A cross-reference to the first overnight radio show (CKCU 93.1 FM) placing a heavy emphasis on Canadian blues and fusions of same (2007-2012). From 2012-2014, "Rockin' the Blues from Canada" was broadcast on CHMR 93.5 FM (where it originated in 2005 as "Patchwork Blues"). This 'blog' was born in 2004 as a promotional tool for arts-related news until Geocities reclaimed its free websites. See also: http://nlbluessociety.blogspot.ca

Malaco Records building destroyed by a storm, This report quoted diredtly from Ray Fitzgerald's article in SpinningSoul.com: Malaco Records, which has recorded and/or released albums for dozens of soul and blues legends, had its offices and recording studios destroyed Friday afternoon when a tornado hit Jackson, Mississippi. Of the three buildings in the compound, one was a total loss, while the other two had more than half of the structure destroyed. A state of emergency was issued for 14 Mississippi counties as tornadoes ripped through the state on Friday as the death toll in the south rose to 17 early Saturday. Label co-founder Wolf Stephenson and about 15 employees were inside the buildings when the storm hit. All were confirmed unharmed. The buildings are located on Northside Drive in Jackson, where officials say most of the city’s damaged was felt.Sadly, the room that housed the master tapes from decades of great musicians like ZZ Hill, Little Milton, Bobby Bland, Dorothy Moore, Johnnie Taylor, and Denise LaSalle was reduced to rubble.To see a video news report on the sad occurance, click here. Thanks to Ben The Harpman for initially making us aware of this in his Juke Joint Soul newsletter.
Eddie Shaw to receive Mississippi Trail Marker next week! The great Eddie Shaw played sax in the bands of Howlin' Wolf, Magic Sam, Freddie King, Jimmy Reed, and Jimmy Dawkins. After Howlin' Wolf's passing in 1976, Eddie embarked on a solo career billed as Eddie Shaw & The Wolf Gang, initially keeping the entire lineup of Howlin' Wolf's last band (Hubert Sumlin, Detroit Junior, Chico Chism, and Shorty Gilbert). Eddie will be honored with a Mississippi Blues Trail Maker in his home town of Benoit, Mississiippi. The unveiling ceremony will take place on Wednesday, April 27, 2011, 2pm at Highways 1 and 448 in Benoit. Congratulation to Eddie!
Little Milton on YouTube! Please enjoy this July, 2005 clip of the great Little Milton's very last performance at the North Atlantic Blues Festival in Rockland, Maine. The clip shows three partial songs and a jubilent, inspired performance by a man still very much in his prime. Little Milton would leave us a month later on August 4 from a severe stroke. He had a brilliant half century recorded legacy and scores of loving fans. To see this clip, click here.

Kitchener ON
Celebrating the Art of Listening
This is the festival for people who play digital sticks and Halo,
suspended electric guitars, turntables and accordions,
jazz and violins and pianos (and pianos that play themselves).
This is the festival for an orchestra made of laptops and a regular one,
no strings attached.
This is the festival for groups to take very very old music which is Korean
and make it very very new and still Korean and then blow your mind.
This is the festival for legendary drone artists, Inuit throat singers,
warped-out easy-listening deities and sample abusers and gamers who are
secretly into ballet and a Quebecois street band
that think they're from the 1930s.
This is the festival for people who write and spin and hear and knit and draw
and breathe and program and perform and steal sound.
And this is the festival for you.

Ginger St. James
Capital Tease Spring Fling Burlesque
Mavericks Bar and Grill, 221 Rideau, 1st floor
Saturday, April 16, 9 pm – 2 am; tickets $15
Featuring a musical performance by Ginger St. James & Capital Tease Burlesque
In 2002, Ginger St. James first appeared on the Toronto scene as a member of Les Coquettes as a sultry singer; her affection for good old rock ‘n’ roll and the lure of footlights led her to Broadway songs. And Les Coquettes, one of the first burlesque troupes in Canada to revive the old vaudeville tradition, led her to form her own group in her hometown, the Steeltown Sirens. St. James also toured the variety circuit with famed Canadian mentalist Mysterion the Mind Reader and a host of other macabre performers.
Eighty shows later, St. James has emerged as a singer as well as a saucy soubrette with slithery moves, legs to die for and a smile to melt the ice in your gin and tonic. Along the way, she worked as an artists’ model, took the femme fatale role in "Lucky 7", an indie film feature (and she’s currently involved in two other independent movie productions) and performed as a guest with many well-known Hamilton bands.
