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!

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.

ust to let Washington Blues Society readers know, DVDs and digital

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

followed him and passed his guitar off to

instrumentalist Brian Lee to nish the song

closed things out with the classic Summer

While we could never have guessed, this w

audience.

The night ended with a ve-song nale that br

A Little Bit, later popularized by Magic Sam

sung by Brian Lee with Paul providing harm

accents that also supported commanding

By Malcolm Kennedy

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.

One of my long time favorites is the Rick Bowen-

penned Heavy Water: Stacys vocals and harp

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

y Amy Sassenberg

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

Washington Blues Society BB Award w

Polly OKeary returns to form with her third

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!

Washington Blues Society Bluesletter

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?
