Warehouse blues blogging

For starters, congratulations to Durham Parks and Recreation, Music Maker, and all involved in putting the Warehouse Blues Series together, on winning the North Carolina Recreation and Park Association – Arts and Humanities Award. According to the press release, "the award was judged on the basis of content, contribution to the community served, and expansion of interest in the arts and humanities." It also means that the Warehouse Blues Series is up for national consideration. I can say without hesitation, it's the best time i've had at a city sponsored event anywhere in the country that i've lived.

Tonight's show featured an encore performance by Captain Luke, Macavine Hayes, and "Cool" John Ferguson, and was, as always, spectacular. Even more special, "Whistlin'" Britches made his first public appearance of the year after some serious health issues. Good to see him back flirtin' with the ladies.

Special cocktail tonight: Caipirinhas.

Here's what you missed.

UPDATE: It occurs to me that i really should have singled out Annette Smith DPR's Recreation Manager, for recognition for her work in putting together the Warehouse Blues series.
