Sheila and I had a real treat Friday night at Albertina’s Midway Tavern.
First our long-time friend, Tom Moore and his brother David entertained with an acoustic session….David on guitar and Tom on harmonica and vocals. It was a CD release party for their new “TRICKERATION” album. In addition to the two of them…lots of our other musical friends are featured…Barrelhouse Chuck, Erwin Helfer, Brad Ber, George Bedard, Steve Nardella, Ricky Nye, Jonny Viau…and lots more guest artists.

The “main event” Friday was Cincinnati Boogie-Woogie Piano man, RICKY NYE. (We hadn't seen our buddy for a couple years...don't stay away so long, Ricky)
He was backed by his regular bass wizard Chris Douglas….and was joined by…direct from Paris France…Anthony Stelmaszack (vocalist and guitar man) and Simon “Shuffle” Boyer on drums….from the Paris Blues Band. That great band regularly backs up touring Americans while in Europe. They play traditional American style blues....and they are exceptional!
