"This is a public service announcement - with guitar!'' Joe Strummer Hi there everyone, these are the Blatant Plug from Memphis, Tennessee. Before I go into upcoming gigs, I first want to let you concerned caring souls know that fellow Memphis Musician Pete Pederson, who had a massive heart attack 2 weeks ago, NEEDS BLOOD. Pete has contributed so much to Memphis with his harmonica and songwriting, arranging etc..... IF YOU CAN HELP HIM NOW GO TO THE BLOOD BANK AND GIVE A DONATION IN HIS NAME... Thanks Ok, here goes the BLATANT PLUGS!!! You must be pretty darn musically hip to be on this list, or a friend of someone who is to put you on the list. If you do not wish to receive further notices, please just let me know. If you want to add a friend to the list, let me know ... thanks! MARCH 25 at the BLACK DIAMOND KEITH SYKES SONGWRITER SHOWCASE Featuring Richard Leigh, Pat Alger, Tommy Burroughs, and a bunch of songs about a girl named Emily. $10 cover. Show starts around 8 or 8:30. Parker Anderson and Philip Jaynes are playing at Kudzu's from 8 to 10 on Thursday the 25th.

Early gig 7-9:30 come on out YA'LL.... at Huey's Downtown (of course the crowds are always better in midtown) Talkin' about DIANE PRICE and her Boyfriends Yes, though Hueys has thrown out their Sunday Jazz Policy after nearly 20 years, you can still hear a couple of members of the Midtown Jazzmobile backing up the Empress of Memphis Barrelhouse Piano at Hueys Downtown on the following Sunday afternoons from 4 - 7 : March 28th, April 11th April 25th You can expect to hear plenty of sultry blusey numbers from her new cd release, A Good Man is Hard to Find which of course will be shamelessly hawked from the tiny bandstand in the window APRIL 7 is the NEXT SONGWRITER NIGHT at the SOUTH END. Booked so far, besides Nancy of course, is BRUCE BILES aka KIDD BLUE! I understand Mose Allison will be making the scene at Hi-Tone April 8. Ok, that's it. Hope to see you at a gig soon.
