Hey Y�all...
I stumbled onto this place a few days ago. I�m a drummer, and I�ve been playing over 40 years. Yeah, I�m and old fart at 53...what can I say?

My main love is gospel/blues. But I also love greasy electrified Delta blues.

I play music for a living, and my day job is playing gospel, etc. for a live Tv show. I also have a blues band on the side - http://www.myspace.com/wireroad

Oh yeah...and I�m in Branson, MO which is not really known for anything related to �blues�.

Here I was thinking that the Branson scene consisted of older country and Vegas lounge acts and here you come and squish that notion

!!! At any rate welcome aboard.

Everybody looks good at the starting line. Get on your mark,get ready but you better keep this in mind. You can hit the ground running like you're shot from a gun but going the distance is the hard part son. Everybody looks good at the starting line.

hi almost-neighbor! i'm around little rock. hope you dig the joint here, it's the best!
i played a couple times in branson in '02/'03. things change and i'm not with that band any more, instead i'm in a blues duo and we play mostly around home here. that may change as we get the plan in motion. who knows, we may run into each other!

enjoy bmbf partner!

Howdy BBM!

Gospel by day and blues at night - that's a pretty cool gig. There's a young fellow from our area named "3rd" that has been involved with some kind of instructional video called Gospel Chops that looks like fun. Have you ever heard of this video project? I wanna go to Branson and check out some of my old country heros.

Hey, Bran-man...

I just got here myself...

So you like that heavy duty Delta stuff...

So do I... I loves it...

Sorry, I gotta a drummer.... Me... Yeah, I used to play drums in bands in the 60's and, well, I'm workin' drums (played strickly with the feet) into my act... So far so good but if my legs give out, I maybe giving you a call..
