FUNKY BLUES MAESTRO JEROME GODBOO TO CELEBRATE HALF-CENTURY!


Ontario bluesman Jerome Godboo will be turning 50 years old in July.  Here is his philosophy on the momentous event, as well as his upcoming gigs for June:

My career has never been worse or better than now.

Less gigs and more feeling the twang of needing to add a colorful
page to the blues book.

I'm turning 50 next month.

Learning to smile along the way, appreciating the moment and
knowing that change is coming.

You are only uneasy 'til you learn to ride the new situation.

Jerome
