2009 Les Paul 1915 - 2009
“In the 1930s he began experimenting with guitar
amplification, and by 1941 he had built what was probably the first
solid-body electric guitar, although there are other claimants. With his
guitar and the vocals of his wife, Mary Ford, he used overdubbing, multitrack
recording and new electronic effects to create a string of hits in the
1950s.” NY Times “No other single person has had
a greater influence on the music that we now hear every day of our
lives. “

really a cliché when the band actually set up in the Toler’s garage
during the 22nd Annual

Ah, change Don’t you love it.
It’s the one thing you can always count on. Blue Million has a new lineup.
Actually, the new lineup, is the original lineup with Gary
Cash back on bass rejoining Andy and
Alan. For those who have followed Blue

years or recently discovered Blue Million, with Gary back, you are likely to hear some songs from the original Blue
Million set lists
and definitely, the “Vibe” of Blue Million’s Rockin’ Blues. And
your first chance to see The next show

& Friends Golf Outing and Pig Roast . Blue Million will
be playing at the Toler’s house Friday evening . Come see Blue Million and
Bob Huggins on the same
stage !!! Blue Million took the stage at the Empty Glass right on time for
one short set. Time flies when you’re
having fun and the band was just getting warmed up and had to quit - it was a
good night, lots of good bands, solo acts, and it was for a good cause -
Juvenile Diabetes. Live music and good beer - Sometimes you just have to lean-back in
your chair with a draught Guinness and enjoy some slow blues in “A”. There’s no better place than the Empty Glass. Check out this
video on YouTube .
Empty Glass – Blue Million will take the stage for
one set during the Juvenile Diabetes
Benefit Concert. Check back for
more details when they become available. April 30,
2009 Bruno's
Blue Million has been working on lots of New Originals and getting the Blues
standard’s “revamped” to the band’s satisfaction. Alan is going back to his roots where it
all began as a teenager – playin’ the Blues
on an SG
electric guitar. You won’t be
disappointed if you like a mix of blues and originals about life from the
heart of the Southern Coalfields of West Virginia – and that is Boone County. Bruno's is a great venue if you
like an evening out for great food and great live music. Bruno’s is on the
corner opposite the Clay Center. You may recall the location as Chef Dan’s,
Top Cats, Blues BBQ, and O-Kay’s. Now
the team of Dan Barber and Jay Thomas are back at the site serving up great
ribs (as in Blues BBQ fame) and great pizza from an authentic pizza
oven. The restaurant is a good place
for a Friday evening dinner and then catching some live music. Blue Million is BACK. The well traveled Charleston bass player,
Kevin Kidd, has joined the band. You may recognize Kevin as a member of the The Spurgie Hankins Band and the Diablo Blues Band . Alan, Andy,
and Kevin are now in the Rehearsal
Room working out some kinks after an eight month layoff. Check back for the first show – Alan is
tinkering with his guitar and amp for that perfect Blues “edge” – don’t miss it. This
update brings the news that Jay Hill has left the band – it will take a
little time to find another bass player – in the meantime, Alan and
Andy will take a Short Intermission. Two
new Blue Million originals debuted
at the June 8 th, 19th
Hole show --
they will be archived and debuted with the future line-up -
Stay Tuned. For now, we’re posting a song
from one of the Greats in Rock-n-Roll Bo Diddley – R.I.P. December 30, 1928–June 2, 2008 -- Enjoy! June 8, 2008 Saturday Night at Clyde’s 19th Hole Alan
said “The Vibe” felt good from the stage
-- Watching the video, you
would have to agree, the crowd felt the same way.
