Sonny Burgess and The Legendary Pacers at Bluesday Tuesday on December 13, 2011   Sonny Burgess KASU Bluesday Tuesday closed 2011 with a great show by Sonny Burgess and The Legendary Pacers. These guys invented Rock and Roll and recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis in the fifties. Since then they have been rocking around the world touring overseas every year. Sonny Burgess - guitar and vocals Jim Aldridge - sax, harmonica, and vocals Kern Kennedy - piano Fred Douglas - bass and vocals Bobby Crafford - drums and vocals What a band. What a night. The Newport Country Club was a hopping and a bopping. On the last song I looked across the room and nobody was sitting down. Everyone was out on the dance floor. Photos by Larry Heyl
