~~~From the Prez~~~ August 15, 2010
Hello Blues Lovers,
Your new President, Boyd Bluestein, finally writing to let you know how excited I am to have a chance to make a positive impact on our Blues world in Houston and The Gulf Coast! I hope you, like me, find yourself pinching yourself on a regular basis, and musing "We don't know how lucky we are!"
Sure, we have a rich history, and that is to be celebrated. But we also have a great present, and an unlimited future! There are some of the finest musicians anywhere right in our backyard, and I hope you are able to enjoy their talents on a regular basis.
With the transition complete, the new Board for the Houston Blues Society (some familiar faces and quite a few new) thanks Linda and the past Board for their tireless efforts in making 2010 such a sucessful year! They turned the reins of a well-oiled machine over to us, and we all intend to take advantage of the momentum!
Some initiatives have already been implemented, and others are on the way. Look for an enhanced website with streaming music, and a Blues of Houston Record Store. We also hope to have You-Tube links to local artists' video perfomances.
The IBC pre-liminaries are around the corner, so encourage your favorite Blues Bands or Solo/Duo artists to participate. There will be a link on the HBS Home very soon. A thirty minute performance can be the catalyst for an HBS sponsored trip to a stage in Memphis in February! Make your plans now to attend The Big Easy for Prelim Round 1 on September 12, and The Continental Club for Round 2 on September 19. Many of Houston's best Blues artists will be competing to advance to the finals at Dan Electro's Guitar Bar in mid-October.
Stay Thirsty (For The Blues), My Friends,
Boyd
