The Blues Foundation

"If you love the Blues and you miss this event, you are missing out on the most exciting event in Blues. To walk the streets and hear Blues coming from all doorways, windows; out of the mouths of babies; out of the mouths of treasures; hearing what others have to say about the different classes of Blues; meeting people from all walks of life who love the music you do...it's just an unbelievable experience. You must try it at least once. I'll end with this thought. We all knew it was supposed to snow on Thursday night, but we didn't really care. We were in Memphis, on Beale Street, in the midst of the greatest Blues competition in the world. When the competition was over for the night and we were all sitting in Rum Boogie for the jam, it was snowing like crazy outside. We were all inside, warm, drinking and listening to some great Blues..I leaned over to the people I was with and told them this, "there's nothing better than sitting in here, drinking and listening to some great Blues music and watching is snow like hell outside! It doesn't get any better than this!" " – Lee Mitchell, Magic City Blues Society, Birmingham, AL
