Man Chris and the GBJ gang did a stellar job of moving an entire festival in-doors at the last minute. The music, the organization and the extremely friendly atmosphere were fantastic. 
GREAT JOB! 

Thanks Jerry,

Subject: [Harp-L] Kim Wilson at the Greeley Blues Jam 

I'm the main stage manager for the Greeley Blues Jam & can answer one of 
the questions about Kim's rig. The pair of DeVille's were specifically 
requested by Kim's agent & were provided by Colin Bricker Sound, I believe they 
were bone stock. 

We had 1 1/2 days of POURING rain & had to move the 2nd day's activities 
into a large indoor event center next to the arena where Kim was going to 
play, I had so much to do because of the last minute venue change that I 
never thought about looking at the pedals he was using. Kim spoke to Nic 
"Cottonseed' Clark for a while & also to Nic's dad, he was a personable guy 
behind the scenes. His band mates were good guys too. 

Cottonseed played in our Youth Showcase on both days... WOW, that young 
man is the real deal! 

Some people stayed away thinking they would be soaked but we still had a 
big crowd. The semi-miraculous 'morning of' move indoors kept everyone warm 
& dry. The indoor venue is now the official rain location for all future 
years of the GBJ. 

The guy who won our free guitar donated to the Blue Star Connection, a 
charity which puts musical instruments into the hands of kids with cancer. 
Great day all around in spite of the rain!
