Had a practice session with our new drummer Dave Johnstone last night. Great success. Dave is a thoughtful and dilligent stick man. The Outram Octoberfest won't know what hit it.
Wound up another semester of harmonica lessons on Monday. Always sad to end those classes. After four lessons, it's when most of my students are just starting to make real progress. Ah well, time to send them off into the world to spread the Gospel of Muddy.

Out of hibernation
It's been a sad case of neglect here on Dunedin Blues, but I'm still here. I've just been rather busy reinventing myself as a photographer and guide that I've had little time to make music.
However, I'm teaching another semester of harmonica at Otago University, and I'm trying to put a little combo together for the Outram Oktoberfest. Should be fun, Sid and Mike are keen, I just need a good drummer to complete the circle.

This just in
It's been a while, but I haven't exactly been inactive. I've just finished teaching my little blues harmonica course at Otago University. Once again I've set a dozen or so young people out into the world of blues, hoping they'll take root and do great things one day.
Not much more to tell, apart from this:
Tickets are now available for the fourth Long Beach Blues Ball on 5 June 2010 with King Leo. Anders "Junior" Jensen is back with his fellow Vikings in the far north and the other Growling Dogs have moved on to different projects, so this is your chance to see the new lineup. King Leo will be serving up high-octane Blues with the addition of a horn section, so don't miss it.
Dunedin favorites, Skybus will be opening, and once again Purakanui School will be raising funds by selling refreshments. The Blues Bus will be making the trip to and from the hall as well. Doors at the Long Beach Hall open at 8:30.
Admission is $20, or $30 including transportation to and from the hall on the Blues Bus. Tickets are available on the website (www.kingleo.co.nz) and as soon as tickets are printed you will be able to purchase them from Twang Town (45 Moray Place). The Long Beach Hall only holds 100, so we recommend getting your ticket early.
