What a way to begin a year for blues fans. The
Bluesbash at the Red Crane had a lot of cross-
cultural avor while the music was blues.
Yes, the rst act has been described as a twisted
mix of Mexicali-Northwest music (maybe withDelta-Austin-Chicago blues avoring in it). So,
instead of Juan Mohammed ORiley & Billy
Bob Hiwakawa doing Norwegian folk music
in French while we ate ravioli and drank vodka
we listened to Raphael Tranquilino and Sweet
Danny Ray put on a great blues show. Danny is
one of the most under-rated vocalists and blues
harmonica players in the region and Raphael
does something wonderful with his guitar. I
want to tell more about that as well as I recap last
months blues bash at the Red Crane restaurant
in Shoreline.
When I worked on a project with a former Music
Therapy Association of America president, JoeMoreno, I remembered that some of his work
included using blues music to shift moods and
orientations (like changing tempo to change
mood). That applies here. Raphael can take a
serious subject and use his guitar, driving up
the happy energy, and adding great big smiles,
along with interaction with the audience to take
whatever the blues song is about and get people
smiling and laughing and be so glad they are
alive. The audience always loves him.
Danny Ray opened with the harmonica with
powerful and soulful riffs while Raphael started
off with a beautiful acoustic performance onwhat Danny reminded us are an original song.
Danny sang well too. Next, Raphael sang in
Spanish (on songs like Mantira O Verdad
and Espera) while playing great blues with
the mixed avor of New Orleans gumbo and
Chicago sausage in it.
Later, Danny Ray sang a song with a great
reverb avoring that was followed by Thats
the Blues. These guys performed a bunch of
originals, before getting to a Jimmy Reed song.
Yes brothers and sisters, in addition to originals,
classics like Big Boss Man and Rollin &
Tumblin got people on the dance oor. Danny
did a lot of the vocals and all the harmonica.
Raphael did all the guitar and some of the vocals.
I will order a full plate of that anytime in any
language in any country. I am glad this duo is
heading to Memphis on the ticket stamped by the
Washington Blues Society.
After the opening act and the blues societys
free rafe drawing, there was the other band
the Washington Blues Society is sending to
Memphis. Bakin Phat is a blues band even if it
sounds like something on the menu at Billy BobsThai Restaurant. The most beautiful Peruvian
woman in the world drank a glass of Merlot next
to me as we shared some French fries and loved
the jump blues swing delivered by Bakin Phat.
They performed a lot of originals like Shake
Your Boogie but also some of the greatest blues
classics like Born in Chicago and Messin
with the Kid. The dance oor was packed and
if you love swing dance music you have book
Bakin Phat booked for a dance party. They have
that kind of music perfected. The feet must move
when Bakin Phat tells them to.
The next night I had arranged to be at the
harmonica extravaganza with the greats like
John Mayall, Charlie Baty and Rick Estr
Bakin Phat could open for them anywhere a
time and lay the foundation for such an act. T
great harmonica and vocals of Dave Allen shou
not be under-rated. The guitar playing of Denn
Higgins is worthy of award consideration sta
wide. The rhythm section of Ken Danielson
drums and Pat Porter on bass is good enough
take them to Memphis, as well as maybe Mosco
Paris, Cairo, Hong Kong and wherever Antho
Bourdain takes his travel and food show. Gre
music that is blues should be added to all kin
of other cultural experiences. What a great w
to begin the year, and the second Tuesday of ea
month will deliver more and more in 2014.

Blues CD ReviewsHard Garden
Blue Yonder
(Hard Garden Music)
Seattle is building quite a lexicon of electronic
based music and the trio Hard Garden aim to
add a little blues to the mix. Delta blues duo
Son Jack Jr. and Michael Wilde along with mixmaster Garret Williams have released their rst
full length album Blue Yonder, a fresh take on
the basis of all pop music.aka... the blues, by
mixing it with an entirely programmed backup,
full of found and sampled sounds. Anchored by
Jacks deep groovin guitar and Wildes hot harp,
the tunes run the gamut from dance hall stomp
to tales of personal lament. The rst highlight
begins by quoting founding father Son House
and then transforming his classic Depot Blues,
into a Euro dance party anthem. The dark funk of
Papas In The Juke Joint, burns with some nasty
slide playing and EDM drop outs, and the southern
fried techno tango I can Tell, would be suitable
for the Treme soundtrack. Jack penned his owntheme song in the gritty riff based Dangerous,
and we are treated to a bonus remix version from
Scudder, who gives it the full treatment. Pour Me
Another, displays not only Jacks droll wit and
charm but some hot harp licks from Wilde who
then recants his own night of debauchery on the
minor key Maximum Insecurity. Showtime,
is a light hearted tribute to the God father of soul.
HG describes the blues as, not unlike an old plot
of land that was once fertile but has suffered from
neglect over the years, and become a hard garden.
With Blue Yonder the group may indeed have
sparked new growth in a genre that undeniably is
at the root of all things and deserves to be nurturedto a fresh spring. Rick J Bowen
Ronnie Earl & the Broadcasters
Just For Today
(Stony Plain)
www.stonyrecords.com
Ronnie Earls jazzy style of blues guitar
instrumentals has long been a favorite and
Just For Today, this superlative live collection
recorded at three Massachusetts venues is an
excellent example why. The 13 tracks feature
mostly originals by Earl and his band mates and
include tracks from his two most recent StonyPlains releases from 2009 and 2010 as well as a
few selections from other previous releases and
some new songs. Ronnie frequently honors his
mentors in his song titles like Blues For Otis
Rush, Wolf Dance,, Big Walter, The Magic
of Sam and Blues For Robert Jr. On Just For
Today Earl included Blues For Hubert Sumlin
and Robert Nighthawk Stomp. The three
cover songs included here are John Coltranes
Equinox, Jimmy Witherspoons biggest hit,
Aint Nobodys Business, now a blues standard
and Id Rather Go Blind the lone track with
gut wrenchingly soulful vocals sung by Diane
Blue, which sends shivers down my spine. Earl
opensJust For Today with the guitar given romp
of The Big Train. The ascending guitar lines
over an organ wash on Miracle sound instantly
familiar. Rush Hour is a blues shufe with
Booker T style organ by Dave Limina and Earls
searing guitar solos and Ronnie displays some of
his considerable jazz guitar chops on ColtranesEquinox. Ronnie gives Dave a nod on his own
boogie woogie piano romp Vernices Boogie.
The aptly titled Robert Nighthawk Stomp is
an up tempo blaster and Earl closes outJust For
Today with the equally aptly titled Pastorale
with its slow mellow groove. Malcolm Kennedy
The Seth Freeman Band
Seth Freeman Band
(Soulful Gypsy Records)
The next generation of artists is poised to take their
place in the Pantheon of blue and roots rock, and
young lap steel stalwart Seth Freeman is ready
to join the ranks. With the release of his rst fulllength self titled album Arkansas born Freeman
delivers eleven tracks that embrace the future and
pay homage to the past with equal measure. The
opening track Rollin and Tumblin takes on
the classic with the scalding wale of Freemans
vaunted lap steel over top a raucous modern rock
groove from John Seaberg on bass and drummer
Adam Hagerman, Rik Nielsen joins in on slide
guitar and the two trade licks like Allman and
Betts. Freeman then shifts gears covering Hayden
Sayers soul blues ballad Love Wont let Me
Go, with Chris Gulley adding funky Wurlitzer
piano to the mix. A ne reading of the Jimmy
Smith standard Back At The Chicken Shack,may be Freemans way of telling purists that this
young man really can play the blues. Finally on
the fourth track we get to one of Freemans own
tunes, the acoustic campre love song Good
Love, that features some tasty nylon string and
dobro solos along with ne harmonica from Clyde
Heberling, giving it the right amount of country
sadness. Fellow Arkansas soul brother Lucious
Spiller not only agreed to let Freemen cover his
smooth neo-soul tune Put the Blame, but joined
him on harmony vocals as well. After the down
and dirty blues of Red Dress, Freeman launches
into the Santana styled instrumental Aurora. He
then hands over the lead vocals to Zach Bramhallfor the soulful In the Reins, and his dad Jeff
Freeman for the rollicking jump blues Crazy
Bout Ya baby. Rick J Bowen
Ron Dziubla
Nasty Habit
(Rip Cat Records)
www.ripcatrecords.com
Ron Dziublas name (pronounced joo bluh)
keeps popping up in the credits of CDs I have
reviewed like Rip Cat Records label mates The
44s along with Janiva Magness, Robert Cray,
Los Fabulocos, Rick Holmstrom, The Ma
Boys, Kid Ramos and more. Ron has also w
with the Royal Crown Review and Rock &
Hall of Fame member Duane Eddy. Nasty
is Dziublas Rip Cat Records debut and his
release and was produced by Ron and Pete
(Los Straightjackets). The 11 tracks fe
include nine originals and a pair of jazz stanHarlem Nocturne and Night Train both
Rons own way. It is easy to see why Dziu
quickly becoming the go to sax man in L
town. The tunes onNasty Habit could easily
sound track to a spy movie or maybe an old
detective ick, just plain cool. From the op
cut Fine Time Dziubla displays his honkin
and air. The rollicking fast paced Loose
surf rock feel as does the title track. .My fa
tracks are Lemon Drop Martini with cov
Mia Muse as enchantress and Rons all s
take on Harlem Nocturne. Nasty Habit
your standard blues release; but for those w
to venture outside of the box it is very coo
and tons of fun. Highly recommended. MaKennedy

By Eric Steiner
I wanted to thank Bluesletter readers and
Washington Blues Society members for their
continuous and unagging support of blues
music and blues musicians throughout the Pacic
Northwest. Over the past few months, Ive seen
some of the same and familiar faces at events
like the Washington Blues Society Blues Bashat the Red Crane Restaurant in Shoreline, the
Jones Family Christmas at the Old Village Pub in
Lynnwood and at the blues shows hosted by Engels
Tavern (a Washington Blues Society Best of the
Blues award-winner) in downtown Edmonds. At
each event, I reconnect with Bluesletter readers
and blues society members and ask for suggestions
on how to improve this publication and how to
improve the society.
I, too, want to improve the print edition of the
Bluesletter, and due to a number of factors,
last months issue did not receive the benet of
sufcient proofreading. Thats why the story on
the Pocket Full of Soul harmonica documentary
was listed in last months table of contents, but
left on my spare room oor. The storys included
in this issue, along with a picture of rafe winner
Suzanne Swanson, who came down from British
Columbia to reconnect with Lee Oskar and other
Washington blues players and fans. This month,
our group is going to look back on the electronic
copy of the January issue and make a few necessary
(and missed) corrections. As a result, the virtual
copy, via PDF, will be as error-free as possible.
Another improvement that I would like to suggest
is also relatively simple: every week, I get words
and pictures that I cannot use. Sure, I want to print
new writers and publish new photographers, but
few new contributors review our publications
requirements that are usually listed on page three
each and every month. If you would like to
submit a story for consideration by our editorial
team, please send it as a Microsoft Word or text
attachment to me at [email protected]. This
year, Im adopting practices more consistent with
former editors Mary McPage and Jim Vail: I will domy best to work with contributors who contribute
editorial content by our published deadline the
fth of the month for inclusion in the following
months issue. I get a number of submissions
via email: I cannot format and copy and paste
editorial copy sufciently from my email program
to the Adobe In Design program. So, please: please
contribute with an attachment instead of sending
the story embedded in an e-mail..
Same thing goes for pictures. While there are a
number of excellent collections of photography
online at select Facebook sites or web sites, its
best when a contributor reviews the photo for the
right resolution (300 dots per inch or greater) and
formatting (for color, the print standard of CMYK
is preferred; for black and white, we use grayscale
images). I appreciate the number of links that fans
and performers send me to Facebook and Dropbox
resources, but appreciate them more when the
contributor ensures that his or her contribution
is in the proper format for print publication (as
opposed to the lower-resolution environment of
the World Wide Web).
Whether its a new picture or a new story, the
same deadline applies: the fth of the month.
This months Bluesletter had the benet of early
or on-time submissions from Bob Horn, Malcolm
Kennedy and Rick Bowen. I hope that Blue
readers and Washington Blues Society me
enjoy Bobs interview with Jeff Menteer, the
Dogs reviews of the Harp-Aggedon show
Madison Pub and the Jones Family Christma
Rick Bowens conversation with British gu
Bex Marshall.
My Blues on the Road column is bacmonth, and I hope that it offers some sugge
to support nationally-touring artists wh
visiting the Pacic Northwest this month.
Ill sign off with a few Blues Years Resol
that I drew up during the set change at last
Jones Family Christmas in Lynnwood. In 2
plan to:
- Feature younger blues talent from througho
region, whenever possible,
- Continue to accept criticism, and do a bett
of responding to fomer, current and prosp
volunteers who want to help with the Bluesl
- Broaden our readers musical horizo
including reviews and features on acts th
busting through boundaries (like Hard Ga
and
- Attend more local, live shows in the g
Seattle area as my schedule allows.
Until next month, please go see some live
Most importantly, bring a friend!

Letter from the Editor
By Eric Steiner
This month, our Board is looking at
ways to become more efcient, trim
expenses and promote blues musicians
and blues music. Along those lines, I
am looking at ways to cut our mailing
costs. Each subscribers mailing label
has a letter code above their names. We
use the following codes to facilitatingmailing:
S a single membership and one vote in
our awards process,
C a couples membership and two votes
in our awards process,
H is for thosed inductied into our Hall of
Fame or Lifetime Achievement Award
winners.
Z is a free subscription with no voting
privileges. Several years ago, I gave
away complimentary subscriptions to
artists and record labels I met along the
blues trail nationwide, but our costs in
mailing and postage require us to revisit
this practice. Depending on Board
of Directors approval, we will likely
continue to provide complimentary
subscriptions to fellow Blues Foundationafliates, national and regional blues
publications, and blues record labels.
Please take a moment to look at your
mailing label. If your code is Z, its
likely well part as friends if we do not
receive your membership Requests for
exceptions will be considered, but weve
not heard from over 80% of our free
subscribers over the past ve years and
its time to help our blues society reduce
our mailing costs.
Whats on Your Mailing Label?
