I am on the CBA Board as Secretary and an avid Blues fan. The description in this case of "avid" means enthusiastic in pursuit of an interest.". I am a strong supporter of keeping the blues alive and flowing. I volunteer on a local level in Portland and also go to Memphis for a couple of events sponsored by the Blues Foudation. I have also went to the Helena, Arkansas Festival for the past 5 yrs.
Hi Marc,
We had another steering committee meeting Sunday night and it went well. Thanks again for coming to our first one, it really helped us a lot. We hope to see you again if you happen to be in the area when we have a meeting, or at one of the jams. Are you home yet?
I thought for sure I had left a comment for you yesterday after the COBS meeting but it's not here! It could have disappeared, as the site suddeny went to "maintenance" while I was here yesterday.
I'm so glad you were at our meeting. It was a pleasant surprise and you were so informative and patient with our questions. Thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience and insight at our first COBS meeting last night. I'm pleased that we have formed a steering committee to really get the ball rolling. Your input was greatly appreciated and I hope all goes well for you in Memphis.
"Vaporware" is where we are right now. I learned that expression from a programmer friend - a lot of ideas, but not at the software stage yet!! Can we pick your brain occasionally? We are going to start trying to have monthly (?) meetings and will need to get a pres, v/p, sec, treasurer, etc. So many things - so little experience!
Welcome to COBS on the Web, Ms Taylor :)
Let me know if you need any help figuring out how to do the technical stuff here at NING ... it's a little different but has a lot of good features.
WELCOME - As you know we are in our infancy with this group. Plans for the spring include a genuine, official meeting (perhaps a board of directors?), battle of the bands, raffles, blues in the park - whatever!! Everything is a bit ephemeral right now (can you say "vaporware"?). Your input will be very valuable and, last but not least, GIT 'ER DONE!!!

Yes, I think giving Kevin the web site address is about the best idea. It's centorbluessociety.ning.com
Hope life is good and the only blues you have is MUSIC!
