I received this email today from Charlie Sawyer. He is a Professor at Harvard University as well as an accomplished harp and accordian player. He is in every sense of the word a "bluesman" He has also written a book on BB King and is very good friends with him. Here is Charlies band site for those interested: www.2120southmichiganavenue.com

Here is the email:

Hi, Bill,

Sorry you didn't make it to Portsmouth last Saturday.  We had a blast,
good audience, good music.

I'm doing a show (Tues, Jan. 18th) in Cambridge and I'd
be very glad if you and Shirley Lewis could come and do a couple of songs.
It's the final meeting of my blues history course at Harvard
Extension.  We're meeting in The Overdraught Pub, 877 Cambridge St.
The music will start at 7:30 with the 2120 band and we'll call up guests around 8:30

 Hope you can come,

  --Charlie

What a night a blast, it was great to play and be around so many people that love the Blues. The music flowed like good beer or a fine wine all night. The weather was fridgid outside (-10) but scorching guitar licks and a boogie beat kept everyone heated up inside!

 I have another show Thursday night, one on Saturday and on Sunday, the new band is going to debut at a jam.
