Reggie Miles	Nov 23 2009 10:20 PM Here's a video that was captured of me offering my bottleneck slide interpretation of an old blues song, Goin' T' Brownsville, on open mic night at Old Strokers in Everett, WA. It starts out with me briefly introducing my homemade "Nobro" resophonic guitar and explaining some of the various recycled garage sale junk that I used in it's construction. Enjoy!

Stu Heydon	Sep 16 2009 10:38 PM Stu Heydon 3^rd Degree Self Windsor-born Stu Heydon is a veteran bluesman with his first CD as a leader. He began his career playing with Detroit’s legendary Bobo Jenkins, to whom this CD is dedicated. A charter member of the Windsor/Detroit scene, he was also a long time member of the Wild Child Butler band after he re-located to Windsor. So he knows about the blues. Although he has since moved to Carmel CA, he recorded much of this album at Grant Avenue Studio in Hamilton with our A-List players: Prakash John & Jordan John are on bass & drums, Mike Branton on rhythm guitar, Les Smith on harp andMichael Fonfara/Bob Phillips/Dennis Keldie on keyboards. The result is a solid program of original songs. “Middle Of The Night” is a chugging opener that reminds me of Coco Montoya or John Mayall. “Closing Time”, at a similar tempo, is another one of the highlights – a packed seven minutes that goes by too quickly. The B3/lead guitar sound he likes reaches its peak on the title instrumental, a jazzy delight. The slow blues “Fooled Myself” features a lengthy solo by the unheralded Les Smith although solo may not be the right word. Heydon simply sings over the hard-working band, much as a jazz singer might. It’s unusual but works very well here. As a singer, he
Stu Heydon	Aug 22 2009 3:04 PM STU HEYDON - 3RD DEGREE Gitarist Stu Heydon speelt al jarenlang blues en verdiende daardoor tijdens the Motor Cities Blues Awards, de "Lifetime Achievement Award", deelde 't podium met zowat de halve top van het blueskruim en deed zowat elk betekenisvol bluesfestival in Amerika. Ook zijn er weinig stijlen binnen de blues die nog geheimen voor hem hebben. Late night jams in Bobo Jenkins befaamde studio elke zaterdag avond met de beste bluesmuzikanten van Detroit' waren een perfecte leerschool voor hem. Diezelfde Bobo Jenkins was bovendien zijn persoonlijke leermeester op gitaar. Stu speelde twintig jaar lang met Bobo en Wild Child Butler. Wat later verhuisde hij naar Carmel in Californië, waar hij zich hoofdzakelijk met de Blue Room recording Studio verbond, en er les gaf aan jongere muzikanten, omdat hij besefte dat de blues in gevaar is momenteel, en hij ziet het als een taa
