Orlando Napier played at The James Joyce Dec. 5. It was a hell of a CD release party for Orlando's new
CD "Vampire Nights". Orlando won the "Battle Of The Blues Bands" in October and will represent the
Santa Barbara Blues Society in Memphis for The International Blues Challenge.
Orlando will have another fund raiser at SOHO Jan.15. See you there!
The Fender Resonator guitar was
raffled off at the Tomcat Courtney
concert Saturday Jan. 9 by The Santa

Congratulations to the winner and
let's do it again soon. The funds

blues musicians to local schools
keeping the blues alive.
