OK Folks.....I have now changed my email
address to John_at_bottleneckblues_dot_com &
my site is now ONLY accessible from www.bottleneckblues.com We've
gone all .com now! Please change your address books. According to my
Son (he of superior intellect, he calls his Dad a computer Dork & who am I
to argue?) says this is much better.....so we'll
see.
I had over 200 addresses bounce back when I
last sent the attached email so I hope you don't mind me sending it
again....just in case.........John.

Well Toby got away yesterday & sends his
sincere thanks to everyone....we had a ball....I might not make anything out of
these tours but boy do we have some fun. Not a day went by without us both
being reduced to tears ~ of laughter ~ not pain!
He commanded great respect & awe wherever
he played....Geoff...ex-senior roadie with the Rolling Stones & their close
friend (he's a great artist & paints their back-drops when on tour) said
he'd never seen or heard a guitarist as good as Toby....some compliment! I
have dozens of emails from around the country from promoters & audiences
alike expressing similar sentiments.
Thanks to you all for your forbearance last
Friday....it was a hard night for us all, not one I wish to repeat but I feel we
got out of it as best we could. My apologies to Gordon, Geoff, Bill &
the others who turned up but couldn't get a seat....I just didn't know how
I was going to set the room out until I got there. I only had 40 booked on the
Monday & within 12 hrs of finding out we didn't have our normal room I got
about another 70 bookings!!!....Sods Law....I probably turned 30 away ~ so
sorry.
OK....as I often say...The King is dead,
long live the King...which brings me neatly to our next
gig.
Corrina Greyson is, in my
opinion, one of Europe's finest Blues/Jazz vocalists & she ONLY works
with the best musicians. For example Winston
Delandro her lead guitarist (you've seen him
with Root Jackson, Taka Boom, Ian
Siegal) has done a lot of work with
Bob Marley he really is superb....a craftsman who is as happy with Reggae
& Jazz as he is with Blues. Her last lead guitarist was Matt
Schofield....get the idea?
This will be another "Masterclass" not just a
gig.
Plenty of space as I write
this....blimey....you lot are leaving things to the last minute at the moment
which does cause me a little angst! Please book up ASAP as I need another
50 or 60 at this gig to break-even & Corrina deserves a full
house.
John.

PS........Sorry about that "Test" email you
received.....I'm still trying to sort out my email & inadvertently sent out
a CC list instead of a BCC list. I'll but you all a drink at the 34th of
Octember gig.
