I see Tab Benoit will be in Urbana this Saturday along with Lonnie Brooks and Bernard Allison. Looks like it may be a nice Saturday road trip.
I haven't had a chance to see him in years, but I love Bernard Allison.

It looks like a nice little fest. I get off work Saturday morning at 7 and it is a quick ride down to Champaign/Urbana so we decided to go and bring the kids. I even used Hilton points to get a free room about 3 miles from the event. One thing I wont being doing is putting my tongue anywhere near Mr. Benoit. http://www.urbanablues.com/
While I am at it, heres a link to THE funkiest little radio station in Central Illinois. Actually its a pretty funky radio station anywhere.

Glad to hear that, I'm sure Tab is relieved, as well... but please, dear Mike, do point the camera at him and take some great shots! Love seeing those hands on that guitar! Tell Leon we said hello!

In addition to being a great performer, Bernard is one of the absolutely nicest guys in show bizness. Some years back I was standing backstage at the Handy Awards in the green room where all these blues greats were just hanging around. Bernard came up to me and introduced himself, and we had a nice chat.

Bernard always did like the walkabout.
