The Robert Ross Band

 

LAST WEEKEND: THE CHENANGO TANGO

The Chenango Blues Festival was an incredible ride. The crowds were highly receptive and respectful of all the artists. The town is lovely. The organizers could not have been nicer. Jerron "Blind Boy" Paxton hit it right out of the park. He sang and played old time country, blues, and ragtime on banjo, guitar, fiddle, and harmonica. The crowd loved him. I got an encore myself. I felt the love too. I sang and played guitar, slide guitar and harmonica. We had a ball. Thank you to Eric Larsen and the entire Chenango Festival staff and especially to my good buddy Steve Fugett of Road Warrior for making this happen. 

I'll be in Arizona for 10 days. When I come back .....
