A Note From The President - August/September 2008

Greetings Sacramento Blues Society (SBS) members & blues fans!
Whoa! What a great time everyone had during the 2008 Northern California Blues Festival in Fair Oaks Park! Thanks to Matson Breaky, William Neece, Elvin Bishop, Maria Muldaur, Mike Schermer, Mick Martin & The Blues Rockers, The Delta Wires, The Sacramento Blues Review, Leo Bootz & Southside Shuffle, Strictly for Kicks, Steve Foster Band, Jeff Watson Band and the Equinox Blues Review for a great start to the Summer. Also, thanks to all of the SacBlues volunteers and all of you that came out for some 'hot' blues! I also want to thank all of you that purchased the 2008 Northern California Blues Festival T-shirts. We were fortunate enough to add some needed funds to the "Blues In The Schools" program!
