   About West Of Memphis
West of Memphis Founded in 1999 by Harmonicist Karl Cabbage and Guitarist Tom Walpole, West Of Memphis has been plying the Blues trade in and around San Diego for 7 or so years. Supported by an array of able sidemen, Cabbage and Walpole has succeeded in keeping the vision of the project on course. Committed to playing high quality and authentic American Blues Music, West of Memphis has not succumbed to market pressures that would have the band lazily following the road well traveled. In 2006, West of Memphis released their debut effort, Monkey Business which earned the Band a San Diego Music Awards nomination for Best Blues Album 2006. In 2007 The band headed north to Montreal, Quebec, Canada on the invitation from Canadian Bluesman and Harmonicist extraordinaire Bharath Rajakumar, to record the follow up album "Honey Pie". Early reviews on this effort are great. West of Memphis has plans on releasing the "Honey Pie" cd early in 2007. West of Memphis can currently be seen every Friday night at the San Diego House of Blues from 6-10.

Cher Ami,
Mon clip Neurofibro est en ligne depuis hier. Il parle de la maladie génétique orpheline, la neurofibromatose, dont je suis atteint et qui m’a paralysé il y a maintenant 10 ans.
Il faut absolument se mobiliser. Si vous voulez nous aider, merci de le regarder et de le diffuser à toutes vos connaissances. Pour nous, les malades, c’est vital. Plus le clip sera vu, plus la maladie, sera connue, plus nous aurons de poids dans les médias et surtout plus on aura de chance qu’un médicament soit trouvé.
Merci à tous.

Dear Friend,
My Neurofibro clip is online since yesterday. He talks about the orphan genetic disease, neurofibromatosis, which I achieved and that paralyzed me there are now 10 years.
It is imperative to mobilize. If you want to help us, thank you for watching and distribute to your friends. For us, the sick, is vital. Over the clip will be seen over the disease is known, we will have more weight in the media and more will likely be a drug found.
I thank you all.
