Except for the opening song from Karen Lovely I startd the show featuring Austin TX. blues artists. I had planned to feature a lot more Austin area musicians but I got a little distracted and somehow wound up in Chicago (not that that's a bad thing) and Louisiana by way of Memphis. Lost? me too. Long story short, it doesn't matter who it is or where they're from as long as it moves you and makes you feel good.

I started this morning off with three guys named brown, and that didn't include Gatemouth or Roy. I guess I could have kept the string going and even included the great Ruth Brown in the mix, but I didn't feel inspired to do so. Hey a guy could do an entire show just using the last names of Brown, King Johnson and Taylor. Maybe another time.
