Brit Packed Blues News March 2008!
Hello my friends,
I hope this find you well?
This News letter is marbled with much sadness at the loss of a real "Trooper" in the world of Independent Blues and Music as a Whole!
Les Lewellyn!
www.preyinglizardmusic.com/
Les was a much loved friend and inspiration to a legion of artists including myself! When the Corporate Record Industry continuously turns its back on the mother of all popular Music. Les was there to carry the torch for our beloved Blues!
Les's Music Medium was Big! His Preying Lizard Ezine was in the upper quartile of all pod casts on a huge level as searched by Google! And His "Road Rash Blues Show" was The Worlds Largest! And was inducted in to the Official Blues Hall Of Fame for his shows Outstanding Service to the Blues!
And his personal music outlet, was his band "Dixie Lizard", where he played everything!
Les was not only responsible for bringing independent artists such as me and thousands of others to your ear. He also wrote & recorded some stunning work himself.
I personally will always be grateful to this lovely man for his support & friendship and I will miss him very much.
God Bless Les & Thank you!
Note: Les's Family have asked that "The Road Rash Blues Show" be continued! And Les's close friend, and friend to us all, Mark Kerr has been asked to do just that!

Mark has followed in Les's footsteps and has become a leading figure in broadcasting himself. "The Blues Nation Show" has continuously climbed the rankings over the last 12 months and sits proud as one of the Biggest Blues Casts on Earth today.
I know one thing, Les will be very proud of Mark, as we all are, for keeping "The Road Rash" Alive and well in Les's memory. I wish Mark every success in the world, and know the show will grow with him at the helm!

As with Les & Mark, as a Musician you really need to sit back at times and open your eyes to the effort these fella's put in to keep the Blues Alive! Another wonderful example, is "Delta Boogie" it does exactly what is says on the tin.
Hairy Larry is another chap who spends every free hour god sends him, promoting bands and artists like me. Down in the Arkansas Delta Land, this "One Man Blues Bureau" can bring you everything you need to satisfy your thirst for the Blues!
This may look like a "No Whistles & Bells" site. But let me tell you. You will find the hottest links around to Blues artists all over the world. You will find Video Clips, Sounds, Forums & News. Like Larry's Music, its done with style, no fuss and with tons of passion. You will Love it!

A truly wonderful site that honours some truly global musicians of the highest order! "Uncle" Henry Marshal, along with friends from all corners of the globe, have joined to run, build and promote the Blues to those who's veins it runs through.
Honouring Musicians & Broadcasters alike, this site is truely worth a visit and to become friends of!
Finally:
