Main St. Edwardsville, Illinois

Then a small town
20 miles east of St. Louis.

Bear with me, I have to start at the beginning...

As we reconnected with the music of Levon Helm,

We wondered "What are these Midnight Rambles?"

                         

Well the best way at the time was to get the DVD's

Of the rambles at LevonHelm.com

These are a great view of Levon's recording studio living room.

They were masterfully created and worth adding to your collection.

They also introduced us to some very talented musicians,

Good people

With an adoration of Levon

And People

And Music.

I particularly enjoyed the concert by

Alexis P Suter and her band.

They blew me away.

Every musician,

No holding back,

Full, forceful, gentle, kind.

Loving, Sadness, Living, suffering, 

Powerful, Honest, and Vulnerable.

So I recently received a notice that Alexis P Suter has been

Nominated for the Prestigious Koko Taylor award

So well deserved.

All musicians must make their own way to Memphis.

I want to share my feelings that musicians make the world a better place

So please...

Please help Alexis get to Memphis May 7th, 2015
