The Big Link

This weeks Big Link is here.

No posts this week as I had a lot going on. Still trying to find a job and get the schooling set up.

I did have a great road trip last Saturday. Went to see Michael Burks at the Double Door Inn in Charlotte. Michael played at the Carolina Blues Festival in Greensboro in May.

For those that did not attend, you missed a show. He really should have been the headliner, although I have nothing against the Holmes Brothers, who did headline.

In Charlotte, as well as Greensboro, Michael was phenomenal. Michael started playing at 10 and his FIRST SET did not end until 12:50 am. Yep, 2hrs 50 min of the best guitar playing, drum banging, bass thumping, organ orgasmic blues I have heard in a long, long time.

If you like the blues, Michael Burks has a show you don't want to miss. He plays the Triad often. Blue Bayou in Hillsborough or the Double Door in Charlotte. Make sure you see him.

Maybe ONE of thes days we'll have a venue in Greensboro that is not afraid to book some national blues acts, and you can see them without driving so far.
