[Dixielandjazz] Not Exactly OKOM, but some great acoustic blues guitar on TV tonight! (Thursday 6/03)

[david richoux]

Hi all,

There is a new PBS TV production that will be on the air (well, on  
cable or satellite, anyway, since they lost their broadcast antenna a  
while ago) on KCSM TV in the SF Bay Area, and maybe soon in your own  
region. This new series is called Sierra Center Stage and it comes from  
the Sierra Nevada Brewery "Big Room" in Chico, CA (apparently the best  
performance hall in the city!) The first performance is by the great  
Delta Blues guitarist Roy Rogers. I have heard him many times with  
harmonica player Norton Buffalo (he will also be on the program) and  
there will be many other guests and interviews.

Maybe a good future opportunity for some Chico or Lodi based OKOM band?
