NEW WORK SPACE FOR PROJECTS
At last there's plenty of space for working on the Blues projects uninterrupted!
There was a bit of a delay on the "Livin' Blues" recording while getting the room together. Now that it's just about done there's a light at the end of the tunnel!
So without much further delay, watch for more releases, beginning of course with "Livin' Blues

BOO BOO's BLUES PROJECT CONTINUES
Back in the studio!
After a brief hiatus, work continues on the Blues project.
"Livin' Blues" is entering its final composition stages and
will be recorded shortly.
Some of these original pieces will also be included in Randi's other project, an "Blues Opera."
As Randi describes it, "...along the lines of 'Tommy,' but using blues instead of rock." The work is based on a book, "Stone Butch Blues" by Leslie Feinberg. Randi said she "...read the book some time ago, then recently picked it up again and got inspired."
It is believed "Boo Boo's Blues" will be the first completed project.
"'Stone Butch Blues' requires a great deal more work; writing the music, the libretto, stage directions and all. It's likely to be a lengthy process."
In the meantime, watch for "Livin' Blues" to be released shortly.

PICTURE FROM THE ROAD
Boo Boo and Band
Folks have been asking after Jack a lot.
"He's had some health issues, " Randi says, "but we're seeing improvement."
Lots of physical therapy and TLC seem to be doing the trick.
"He even picked up the guitar recently....it was a beautiful thing to see and hear!"
For everybody sending get well wishes, Jack says "Thanks for hanging in there with us. We'll be making music again soon."
In the meantime, here's a picture of Boo Boo and Band....taken during their recent trip to Arizona.

PREVIEW OF COVER ART
FOR "BOO BOO'S BLUES"
Cover art concept for Boo Boo's Blues
Although a work in progress, Randi wanted to show her cover art concept for "Boo Boo's Blues."
Randi explains, "I found this old picture of me playing at a house party back in 1972 and thought 'Gee...I have been at this for a while! So I decided to use it in the cover art."
Work on the project continues including making ready for recording "Livin' Blues," her latest composition, for the collection. This will happen right after Randi and Jack return from a brief trip to Arizona to visit family.

RECORDING COMMENCES ON BOO BOO'S BLUES
Saloon Blues - New tune!
Yes, it's true...the long touted blues
collection recording is officially under way!
"Just putting the finishing touches on a tune called 'Saloon Blues,' a low-down drinkin' blues song," Webster told BBN. "Then I'll lighten things up a bit with 'Livin' Blues.' "
Randi went on to explain that there will be a mix of new material ans some of the old bluesy BBBBB standards. "Songs like 'You Drive' and 'Take It Easy Blues' will be in the collection, too."
As to partner Jack - "He's been very helpful, lots of advice and so on. As his shoulder gets better he'll start playing guitar again. But his presence will be felt on this project via the re-issuing (and re-mastering) of the Band's tunes." Watch this website for sneak preview cuts via our Sound Lab page!

BOO BOO'S BLUES TUNE RELEASED ON INTERNET
"Take It Easy Blues," the Band's latest musical endeavor, was uploaded to Jango Airplay today. The song, one of Randi's early compositions, is standard blues done simply with a guitar, harmonica and voice. "It's minimalistic compared to the previous few songs," Webster commented, "I think I was over compensating for Jack's absence in those earlier works." The tune can be heard on Jango Airplay and also via our Sound Lab and Record Shop pages. |

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!
BOO BOO'S BAND ANNOUNCES
NEW TUNE IN THE WORKS!
In the studio recording "There You Were"
This is the season for making plans, setting goals and making resolutions. Rather than making a lot of meaningless promises that can't be kept, the Band decided to put their music where their mouths were by announcing that Randi and Jack are recording tracks for their next single release, "There You Were."
With this newest offering, the band will be continuing its use of the Yamaha keyboard along with their familiar guitar and mandolin. "The keyboard will be sitting in for the Steel Drum" Randi explained. "This song needs Steel Drums and the Yamaha's Voice Library has a good one."
So far the guitar, steel drum and bass tracks have been laid down, more to follow in the next few days. Look for a release by mid-to late January 2012!

"ELVIS" DEMO WORK NEARS COMPLETION!
Late night in the studio with "Elvis"
"When Elvis Drove His Cadillac," originally written as a lyric competition entry, has taken on new life these past few weeks.
The folks at Paramount chose another artist's work but sent an email encouraging us to pursue the song. Maybe make a demo and send it around. So that's what we're doing...lots of late nights in the studio, getting the right sound.
This recording will have more keyboard than any of our previous works....but what the heck! Just trying to keep it new and fresh.
We'll upload a sample shortly, then get the completed piece out to various agencies and of course to our listeners on Jango and other sites. Look for the announcement on this page and on Twitter and Facebook!

S.F. MEDICAL CANNABIS COMMUNITY
MORNS LOSS OF ACTIVIST....AND FRIEND
Long Live Tom King Solomon Jones
Thomas King Solomon Jones, known to everyone as Tom Jones, passed peacefully in his sleep at home after a long battle with illness and a very full life.
We met him in 1996 at Dennis Peron's Cannabis Buyers' Club at 1444 Market Street in San Francisco.
He was and remained to the end a charismatic, tireless defender of Civil Rights, the poor and homeless and of course medical cannabis patients and their rights to safe access of their medicine. He will be sorely missed.

BOO BOO'S BAND BACK IN THE STUDIO
Jack got sick a while back and took some time off to recuperate. Although he's still kind of weak, he's been feeling well enough to do some work on our latest tune, "When Elvis Drove His Cadillac." Once we get the melody down, it'll be time to go into the recording studio....then time to shoot the video. That should be a lot of fun. By the way, if you want to hear a sample of the melody, no words just piano, check out randi's thoughtbook page entry entitled PIANO MELODY FOR "Elvis" TUNE dated 09/18/2011.
Other tunes in the works include Jack's autobiographical "Rock N Roll Attitude," a blues song calld"Take It Easy," and "Country By The Dock Of The Bay."
"Country" is already recorded as a Draft Song, so it's almost ready for release. Just a few more adjustments and it'll be ready for the general public.
If you want to hear the song so far, go to our Sound Lab page and check it out. Let us know what you think!

Just in time for the 4/20 holiday season, the Band released "Higher Ground" to the world via YouTube.
"This song is about legalization of not only cannabis, but of thought, word and deed." Randi said, "It's about changing the world."
When asked about the chorus, Jack explained "We wrote this song during the Prop 215 Campaign. We had all the words down, and even the tune. But we couldn't find the right chorus. Randi had a dream that John Lennon told her to use the words from the chorus for 'Imagine.' So that's what we did."
"The video for this song is, so far, just a studio performance." Randi said. "We want to story board it sometime in the future. But for now, we figure the message is more important."
You can check it out on YouTube and also in our Video Vault.

BOO BOO'S BAND ENTERS GLORIANA
VIDEO CONTEST
We did it! We took up the challenge and entered Gloriana's video contest for "How Far Do You Wanna Go."
This was no easy feat...it involved Jack converting our dining room into a Chroma Key studio, learning how to use a MacBook Pro (Randi was strictly an IBMer to this point), shooting the video and putting it together, then having to re-work the whole thing when a computer virus ate the original storyboard work.
View the results on YouTube. It's also available in our Video Vault..
WE'RE HERE, WE'RE THERE....
WE'RE EVERYWHERE!
