Mary London: Hey Blues Family! FROM OUR PRESIDENT We dedicate this issue to The Father of the Blues, W.C. Handy, who was born Nov. 16, 1873. He is our Artist Profile this month. I hope you will take a moment to read about this extraordinary man. When I was a little girl, I thought music would unify the world…that peace and love would somehow enter the psyche of everyone who listened and we would find a way to cure the evil that resides in some souls. I still believe that, it was proven at our October Sunday Blues Bash, which also happened to be the day we had 5 bands in to compete for the Blues Challenge. Fans from different bands came together to cheer on their favorites. The bands themselves all played their hearts out to represent CBS at the IBC in January 2018. The CBS crew worked like a well-oiled machine together as we flawlessly lined them up and treated the room to some diverse blues styles and musicians from the Carolinas.
