Harp/Vocals says "Thanks" |
| Message: |
I would like to say "thanks" to Slim, Sandy A, Cannon, and Mitch C, for letting me sit in with them. I am a harp player from Atlanta working the "day job" thing in the area for a couple of months. Our duo "Rough Draft" won the 2005 IBC Competion in Atl. You folks didn't know anything about me but let me jam with you anyway. Everyone I have met involved with the Blues in the area has been genuine, warm, and extremely talented. I'm totally impressed and blessed to be welcomed by such a fine group of folks. I would glady accept any invitions to sit-in. Thanks to Suncoast, especially Diane Pritchett, for helping me get in the mix. |

Blues man Fiester dies at 52 |
| Message: |
I doubt many people in this area knew who this fellow was or knew just how important he was to the blues scene in that area and beyond. I only met him a couple of times - we jammed at a small blues fest in his area where they were always honored with headlining status even though they were only "locals". He was a fantastic person and a fantastic player and will be missed greatly.

Blues man Fiester dies at 52
Guitarist took show across nation
BY RICK NEALE
FLORIDA TODAY
COCOA - The MTV guitarist who opened for The Rolling Stones lived here, inside a tiny pink- and purple-painted detached apartment in the corner of his mother's fenced back yard.
Dave Fiester crisscrossed the country during his 40-year musical career, wailing the blues and improvising guitar solos at countless arenas, clubs and bars. After logging appearances on "American Bandstand" and "Solid Gold," Fiester joined The Legendary Groove Monsters in 1985, jamming for a multi-generational fan base at Brevard hangouts like Norman's Raw Bar & Grill in Cocoa Village and Lou's Blues in Indialantic.
Offstage, away from the lights, he helped care for his 77-year-old mother, Virginia, in the years after his father passed away.
Fiester, a trend-bucking singer, guitarist and harmonica player, died Saturday at his Cocoa home. He was 52.
"Dave lived his life, and he did it on his terms," said his younger sister, Lori. "I didn't see Dave conform to many things, and he did it his way. He was so influential on this scene for so many years -- when there wasn't even a scene.
"His main love was his family and his music."
The cause of death has not been determined. Fiester battled health problems over the past year, Virginia said.
A memorial service has not yet been scheduled.
Fiester died three days after he shared dinner with his surviving immediate family: Virginia, Lori, brother Paul and sister Diana. The event marked the first time the relatives had traveled to Cocoa to meet in unison in a few years, Lori said.
The longtime bluesman became entranced by a Muddy Waters song at age 12. Lori recalled how he formed his first band, Pig Town Lords, with Paul and some school buddies in El Paso, Texas, in 1966 or so -- she was the group's elementary school-age go-go dancer.
Fiester went on to work as a full-time musician almost his entire adult life. Lori said he was still working on unfinished songs, found alongside recording equipment inside his apartment.
Sporting straight belly-length hair, he hit it big during the early 1980s by landing a spot in The Henry Paul Band. Fiester played lead guitar and sang, contributing to three albums and appearing on an MTV special. The Southern rockers opened for The Rolling Stones and The Allman Brothers, among others.
Fiester and the Legendary Groove Monsters cut two albums, "I Gotta Cure For That" in 1990 and "Jammin' Live," recorded in 1995 in Cocoa Beach.
Brevard Live magazine named Fiester its first Entertainer of the Year in 2003.
"He was our greatest," Publisher Heike Clarke said. "Everybody that you would call would say that. He was very sensitive, very talented. We were all his friends and fans.
"Our hearts are broken."
Clarke said she spoke to Fiester about 10 days ago. Though health issues forced him to cancel The Groove Monsters' remaining gigs this year, he was plotting a comeback.
"He had all the intentions to come back strong next year," she said. Fiester performed at numerous local fundraisers and benefit concerts over the years, including a Lou's Blues jam last summer to raise money for victims of Hurricane Charley.
Lori answered a variety of calls Sunday on Fiester's black cordless phone, which doubled as the Legendary Groove Monsters' "grooveline."
"I'm pretty fried," she said. "He will be missed by many people. I've had about 20 calls on this phone today -- lots of shock, disbelief and sadness."
Virginia said her son enjoyed hunting. He traveled as far as Idaho on his trips. He also loved his pet boxers, Dakota and Cowboy. |

Anyway, always good to see you, its been too long.. even if we did run into each other at the police station (you explain that to your listeners). I hope to catch your show during the week. Well, best of luck and I'll keep an eye on Harding and Tucker for you.

Responding to Clare regarding blues clubs in Orlando. PLEASE!! I lived there for 16 years and we USED TO have blues places like the Junkyard but there hasn't been real blues in Orlando in at least 5 years - and definitely NOT House of ANYTHING BUT the Blues - that's why I moved to the west coast of Florida. Tangueray's did have the Houseshakers sometimes and Art
's Cigars did have Birddog Bobby (dear friends of mine). Glad you are at least finding SOME music. Take a ride over to the west coast sometime and indulge yourself. Check out the SBS calendar and come for a visit. |

The South Florida Blues community would like to extend our best wishes and continued support for the new year. Many of us will be attending the Tampa Bay Blues Fest and hope to see our friends again from the Suncoast area. 2002 was a breakout year for the South Florida Blues community. We launched our South Florida Blues Society and launched our new independent Blues Label - Mosher St. Records. Our first two CD releases, SHOWCASING THE BLUES - VOL.1 and THE HEP CAT BOO DADDIES CD titled LONG TIME COMIN' are receiving great reviews and CD sales are ever increasing. Our zBLUES.com WEB site has over 20,000 hits worldwide. 2003 has been designated YEAR OF THE BLUES and we will continue to promote and support the music we love. Blues Be With You. |

Telephone interviews with blues artists on KZUM |
| Message: |
Greetings All
I co-host a Friday PM drive time show in Lincoln, NE on KZUM 89.3 FM (WWW.KZUM.ORG). KZUM, the only community supported non-profit radio station in Nebraska offering twenty hours of blues six days each week plus a wide variety of other types of music . On my 90 minutes of "Confess in' The Blues" last summer I started phone interviews with artists that don’t get to Lincoln and have a web site so they can be checked out by listeners in the area. The station has a toll free number which helps the process. It has gone over well with people that listen to the show! Blues artists that are interested in this and offering to send music to the station for the library I will be glad to consider scheduling an interview.
Thanks!!

I can't tell you how many years ago we saw Rock Bottom do a "Harp duel" with John Mayall at Skipper's Smoke House, but we always remember a great evening. Now, after many years of supporting "live blues" we have decided to promote our own 1st Annual Blues Festival in East Greenville, Pa. for the weekend of Oct. 19 & 20, 2002. We have 13 bands lined up for the two days & hope to have a JAM each night after the last scheduled band finishes. If any of your club members are in Pa.for our fall leaf display please include our event. Please go to our web site: http://www.angelfire.com/music4/bluesfestival for any additional information.

Rock Had That Twinkle In His Eye |
| Message: |
He said to me one night in Sarasota at the 5 O'clock club, "you guys are good--you need to keep playing." I said, "well, we're just starting out, we need to work on (this and that, etc.)"
He cut me off: "You keep doing it, you guys are good." A little louder this time.
I said, "How do you know? You ain't never seen us."
Ooops. "People that I know who's opinion I respect have seen you play, heard you do my songs, and said you are good!" (said Rock, now getting into the arguement, and about two inches from my face.
"Oh. Thank You, Rock" was all I said, with a smile almost as big as his. Then we went on and did those things he ought not to do. And he will live forever through his music and in our hearts. Only two people I ever saw play in person could make me feel it from my head to my toes: Stevie Ray and Rock Bottom. It was all about tone. God Bless Rock Bottom. |

I grieve for myself, for his loved ones, and for the world of music, for it is profoundly diminished by his loss. He is one of the very best. We have been fortunate to walk in his shadow.
