JUNE<br />
2011<br />
By Micki Houze<br />
There are two seasons to every year, waiting for<br />
Festival Season and Festival Season. I would like to add<br />
another season, waiting for Charlie to visit and enjoying<br />
Charlie and his visits. June is the best month of the year<br />
because we have both, Charlie and festivals. Speaking<br />
of festivals, many people from the <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Blues</strong><br />
Community are going to Eureka Springs for the Festival<br />
to perform and have fun. I will miss you and hope you<br />
have a terrific trip.<br />
Wednesday June 1st, Samantha Fish is having her CD<br />
release party at Knuckleheads Saloon. As you already<br />
know, she has been touring with the RUF Records Girls<br />
with Guitars <strong>Blues</strong> Caravan all over Europe. This CD is<br />
Samantha’s own and I have already heard buzz from<br />
unnamed sources (her dad Bill) that it is a great CD.<br />
My favorite CD’s are from <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong>’s own talented<br />
musicians and this will make a terrific addition to the<br />
collection.<br />
Friday June 3rd, At Coda it is first Friday with Jason<br />
Vivone. This is a comfortable little place with great<br />
food near the Crossroads Art District. Check out Jason’s<br />
website, he does tend to perform at venues that will<br />
embrace you with a hug.<br />
FUNdraiser Alert Saturday June 4th, Talented<br />
musicians don’t just happen: they are mentored and<br />
guided through the music making process. <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
has a musical history that will rival any city in the world.<br />
Thanks to Arthur Seabury and his Urban Community<br />
PKCBs -june 2011<br />
Leadership Academy there will<br />
be musicians from <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
for generations to come. Today<br />
is the 8th annual <strong>Blues</strong> in<br />
the Schoolyard Festival starting<br />
at noon. Come on out and<br />
support this fine program.<br />
There is a long line of musicians<br />
joining students to perform.<br />
UCLA Student band starts<br />
things off, then Acacia and the<br />
Brothers Kids, Ron Teamer, Rockin’ Rick, double Exposure,<br />
Jah Lion and Linda Shell’s <strong>Blues</strong> Thang, This is just the<br />
start of a huge day for music in <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong>.<br />
Saturday June 4th, At the Independence Events Center<br />
we have local international stars, Trampled Under Foot<br />
opening for Pat Travers and Kenny Wayne Shepherd.<br />
Pat Travers is more than just the guy with the hit “Boom,<br />
Boom Out Goes The Lights” he has been making great<br />
music for decades and has put out 30 albums in the past<br />
35 years. He has been credited with assisting on albums<br />
with other notables too. Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s first<br />
guitar was purchased for him by his grandmother with<br />
S & H Green Stamps. He grew up in Shreveport<br />
Louisiana and has had four Grammy nominations and<br />
two BMA awards. <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Blues</strong> <strong>Society</strong> will be<br />
there with an information booth so please come out and<br />
say hello. Way up north is one of my favorite Chicago<br />
<strong>Blues</strong>men, Joe Moss. He will be performing outdoors<br />
at Wabash BBQ in Excelsior Springs. Joe’s blend of<br />
blues and R&B has made him one of the most popular<br />
musicians on the windy city circuit at venues like<br />
Buddy Guys Legends and the House of <strong>Blues</strong>.<br />
Thursday June 9th, Danny’s Big<br />
Easy is hosting the <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
<strong>Blues</strong> <strong>Society</strong>’s monthly meeting<br />
and jam. The jam band is the <strong>Kansas</strong><br />
<strong>City</strong> legend <strong>Millage</strong> <strong>Gilbert</strong>. This will<br />
be a great night down at historical 18th and Vine.<br />
Friday June 11th, Uncle Bo’s in Topeka has Connie<br />
Hawkins and the <strong>Blues</strong> Wreckers. Most of us know<br />
Connie and Steve Hawkins from Connie and the<br />
Choirboys. Now with their new band they are showing<br />
<strong>Kansas</strong> what we have known for years, Connie is a sassy<br />
and brassy vocal powerhouse.<br />
It is FESTIVAL TIME!!! Friday and Saturday June<br />
10th and 11th. I am happier than a hyperactive kitty<br />
with two balls of yarn to tear up. It is time for the<br />
Gladstone <strong>Blues</strong>fest. From the start on Friday night to<br />
the closing act on Saturday it is one blues party after<br />
another. Friday night starts with Lionel Young Band.<br />
This music veteran once was born in Rochester NY;<br />
he was a member of the Pittsburg PA symphony and<br />
later settled in Denver Colorado. The Colorado <strong>Blues</strong><br />
<strong>Society</strong> should be button busting proud of Lionel Young<br />
since he is the only double winner in the history of the<br />
International <strong>Blues</strong> Challenge in Memphis, He won the<br />
Solo/duo competition in 2008 and the Lionel Young<br />
Band won the famed competition in 2011. Next is the high<br />
energy of Stacy Mitchhart. Stacy has been a favorite the<br />
last two years at Merle Jam. Closing out the Friday lineup<br />
is Tab Benoit. It is always a treat to see this Southern<br />
Louisiana Guitar Gentleman who believes in spontaneity<br />
and does what comes natural which makes each show he<br />
does a unique experience. Saturday starts at 1pm, with<br />
our own Solo/duo competitor Jason Vivone. Jason is a<br />
terrific singer/song writer and can make anything with<br />
strings sing. Next is the Mary Bridget Davies Group. Ms<br />
Davies and her band were tight from the first time they<br />
played together. They won the KCBS band challenge<br />
and went to Memphis to represent us in the International<br />
<strong>Blues</strong> Challenge. Out of over 100 bands from around<br />
the world, they won second place. The charming<br />
Lonesome Hank and the Heartaches brings their classic<br />
blues and rock n roll up next. He is a charming harp<br />
player and singer and I find it difficult to believe that he<br />
is lonesome at all. Marquis Knox is next and although<br />
he is only 20 years old he has lived the true blues life.<br />
Born in St. Louis to a musical family generationally<br />
rooted to the blues, he spent much of his young life in<br />
continued on page 4
KCBs june 2011 P 3
continued from page 2<br />
Granada, Mississippi. He learned to play guitar from his<br />
grandmother. When he was just 16 years old he recorded<br />
his first album in two days, in a church with Michael Burkes<br />
during an ice storm. This album was nominated for a<br />
BMA award for Best New Artist. Now this alone could be<br />
considered one of the best shows of the year but closing<br />
the night out is Kelley Hunt. Kelley was born and raised<br />
in the <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong> area. It is hard to define her genre<br />
since she is influenced by greats such as Ruth Brown,<br />
Billie Holiday, and piano greats such as Professor Longhair<br />
and Johnnie Johnson. She is passionate with her<br />
music. My favorite Kelley Hunt song is a tribute to her<br />
piano teacher, “Queen of the 88’s.” It was this song<br />
along with Ms Connie Crash and her radio show that<br />
introduced me to the <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Blues</strong> <strong>Society</strong> so many<br />
years ago.<br />
Friday June 17th, Today Charlie arrives from England<br />
for his twice-yearly fix of blues, BBQ and Boulevard<br />
beer and hugs from his adopted community. It is<br />
always good to see him and to remind ourselves of what<br />
a wealth of talent we have here in <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong>.<br />
Another Festival! Friday June 17th and Saturday<br />
June 18th, Parkville River Jam. This is a free <strong>Blues</strong><br />
and Jazz festival. Usually there is parking at Park<br />
University and a shuttle to the festival. Friday starts<br />
off 5:30 pm with Roger “Hurricane” Wilson. Roger was<br />
raised in Atlanta GA, worked as music promoter and<br />
taught guitar for decades. Les Paul once exclaimed that<br />
Roger plays some great blues. Max Groove moves in next<br />
to show the smooth jazz style that has made <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
famous. Rounding out the night is Harper. It will be a<br />
treat to hear Harper’s unique blues harmonica and his<br />
native Australian didgeridoo in this beautiful park on<br />
the banks of the Missouri River. Saturday starts at noon<br />
with the Parkville Symphonic Band. Next up is The Trash<br />
Angels, a favorite of our friend and fellow KCBS board<br />
member, Cynthia Selder. This high octane punkabilly<br />
blues band plays over 200 shows a year coast to coast.<br />
Following this rollicking set is the gritty, soulful sounds<br />
of the Sena Ehrhart Band from Rochester Minnesota.<br />
Then some sweet jazz from <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong>’s own Angela<br />
Hagenbach and then The Mary Bridget Davies Group will<br />
round off this two day festival and leaving you begging<br />
for more.<br />
Saturday June 18th, Anyone who reads Charlie’s<br />
entries on Facebook knows that he has gone from<br />
being #1 fan to #1 friend of Samantha Fish, Dani Wilde<br />
and Cassie Taylor otherwise known as Girls with<br />
Guitars. They have toured all over Europe and finally<br />
will be here in Samantha’s hometown and her home<br />
venue, Knuckleheads Saloon. Along with the Girls<br />
with Guitars is going to be <strong>Blues</strong> Cruise reunion with<br />
The Sena Ehrhart Band fresh from their lengthy road<br />
trip from Parkville and the always personable Ronnie<br />
Baker Brooks. Editor’s Note: See Charlie’s article on his<br />
adventures across the pond - following Girls With Guitars<br />
in England –page 12<br />

Sunday June 19th, Happy Father’s Day to all the men<br />
out there who have cleaned a scraped knee, cheered as<br />
loud at a youth football game as he does for the Chiefs<br />
and has wiped tears from a little girl’s face after her<br />
first broken heart. Thank you for being a good man in<br />
a child’s life. To celebrate Father’s day, the Nace Brothers<br />
is having their annual<br />
Roots of Steel show at<br />
Knuckleheads Saloon.<br />
Friday June 24th at<br />
BB’s Lawnside BBQ<br />
is Catfish Keith. He is<br />
a two-time WC Handy<br />
award winner for Best<br />
Acoustic <strong>Blues</strong> and has<br />
been inducted into the<br />
<strong>Blues</strong> Hall of Fame.<br />
This fine musician also<br />
shares his knowledge as<br />
an educator doing guitar<br />
workshops and blues in<br />
the school programs all<br />
over the world. Tonight<br />
it will be a trip back in<br />
time.<br />
Well that is all I have for<br />
this month. Remember<br />
there are jams all over<br />
town. Mo Paul is hosting<br />
a new Saturday jam<br />
in the Northland at 2pm<br />

Coyote’s corner<br />
Friends, one of the best things about the <strong>Kansas</strong><br />
<strong>City</strong> <strong>Blues</strong> community, is the fact that it IS a<br />
community. When there is a fundraiser or a benefit<br />
or similar goings-on transpiring, the community<br />
usually comes out in support. I have news of<br />
another very important and worthy cause that<br />
needs such support. On Saturday, June 25, at the<br />
Hideout Bar & Grill in Gladstone MO, the<br />
“Benefit for Charlie Wilks” will be going down that<br />
afternoon. Charlie Wilks is the son of Hardlikker<br />
front man Paul Wilks, and a fine musician in his<br />
own right.<br />
Charlie has been blind since the age<br />
of five when a brain tumor crushed<br />
his optic nerve. He persevered and<br />
at the age of seven he began learning<br />
to play the piano. Over the next<br />
few years he learned to play the<br />
saxophone at age ten and a few<br />
years ago he began learning to<br />
play the guitar. This year he began<br />
playing tuba in his high school<br />
band. He has plans to go to college<br />
and pursue a degree in music by attending<br />
accredited music camps for blind musicians, and<br />
this is where your help is greatly needed.<br />
The National Resource Center for Blind Musicians<br />
is part of the Overbrook School for the Blind.<br />
Charlie will be attending a program at Dodge <strong>City</strong><br />
Community College this June and has hopes to<br />
attend another one in Philadelphia later this<br />
summer. The Benefit at the Hideout will be held<br />
to raise funds to get him there, and Paul has put<br />
together an outstanding lineup of musical acts to<br />
perform all afternoon on June 25. Scheduled to<br />
play that afternoon is Hardlikker, <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong>’s<br />
youth band hopefuls, The Unlimited <strong>Blues</strong> Band,<br />
some band called the Coyote Bill House Rockin’<br />
Boogie Band, long time KC stalwarts Blue 88 and<br />
more including the young man Charlie Wilks himself.<br />
There will be a jam session at the end and<br />
by Coyote Bill<br />
quite possibly some other fun<br />
stuff too.<br />
If you can’t make the show, and<br />
want to make a donation Paul<br />
informs me that he has started<br />
a fund. Checks can be made to<br />
“The Charlie Wilks Music Fund”<br />
and sent care of Paul Wilks to<br />
4210 Clark #301, <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong> MO,<br />
64111. Hope to see you there.<br />
IN OTHER NEWS: It’s June and that means<br />
outdoor festival season is underway. This year<br />
promises to be a good one. The end of May saw<br />
the KC <strong>Blues</strong>iacs hold their first <strong>Blues</strong> Fest, Picnic<br />
and Pig Roast in Overland Park. With any kind<br />
of luck the <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong>, KS Street <strong>Blues</strong> Fest is<br />
going to be happening this year. Also every year<br />
the good folks at the Coleman Hawkins <strong>Society</strong><br />
hold a Jazz festival in the spring and a <strong>Blues</strong><br />
festival in the fall. This year’s Jazz fest will be June<br />
17 and 18 in downtown St. Joseph, and the lineup<br />
includes the Mid-American All-Star Jazz Ensemble,<br />
The Bill Crain Group, Diversejazz and others.<br />
Sounds like a good one!<br />
That’s all for now, keep supporting the local scene!<br />

Girls With<br />
Guitars”<br />
Play The Old<br />
Country!<br />
by Charlie Monck, <strong>Blues</strong> News foreign corespondent<br />
Hello again, all you wonderful blues-loving people of<br />
<strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong>!<br />
Charlie Monck here, writing from Charlbury, in the county<br />
of Oxfordshire, England. I’ve been coming to <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
for several years now. Originally I came for a woman,<br />
but that fell apart, and I started to make friends with<br />
<strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong> blues people, and to hear that wonderful<br />
music … it is the best thing that ever happened, and<br />
my best friends are here, which is why I keep coming<br />
back! In June 2010 the <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Blues</strong> <strong>Society</strong> gave<br />
me a special award for supporting the blues. I look at<br />
that award every day, with love and great pride. One<br />
thing that I’ve not been able to do so far, though, is to<br />
welcome any of my <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong> music friends to<br />
England.<br />
Until now, that is. Because Girls With Guitars, featuring<br />
<strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong>’s own blues daughter Samantha Fish,<br />
together with Cassie Taylor from Boulder, Colorado, Dani<br />
Wilde from Brighton, England, and Denis Palatin from<br />
France on drums, started their first ever tour of England<br />
on April 26th. Gigs in Neeth, Yorkshire and Kinross in<br />
Scotland led up to April 28th, when I saw them for the<br />
first time in England at the ROBIN 2 in Wolverhampton,<br />
near Birmingham, about 80 miles from where I live. I<br />
was able to attend four gigs, and I hope that this will<br />
give you an idea of Girls With Guitars, as well as an<br />
impression of how they were received in England.<br />
Thursday April 28th dawned! I somehow got through a<br />
day’s work in Reading without boiling over, and left just<br />
after 3pm for the 125-mile drive to Wolverhampton.<br />
The ROBIN 2 is a big barn-like place, and can hold 700<br />
people. I arrived in plenty of time, and I was the first<br />
through the door. One or two others drifted in over the<br />
next few minutes. Samantha arrived, and it was lovely<br />
to see her! Huge hugs, as always happens when we<br />
meet again! She disappeared backstage, and I went for<br />
another pint of Banks’s Bitter.<br />
And then Girls With Guitars hit the stage! Straight in<br />
with their cover of Keith Richards’ and Mick Jagger’s<br />
“Bitch”. This has almost become their signature tune<br />
after that wonderful YouTube video which has grabbed<br />
so many people by the throat: utterly magnificent!<br />
Sadly the sound was not the best, and although it was<br />
rectified by the 2nd or 3rd song, this should not have<br />
been necessary, as they sound-checked beforehand!<br />
And frankly, the sound man’s excuse to me about<br />
needing to make adjustments to suit the people in the<br />
room was laughable, as sadly there were only 36 people<br />
in. I know, because I counted them.<br />
12 PKCBs -june 2011<br />
They played many songs<br />
off the “Girls With<br />
Guitars” CD, including the<br />
one that is perhaps my<br />
favorite, Cassie Taylor’s<br />
“Leaving Chicago”. Cassie<br />
very sweetly dedicated<br />
it to me, and of course<br />
it contained a wonderful<br />
Samantha Fish slide solo,<br />
which I adore! While<br />
I am on the subject of<br />
Samantha’s guitar playing,<br />
I must say that it<br />
improves each time I see<br />
her. She played some<br />
great solos, but her slide playing is hair-on-the-backof-the-neck<br />
stuff for me. She has both authority and<br />
confidence, and it is a joy to behold!<br />
The first set ended with another song off the CD, their<br />
version of Paul Pena’s “Jet Airliner”, which was a Top 10<br />
hit for the Steve Miller Band. Great stuff.<br />
In a chat with Samantha during the interval, she told<br />
me how Thomas Ruf and Mike Zito were instrumental<br />
in getting the girls together. They announced tonight<br />
that they are having such a good time that they hope to<br />
continue it into next year. This is very good news indeed.<br />
I eagerly anticipated the second set, and it did not<br />
disappoint! Highlights? There were many. Their version<br />
of “Highway to Hell”, for example, rocking it up like there<br />
was no tomorrow!<br />
Then, later in the set, Cassie knocked me dead with an<br />
incredible version of the song made famous by Billie<br />
Holliday, “Strange Fruit”. Let us never forget what<br />
that song is about. You could have heard a pin drop.<br />
Cassie – that was incredible.<br />
Each of them played material off their solo CDs. Dani<br />
played some songs off her “Shine” CD which were very<br />
well received. Samantha played several songs off her new<br />
CD “Runaway”, including the title song and also “Down<br />
In The Swamp”. On the basis of what I heard, this CD is<br />
a must-have … and Samantha presented me with a copy<br />
of it afterwards! Thank you Sam – love you!<br />
But perhaps the most “personal” moment of this<br />
“soloing” came during the second set, when Cassie sat<br />
down on the edge of the stage and invited us all to close<br />
in around her while she played two songs on the ukulele.<br />
An utterly beautiful moment.<br />
All too soon it was over. They finished with The Beatles’<br />
“With A Little Help From My Friends”, Dani playing a<br />
simple acoustic accompaniment. A lovely way to end the<br />
evening, with everyone singing along.<br />
I asked a few people for their opinions of the night, and<br />
it was 100% positive. One guy I spoke to said that if they<br />
play there again, word will have got round about them, and<br />
that the first time Walter Trout played there, there were<br />
only about 150 in. I hope he is right, that they DO come<br />
here again, and that next time the place is crammed to the<br />
rafters. They deserve it.<br />
Cassie Taylor, Dani Wilde, Charlie Monck ,Samantha Fish, and Denis Platin<br />
And so, on May 6th, to The Boom Boom Club in Sutton,<br />
about 15 miles from London. Unfortunately on the way<br />
there I crashed my car, but still arrived in time to hear<br />
the end of the sound check. Some guys at the club kindly<br />
gave me some tape to stick my car together with(!). The<br />
girls were all concerned about me, and Samantha came<br />
out to see the<br />
damage, and<br />
was amused<br />
by all the <strong>Kansas</strong><br />
<strong>City</strong> blues<br />
stickers in the<br />
back window!<br />
The Boom Boom Club can probably hold about 200<br />
people, and Samantha – bless her! – put my name on<br />
the door!<br />
Friends … this was an utterly magnificent evening.<br />
They played to quite a full house, and the audience was<br />
clapping and cheering each song like crazy. Highlights<br />
of the evening for me were hearing Cassie Taylor<br />
playing keyboards for the first time, on another<br />
FABULOUS number of hers called “Haunted”. Then<br />
Dani and Samantha’s steamy guitar solos, sometimes<br />
complementing each other, sometimes fighting a duel!<br />
And to top it off, Denis Palatin’s drum solo was just<br />
OUTRAGEOUSLY good! I am going to write no more<br />
about this gig, simply because words cannot do it<br />
justice. It was one of those “I was there” gigs: it was<br />
THAT good.<br />
My poor wounded little car safely got me the 110 miles<br />
home (after I slept the night in it!) and then about the<br />
same distance again to the city of Derby, where the<br />
evening of May 7th found me parked opposite The<br />
Flowerpot. All you really need to know about Derby is<br />
that the local football team, Derby County, has been<br />
renamed “Derby County Nil” by some people, due<br />
to their inability to score goals! But to the gig … the<br />
Flowerpot is a bit smaller than the previous night, with<br />
a very compact stage. I could hear the sound check as I<br />
arrived, so I contented myself with some excellent beer<br />
from the large choice available. Then the girls appeared,<br />
and as it was Dani’s mother’s birthday there were<br />
celebrations going on as well! When Girls With Guitars<br />
hit the stage, the room was quite full, with an appreciative<br />
and knowledgeable audience. Throughout the<br />
evening, the end of each song was greeted with massive<br />
cheers, and the band excelled themselves. All three<br />

<strong>Millage</strong> <strong>Gilbert</strong> to host open june jam<br />
@ Danny’s Big Easy!<br />
<strong>Millage</strong> <strong>Gilbert</strong> was born and raised in Jackson ,<br />
Mississippi and first began playing the guitar at<br />
the age of 4. He moved to <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong> in 1963,<br />
and immediately took to the thriving music scene.<br />
For many years <strong>Millage</strong> and his band held court<br />
at the legendary Grand Emporium, on Saturday<br />
afternoons fondly remembered as the “Blue Royal<br />
Matinee”. In 1999 he recorded the ever popular CD<br />
“Three Faces” for KC’s Red Hot Records. In 2004<br />
<strong>Millage</strong> <strong>Gilbert</strong> was crowned the “King of the<br />
Festival” at the <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Kansas</strong> Street <strong>Blues</strong><br />
Fest. He is a regular performer at that event. In<br />
2009 you could catch <strong>Millage</strong> and the BlueRays<br />
every Sunday afternoon hosting the open jam<br />
outdoors at Winslow’s.<br />
Check him out this month, Thursday, June 9th as<br />
he hosts the jam at our next KCBS Monthly Meeting<br />
& Jam at Danny’s Big Easy! For more info on<br />

Paul “Danny” Gosserand and Jean Stephens are<br />

people want to come here”, a quote by Jean Stephens<br />
from a recent article by Joyce Smith.<br />

KCBs june 2011 P
Girls With Guitars continued from page 12<br />
played songs off of their CDs. They have already proved<br />
their song writing ability, Dani with songs such as<br />
“Abandoned Child”, about the incredible work that she<br />
does in the slums of Kenya, Cassie with “Haunted”, off her<br />
FABULOUS “Blue” CD, and “Leaving Chicago” (which they<br />
did not play tonight), and Samantha with “Runaway”. But,<br />
tonight, I have to single out Samantha. She<br />
tore the place apart with her guitar playing, and<br />
totally won the hearts of the people of Derby. The whole<br />
room was cheering at the end. A FANTASTIC night!<br />
Cardiff, where they played on May 8th, was too far for<br />
me to go with work the next day, and so it was that I<br />
arrived at The Borderline in London on May 9th, for<br />
the last gig in their tour. It’s opposite Foyles bookshop<br />
on Charing Cross Road, and a similar size to the Boom<br />
Boom Club. Sadly they operate a “no cameras” policy,<br />
and confiscated mine on the way in. Of course that<br />
didn’t stop people with phones and small cameras, which<br />
annoyed me a bit …This turned out to be a great night. A<br />
very appreciative audience, but yet again the sound was<br />
not right for the first song: THIS IS UNPROFESSIONAL!<br />
Not YOU, girls … I’m talking to the club here. Eventually<br />
it was sorted. For their last gig in the UK, Girls<br />
With Guitars played a blinder! Too many highlights to<br />
mention, but if I had to pick one, I would have to be<br />
selfish and choose Cassie Taylor’s “Leaving Chicago”,<br />
which was not in the set, which a lot of us were shouting<br />
for at the end, which they did as a second encore, and<br />
which Cassie dedicated to (and SANG !) to ME! It was a<br />
perfect end to a wonderful tour. It was also good to meet<br />
Beyond The <strong>Blues</strong><br />
Thomas Ruf of Ruf Records again (I’d met him at the<br />
Quasimodo gig in Berlin in February), and to talk with<br />
him about what help I could be in getting future gigs for<br />
the girls in the UK.<br />
A little postscript … I arrive in <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong> on June 17th.<br />
And guess who is playing at Knuckleheads the day after?<br />
YESSSSSS!! GIRLS WITH GUITARS!! It will be great for<br />
all of you to welcome them to <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong>, and a wonderful<br />
return to <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>City</strong> for me too … and I suspect<br />
that it may make me the first person to have seen Girls<br />
With Guitars in Europe, England AND the USA! See you<br />
there!<br />
