My best shots of Blues Fest...

I wasn't really trying, after shooting these guys so many times, still, these may be the best shots I have ever taken of Don Kesee and the Bluesmasters. Not only is Don one of the best, real deal bluesmen of the Brazos Valley, but he is pretty photogenic...



The Blues Brothers tribute act will never be the same again...



Dr. Michael Birnbaum brings country blues authenticity to the event every year.

 


Sweet Mama Cotton making her annual appearance, but this time with her kick tail band!


After two great nights of music, I went home and crashed and never made it back Saturday... heard it was cherry.  I'm sure it was, but I'm finding out what happpens when I have too much of a good thing... 



But with a smile like that, it was an evening hard to forget.

Some wonderful shots of why I love this town!

Sorry Michael, but you are young to the rest of us!

Seeing these young people take part in our wonderful culture of music...
Tells me we are doing something right!

This little guy stole the show at the Navasota Bluesfest when he walked on the stage and knew the song just like the "real" Blues Brothers. 

The Blues Alley Cats' bass player, Jett McFalls' grandaughter Kensie made Navasota blues history as the youngest performer to sing on the professional stage. She did not blink an eye.
