Thanks to Fernando Jones and the Blues Kids Foundation, we were able to send 10 Blues Project kids to Blues Camp in Chicago last week. Like real bluesmen, we rode the train into the city and walked to Columbia College, where the camp was held. Each day the campers met together to hear a guest speaker or performance, and then broke up into smaller ensembles and rehearsed a handful of songs to perform. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, these esembles played at Reggie's, The Glessner Mansion, and the Hard Rock Cafe. We went to the Zoo on Tuesdaya We even were given a hotel room on Wednesday night, so we had some time to check out the Chess museum and eat at Legends. It was an unforgettable experience and I hope that we can do it again next year!
