GREAT SOUTHERN BLUES FESTIVAL...the end of an era. The world's first supergroup Blind Faith (Steve Winwood from Traffic, Eric Clapton & Ginger Baker from Cream, Rick Grech from Family) sang a song "Had to Cry Today."

So sad that we will never have this experience. We had hoped to share it with you in the future. Such sad news. Glad you made it 17 years.

I'll join you in tears
Great memories over those 17 years - friendships formed, music styles discovered & the excitement as each October long weekend dawned - will need to research for another festival - I won't take this lying down ?

Great memories my love...what a privilege to share it with so many great folks...all gathered for one reason...that blues music ministers to the soul. We support live music to keep it alive. Always looking forward to the next gig. Let's head off to one now!
