I got lucky last night. Three of this area's legendary perfomers, Bill Bush, Billy Ledbetter and Hank Bowman, all came to see me at the supper club. For more than two hours, I didn't have to sing a note! What a night, and what a pleasure to accompany these great vocalists.
Also in attendance was Mr. Stan Lewis, one of the great pioneers of the recording industry. Stan recorded many of the early country, blues and rock n' roll stars. He was a true heavy-weight in recording and record distribution.
I was fortunate enough to have my trusty Nomad Jukebox digital recorder with me and I recorded the entire evening and also took photos so I can remember the occasion and flatter myself with the memories of the night.
Nights such as this make me wish more of us from SZ could get together. I've had the pleasure of hearing Tom C., Gary D., and Boo, and they all were great. Boo does play a mean sax, and sings as well.
Of course hearing my buddy HankB is a regular thing, but friends, he is a true showman! I know Boo and Tom got to hear Hank, but I don't remember if Gary did.
I wanted to go hear Hank tonight, as he is working over in Shreveport, but I decided I need to rest more.
Later,
