Hey Portland, Don't forget that if you're interested in picking up a copy of Blues on Beale Street, Memoirs of the International Blues Challenge, co-author Greg Slim Lively Johnson will have ten copies at the Cascade Blues Association meeting, Wednesday, February 4 at The Melody Ballroom, 615 SE Alder St. 

Two sets of live blues starting with an acoustic set by Tim Connor and a band performance by the JT Wise Band at 7:00 pm, free for CBA members, $3.00 for non-members. All ages welcome.

The books have each been signed by documentingBlues photographer Jenn Ocken, and Greg will be glad to sign them personally for you at the meeting.

Memoirs of the International Blues Challenge is a love letter told in photographs, accompanied by a series of written experiences, short stories, song lyrics, and thoughts from a variety of attendees and participants in the International Blues Challenge, an annual event sponsored by The Blues Foundation in Memphis, The IBC attendees include national and international blues fans, blues society members, festival and music producers, managers, DJs, photographers, and musicians of all ages. The book's emphasis is on the emotional aspects of this blues event: why the attendees return every year, what it's like to participate, and the impact of the growth of the event over the years on the blues community. The photographs, taken by Jenn Ocken over more than a decade, illuminate special moments and the overall atmosphere of the event, and Greg "Slim Lively" Johnson's words immerse the reader in personal perspectives from voices in the blues community. The book is a must-have keepsake for anyone who has attended the IBC and a great gift for any fan of the blues.
