Profile Information
- About Me:
- Blues Foundation's 1998 "Keeping The Blues Alive" award recipient for achievement in blues education.
2004 Iowa Blues Hall of Fame inductee
"Herman plays with a sensitive, reflective touch that continually draws attention to his vocals, which are effectively understated and free of affectation... Herman can rock with the best of them. A solid choice for fans of traditional acoustic blues." - Living Blues Magazine
"One of America's finest acoustic guitarists and blues educators." - Cascade Blues Association
"...an uncanny grasp of so many different Blues styles." - Holler, Colorado Blues Society
"Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, and Muddy Waters were giants of the genre he grew up listening to and who live on through the evocative, haunting acoustic slide-guitar style he plays." - The Reporter, San Diego, CA
"...plays haunting music on a mournful guitar." - Los Angeles Times
"...plays a powerful variety of hard-driving acoustic blues, a crowd pleaser." - Mississippi Valley Blues News
"...a mean, clean guitar picker." - San Francisco Examiner
"The only thing better than hearing this live album is seeing Hawkeye Herman in the flesh. Whether adding his own spin to blues classics or offering his own songs, Herman is a one-man history of blues, noteworthy guitar player and inimitable communicator. Miss him at your peril." - Blues Access
"Each song is presented with a heartfelt depth rarely witnessed these days amongst all the amplifiers and studio embellishments... Throughout "Blues Alive!," Herman proves to be a seasoned storyteller above all, as well as an accomplished guitarist." - Blues Revue Magazine
"Playing both fingerpick and slide guitar, Herman's licks are clean, yet spare..., his vocals are direct and straightforward, but full of emotion... he has immersed himself in the sound and feeling and has emerged as one of the most widely respected acoustic blues musicians around... Blues Alive! ain't electric, doesn't have drums and such, wasn't produced in a high-tech studio, but it's about as real as the blues gets." - Sing Out!

Just wanted to let you know that Cliff was able to reformat the "How To Set Up A Blues Society" into a document text so I was able to read it (my Adobe Reader is fouled up on my machine and won't open). I visited the Robert's Rules web site, and found a used copy of a book at Amazon and ordered it today.
1 "Robert's Rules in Plain English: A Readable, Authoritative, Easy-to-Use Guide to Running Meetings, 2nd Edition"
Doris P. Zimmerman; Paperback; $3.92
Our first meeting is scheduled for March 16 so I should receive it and have time to check it out a bit before that.
Thanks for your help :)
