MMO Friends: A reminder that my brother, John "Greyhound" Maxwell, will be appearing at Creek House in New Brighton on Saturday, May 4th at 7:30pm (sadly, Bella--above, right--is not accompanying John on this tour). The Washington State Blues Society named John as its Best Acoustic Blues Guitar Player in 2018, and he received a similar award when he still lived in California. John plays pre-war acoustic blues, ragtime, and originals on guitar, metal-bodied resonator guitar, and resonator mandolin. He will be performing St. Louis Women on resonator mandolin, and his slide playing on our favorite instrument is pretty amazing, if I do say so myself. Creek House puts on regular house concerts and is a first-rate listening room for acoustic music. To reserve a seat and get directions to Creek House, visit: www.creekhouseconcerts.com. To listen to John's "Bella's Romp," visit: https://youtu.be/XpQUk84cSYc To listen to St. Louis Women, visit: https://youtu.be/AFge96aYTvs I'll be joining John on blues harp and mandolin on several numbers. Hope to see you all at Creek House on May 4th! Steve
