2009 Howling Wolf Memorial Blues Fest - 9/4!

[BluesDawg]

I've posted regarding this event in my hometown on here in years past, and once again...it's time for one of the best organized & produced indoor blues festivals I've ever attended bar none! Richard Ramsey & the Howlin Wolf Memorial Blues Society is a class act all the way, and they do a fine job with this event every year.

This year, the festival will honor the recently departed Willie King...a down-home blues man with double the heart of most people I've ever been fortunate to meet. I hate I can't make this one.
