Weekend of the Blues!!


Bayfront Blues Festival 2011 is done and gone.  It was a wonderful weekend mostly in the sun.  Friday night it started to rain and even with our rain ponchos we got soaked.  We had to leave before the end because my bare feet had absorbed as much water as they could hold.  My sandals were still squishy on Saturday morning. I will give you a quick photo overview of our weekend.

Super Chikan & the Fighting Cocks
Yes that is a chicken guitar he is playing!
"Somebody shoot that thang!"

CJ Chenier & The Red Hot Louisiana Band
They had a great Zydeco flavor.
 I love the washboard sound!! 
Joe Louis Walker
Fantastic guitar player!!
Here I am Friday with my yarn in my lap.
I swatched a piece and decided it needed
a bigger hook so I ripped it all out and rewound
the ball to start over.

Big Head Todd & The Monsters
Yes that is a rain coat in front of me.
It poured!!! and I only got a few photos before
the camera was to wet to work and then we left for the night.

Devon Allman's Honeytribe
He is the son of Greg Allman and sounds much like dear old dad.
He has that great gravelly voice and can make that guitar sing!!
He threw a guitar pick into the crowd, I got it!
It will be added to my growing collection!



Lil' Ed & the Blues Imperials
He is about 5 feet tall but can belt
out sound from the bottom of his feet.
Tommy Castro
He closed out the night with a rockin' show!
He came off stage and performed right in front of us!!




Tommy Castro brought Lil' Ed on stage with him at the end of the show.
I thought Lil' Ed was gonna burst, he was smiling so big.

Tucker Jensen played bass with Trent Romans
in the tent on Sunday.  What is it about Bass players
and that bad-ass attitude?
Mick Sterling & The Irresistibles
He may not be as young as he used to be but he
still can climb up on the speakers to perform!
