2 MISSION Preserving Music by Preserving Musicians Dear Friends, 2007 was remarkable! Music Maker artists traveled to France, Germany, Argentina, Spain, Serbia and Turkey. In 2008 artists will perform in Australia, Tasmania, England, Holland, France, Germany and Spain. It is inspiring to receive support from people from so many cultures. Music truly brings people together. The Carolina Chocolate Drops continue on their amazing journey and have already hit the road, traveling the East Coast, Mid West, West Coast, and Alaska in January and February and then on to their first European tour. It is very exciting to witness such success and Music Maker having such dynamic ambassadors. Music Maker recording artist Dave McGrew flew out from Washington State to remodel our new offices in Hillsborough, NC. He completely stripped the inside. We are updating the electric, installing large windows, putting up sheet rock and a new floor. This will be an amazing space! We have a good size lot and in the near future we hope to construct our own performance venue for special events. The building has been a commercial site for over 100 years, starting as a store and was a drink house for the last 20 years. To celebrate The Carolina Chocolate Drops toured close to 200 shows, and were in Paste Magazine s Top 50 CDs, and became Music Maker s first established National Act! Cora Mae Bryant called the other night. She is now 82 and remains paralyzed from her stroke. She regained her ability to talk and is continually making ups new blues songs. She wanted to know when her next CD would be coming out (she has 2 more in already recorded). Cora Mae thanked all the people that support MMRF; she thanks God for the help MM sends her each month. Boo Hanks, Macavine Hayes and Eddie Kirkland are performing as the Music Maker Blues Revue on May 1st, at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Boo Hanks recorded his 1st CD and 1st public shows at 80 years of age. Drink Small checked in by phone on Jan 17th. He sends New Year s greetings to all and he played us his new song called Corn Bread, Collard Greens, Chit lins and Hog Maw. Drink Small says, Life longevity doesn t affect my creativity. I m trying to survive at 75. It s 2008 and I m trying to get it straight. He has a birthday celebration starting January 28th and he wants it to last all year long. Send greetings to: Drink Small 2926 Truman St, Columbia, SC Dixie Frog Records issues recordings of Music Maker Artists and makes top selling, award winning Blues Records with in France.

The Blues Music Foundation awarded MMRF a grant of $25,000 to compete a documentary film about the foundation and our artists. Look for a premiere in the late spring or early summer. our new home base we had our New Years Party in the building. Everyone had a terrific time! We are excited about our new center. The purchase of the building was made possible by a federal grant procured by NC Congressman David Price. MM used the grant for the down payment and took a loan for the rest and some more to make improvements. We will be raising funds in the coming years to pay for all of this and anyone who wishes to jump in and help us now, please feel free to donate or call and see how they can help. Amy Weaver, our Programs Coordinator of five years is leaving her post to work as the Membership Coordinator at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University. We are very proud that Amy can pursue her interest in Contemporary Art. She has been a trusted friend to so many artists and helped them through times of crisis. True to her utmost dedication to our mission, she recruited Mark Coltrain, a terrific person with tremendous qualifications to carry on her work. Mark was an intern here at Music Maker during his undergraduate studies at UNC Greensboro. He pursued his love of Southern music with an MA degree in Southern Studies at Ole Miss, where he also worked for Living Blues Magazine. While in Mississippi, he continued Music Maker Notes Highlights of 2007 We celebrated New Years at the new Music Maker building in Hillsborough, NC.

3 Reviews by: Richard Marcus from blogcritcs.com Various Music Maker Relief Foundation Performers Blues, Sweet Blues This year [MMRF came] out with Blues; Sweet Blues, a two disc set that features the talents of those who have been recorded and are still recording with the Music Maker Fund. Unfortunately, the only reason most people stop recording with Music Maker is that they have passed on or their health has failed them. But, while people like Guitar Gabriel, Etta Baker, and a few others are no longer around we at least have their music to remind us of what they meant to the world. I ve raved about the voice of Captain Luke on other occasions, but that s not going to stop me from doing it again. It s just so rare to hear a pure baritone anymore that hearing him sing for the first time can stop you cold.tim Duffy once described how Captain Luke came out on stage in Argentina, in front of thousands of people, and the second he began singing you could hear a pin drop. Sitting on stage in his chair with just a single guitar for accompaniment, this deceptively frail looking elderly gentleman opens his mouth and something amazing happens.with seemingly no effort on his part at all the room fills with the sound of a lush summer twilight as the sky turns that particular shade of dark sapphire blue. Captain Luke s is easily the most amazing sounding voice I ve heard in ages. Of course, he s not the only one on the discs, but he certainly is a highlight. He s joined on the first song, Let The Good Times Roll, by Willa Mae Buckner, and the late Cooties Stark, and the second song he goes it solo on One Of These Days. Then there s Drink Small singing his creation President Clinton Blues who s followed by...if I m not careful I ll just end up naming all the songs on both discs. Every one of them are important and good for their own reasons, but I guess you ll just have to follow the link above to the Music Maker s site and buy yourself a copy if you want to hear how good the are. Tim Duffy and Denise Duffy might not have had any real idea of what they wanted to do initially aside from helping out some musicians who they liked and believed deserved better hands then what fate had dealt them. However, it s almost like the music was waiting for someone to come along and take an interest. The overwhelmingly positive response from audiences all over the world is proof of that. The Music Makers Foundation has done all of us a valuable service not just he artists it represents. Without Tim and Denise Duffy the world would have missed out on some truly amazing music and performers. If you have a few extra dollars this year you might want to consider sending it their way. There s always more they can be doing to help somebody out, and new music to be recorded as well.

She is the seventh generation of successive families of seven sisters; all of who are singers.

4 Turkish Daily NewsDecember 8-9 Culture and Arts Weekend, December 8-9, 2007 The 18th Efs Pilsend Blues Festival, which aims to reach smaller cities in Turkey, comes to an end after a month. The jazz artists John Primer, Adolphus Bell and Bernard Allison enjoyed and admired the big audiences. The 18th Efes Pilsen Blues Festival, which has taken international blues veterans on a tour all over Turkey since Nov. 2, ends this week with final concerts in Istanbul and Tekirdag. The festival, whose mission is to brighten and jazz up the smaller cities of Turkey, began with a performance in Samsun. It also aims to tour blues bertans around the country. This year s festival featured jazz artists John Primer, Adolphus Bell and Bernard Allison. Giving audiences a taste of the glorious history of blues, Luther Guitar Junior Johnson, Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Guitar Shorty and Joe Louis Walker were among the ones to tour with the festival in the last 18 years. This year s opening act was no exception to the festival s reputation. Adolphus Bell, 63, calls himself a one-man band. I am 63 and I am ready to go, said Bell, adding, this music thing is no joke. You have got to dedicate yourself to it or leave it along. I have dedicated my life to it. It is my life. It is my gift. After Bell s admirable performance, John Primer took stage with his rocking tunes. A master storyteller and songwriter, his oeuvre is endless. Bernard Allison, son of the famous Luther Allison, followed primer. Allison, former guitarist of the legendary Muddy Waters, started playing jazz in his high school jazz band and now has a blues band called, The Real Deal Blues Band. The Blues is my roots. Regardless of how far outside of the blues I reach for tones, I can t ever leave the blues. Whenever I play, all those guitar parts are Luther Allison coming through me. My dad was the same way; he wasn t all blues. HE loved Otis Redding and Chuck Berry, said Allison. The audience in Turkey is one of the best ones I have ever experienced, Allison said at a conference at Bogazici University, adding that Turkish people are open to all kinds of music. The Efes Pilsen Blues Festival is the best blues festival on earth, said Allison after a short performance with Primer and Bell. The Blues train was caught in many cities now the sound of this sorrowful but entertaining music has come to Istanbul. The first performance of the three legendary blues artists was Friday, and Saturday they will perform at the Lutfi Kirdar International Congress and Exhibition Center. The concerts starts at 7:30 p.m. Adolphus Bell tours Turkey The festival visited Trabzon, Erzurum, Kibris, Antalya, Denizli, Konya, Kayseri, Mersin, Adana, Gaziantep, Diyarbakir, Ankara, Eskisehir, Bursa, Izmir, Çanakkale, and Kocaeli since Nov. 2. After concerts in Istanbul, the festival will end Dec. 11 at Tekirdag s Erguvan Social Facilities. Ask Amy Do you have a question for Music Maker? Ask us at info@musicmaker.org. I was looking over your website, and was excited to see all the new artists up on your artist roster page. While I was listening to MP3s I discovered a great artist by the name of Dr. G.B. Burt. Can you tell me more about him? Adolphus Bell had been living in a van for 15 years when he joined Music Maker. He now has his own apartment and tours the world. Brandon Miranda 6th Annual Fishin Blues Festival SOLD OUT!!! February 10th-16th, 2008, Playa Zancudo, Costa Rica -Crystal Fox, Aberdeen, NC Thanks so much for your interest, Crystal. Dr. G.B. Burt is a great bluesman out of Birmingham, Alabama. Tim Duffy recalls, Adolphus Bell introduced me to Dr. G.B. Burt and handed me a press photo and a cassette of his music. Upon putting it on and listening I was stunned by the deep blues of his guitar playing and his heart felt vocals. Hearing this music again I realized how many great unheard blues artists are alive today. Dr. Burt was born in Birmingham, Alabama. He comes from a musical family, and grew up with his mother playing the piano and singing gospel songs: his father and uncles were all blues guitar players, he s been playing the blues every since his teens. Dr. G.B. Burt states: The blues is my life, to tell you the truth. It is what I have lived and what I have seen. It is real life. Love, rejected love. There is happy blues, sad blues, it is just the life. It is what I am about. I put them in my songs and music. I look at things whatever is going on and sing about it. I have been playing for a long time, I laid my guitars down for five years. I started looking at my five boys and something told me that I had to show them about this music. Now I got my boys trained and they are good. They are working getting their music together. My grandbaby s now are into the music. We are all working for the music. I believe this music is important. When folks hear my music they know it is me. I sing how I feel. I do not sing about violence. I sing about love. I do everything I can do to sing about good things. It comes out alright. I am looking forward, to get my name in the record book, and do what I can do to help my sons and my family. I want the audiences to know who I am. I want to put my stamp on this music, get my name in the book, so people remember who I am. Dr. G.W. Burt, deep blues artist from Birmingham. G. Roth Music Maker is excited about meeting Dr. G.B. Burt and traveling with him to Australia to play the East Coast Blues and Music Festival in Byron Bay Festival and Southern Roots Tasmania. Dr. G.B.

8 Support Music Maker: Your membership will help Boo Hanks get a new home 80-year-old Book Hanks lives in a decrepit 1950s mobile home with no running water on the side of a rural highway in Buffalo Junction, Virginia. He grew up farming and to make ends meet he spent last summer driving a tractor in the tobacco fields during a record heat wave. Boo does not complain, he will tell you he likes to work and if not for his bad knee and worn out hands he would work more. January 2007 Music Maker recorded Boo for the first time in his life. Blues critics around the world have heralded this CD and all seem to agree that Boo is the purest and finest purveyor of Blind Boy Fuller Piedmont style blues alive. Boo was so excited about his new recording that he was selling the CDs we grant him in his neighborhood before we could even get the artwork printed. Soon after, Boo started playing local gigs, augmenting both his income and stature in his community. This December Boo recorded another CD of new songs with the help of his newfound friend Dom Flemons of the Carolina Chocolate Drops. Boo just sat down and performed 14 songs one after another, all of them perfectly and the record was made in less than two hours. Dom was awe-struck, knowing he just witnessed the work of a master. Boo just loves Dom, he is so proud that a young black musician loves his music and can play harp, jug and guitar behind him so well. It is wintertime and tractor work is done for the season. Dom and I encourage Boo to go ahead and get a passport so he can fly to France where Music Maker can arrange performances. Boo has never been on a plane and even after much consideration he s still not sure. He asks all kind of questions about the airport, who will travel with him, where he will stay, Boo, does not want to be alone. We assure him that he should enjoy himself, see the world and we will stick right by his side. Boo now has a passport and we are pursuing gigs for him in Europe. Boo has decided to travel and will be flying for the first time on May 1st where he will be performing at the prestigious New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Boo still is living in an old trailer with rotting wiring heated by a kerosene heater, a very dangerous way to live. Boo does not want to move into the housing projects. The farmer he works for has offered him a place to put a trailer that already has electric and septic hook ups. Boo has found a decent used trailer to move to this spot. The Jazz Foundation has committed a significant sum to procuring this trailer and moving it to the new lot. We are asking donors to help contribute to Music Maker so we can match their funds so Boo will have a safe place to live.
