BLUES AWARDS - STILL TIME TO VOTE!

Paul Rishell & Annie Raines have received 2 nomination for the Blues
Foundation's Blues Music Awards this year, for Acoustic Blues Artist of the
Year and in the DVD category for "A Night in Woodstock."  The awards
ceremony will be held in Memphis in early May.  Only members of the Blues
Foundation can vote, but it's very easy to join, relatively inexpensive and
benefits some great causes.  You also get to vote for your favorite blues
artists.  Read more about it at www.blues.org.  Voting closes March 1.

BLUES CRUISE VIDEO JOURNAL - Germophobia, hurricanes, a visit to the "puppy
farm" and more!

The Blues Cruise was incredible, the best gig on the planet, though we had
to cross half the planet to get there.  We did some filming on our 5000-mile
land and sea journey.  Check out our pre-cruise chronicles at
www.youtube.com/paulandannie - And stay tuned for our search for Paul's
roots on Aruba, to be posted soon.

Our best wishes go out to our friends in the Mid-Atlantic States who are
still digging out from multiple record-setting snowstorms.  You've been
remarkably stoic compared with us hardy New Englanders!  We know the South
will be even more beautiful when we go back in April for a fill-up at
Fuller's Old Fashion BBQ in Fayetteville, NC.  Keep an eye out for more
restaurant reviews, musings and show updates at http://www.paulandannie.com

Stay warm, y'all,

Annie and Paul
