Willie’s Wise Words By Willie Brown
Greetings Sacramento Blues Society (SBS) members and blues enthusiasts,
As you are probably aware, your SBS will be celebrating our 32nd year of existence this year at our annual "Membership & Hall of Fame" show! We are pleased to be inducting three worthy people and honoring their contribution to our blues heritage: Boogie Woogie great Dave “Omar Shariff” Alexander, Ms. Lena Mosley and “Big” Mike Balma. Congratulations to each one!
During our "Membership & Hall of Fame" show we will be concluding the SBS election process for the next term for positions on the board of directors. This event is absolutely FREE for membership, so bring your ballots (if you haven’t mailed them in already).
