All right, that's Terry Ray Bradley working on the crowd at Blues Fest

play a guitar instrumental and kicking us off we heard Da Fellas urging
everyone to get up and dance. We recorded these songs for Something Blue

performances. All Live, all new, and all for you on Something Blue.

All right, Suzanne Michell, from Little Rock, Arkansas with the George
Gershwin classic, "Summertime". Before that we heard Uncle Fred telling
us about them Hoover Hogs. Suzanne and Fred perform together and their
acoustic sets are always a nice change at Blues Fest.
Here's Suzanne Michell, again, singing "Blue Bayou" and "Come Back Baby".

And that's Suzanne Michell recorded live at Blues Fest 97. Suzanne has
developed a Jonesboro following from her frequent Blues Fest
performances and she has been featured on Something Blue many times.
Now here's a couple of Jazz standards recorded live at Blues Fest 97.
The band is called Hard Times and they're gonna give you "My Funny
Valentine" and "Lullaby of Birdland".
