Photo Gallery: Late Wednesday to Afternoon Thursday

Getting ready on awards day did not involve sitting around plucking and preening! No way – we hit the halls for some hellos, then hit breakfast and then off to Court Square for an acoustic set by Jeff Jensen & Brandon Santini.

B.B. King’s was showcasing Yellow Dog Recording Artists Colin Linden (who is amazingly talented in so many ways), Mary Flower (guitar player extraordinaire and thank you for comments) and the Eden Brent BMA Award winning piano player/singer/songwriter.

Back to the hotel to buy drink tickets (ahem) and some more visiting, then dress up time and on to awards. Photos to come from that!

Photo Gallery: The Return of the Blues on Beale Street

Well since the internet at the hotel was very cooperative we had to wait to get back home for me to post up some snaps of what went on – you will not be disappointed.

Great times and superior music that ran from Rum Boogie to Hard Rock as artists played, jammed, mingled and made us feel welcome.

Thanks to everyone – I’m not gonna mention names at fear of forgetting one or two or three, but you know who you are, and we all loved it! But a special shout out to Carson Lamm & Rattlebone Jones for their efforts.
