I don't believe you are enjoying yourself.
Are you ready to continue with the blues? We also have another little girl by the name of Shirley Wells.
This is the best one that we ever had in Chicago.
Can I get a hand for that? It's going to be great pleasure to introduce this young man.
Let's get together and give Mel Jackson and Bobby Blufan an orchestra round of applause.
Hey, hey, look at that! Give it up! Okay, I'm here basically because of the Blues Fest.
I'm an ex -professional jazz musician, so therefore I dig most of the blues.
Like Muddy Waters, Hollywood especially.
Still the O's was noted for the blues on Lake Street.
Okay.

James Scott was just the beginning.
I'm from the committee that program this festival, this historic festival.
It's master of ceremonies.
He also happens to be a featured performer later tonight.
But as you know, the blues themselves have had the chance to get ahead of their own new generation.
So right now we're going to start giving the blues its just blues.
And most of the artists here have worked with Muddy Water or around Muddy Water for 10 years.
Because they recorded them in the early days.
On the drums.
Everybody knows him with the blues because I think he plays them in the blues band.
Right now on the guitar he plays with Muddy Water and I'm sure you know him.
And Robert on the bass over there is one of those good men that know how to get out with it.
And he's just the young fella by the name of Sam.
And that's the blues.
And Willie.
And Willie.
And Willie.
And Willie.
Thank you ladies and gentlemen.
We're going to go up on the little bloody side and get ready for Mr.
Lewis and we're going to go over.
Music Music A few people who made this festival possible.
Aside from the noise office and the no -highlight brewing company there were a number of individuals in the city who gave free of their time and power to book this thing and give it a shake on a forum that you've all enjoyed over this past weekend.
Specifically I would like to thank the members of the festival programming committee.
And finally our MC for this evening, Mr.
Ben Brand.
He's also an official performer this evening.
I would like to introduce you to the now President of the War and War Rock Company, Mr.
Ben Brand.
Thank you.
This is the start of something to continue for the years to come.
You play your black? You can't get no blacker than the blues.
But anytime you're trying, we'll make you try a little harder.
Are you ready for the blues out there? We got a song the blues shot down.
Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music Music It's great to be out here in this gorgeous weather, enjoying the blues.
It's great that the city is putting this on.
For one thing it's free.
It brings all kinds of different people together.
Under beautiful weather, it's great to listen to music, relax, enjoy the good company, have a little wine, a few grapes.
I really hope the city is going to do this kind of thing more.
We really need it.
It's important to keep the soul of Chicago alive.
And for me at least the soul of Chicago really is in the blues.
I hate to think that we spend so much time worrying about money and other things that we also can't afford to be people and to enjoy ourselves.
I think this is great.
For me Chicago is my home.
I live right over here.
This is one of the best things that I've got right in my own backyard.
Music Music Music Music Music I'm from Madison.
I heard about the Chicago Blues Festival and John Lee Hooker was going to be here so I had to come down.
Last night I saw Johnny Winters and this is a memorial to Muddy Waters and I thought I'd check it out.
The blues are a great institution of America, I think.
Been around a long time.
Real long time.
And John Lee Hooker is here tonight and he's really good.
I saw Johnny Winters last night and he was real good also.
And the sun's coming out.
Hey, that's nice.
Can't beat that.
I guess that's about all I really got to say.
I love the blues.
And this is Mike, Brett, Steve, Jim and Mike.
And there's three things we like in life.
That's cooking, soccer and the blues.
And that's why we're here.
Hey, I'm wearing pork and beans pants on here.
We love the blues.
We're going to talk to Brett right now.
I'm a blues lover and a beer lover.
That's about it.
Yeah, we can't get in any blues bars.
That's why we're here.
And we're having a good time.
We are blues aficionados, mother and daughter, and friend and company.
This is our shelter and our town and we're proud of it and we enjoy it.
And we're proud of the coffee coming out.
