[Harp-L] Re: Sugar Blue getting married/celebrating at Rosa's/will be at NAMM too

[EGS1217@xxxxxxx]

Just got my latest mailing from Sugar Blue - not only is he performing at  
NAMM on the 21st (1p.m. at the Hohner booth)(wow- going to be a fun Namm 
from  the names already listed), but is starting his West Coast tour and then 
will be  getting married to his bassist Ilaria Lantieri on February 16 and 
celebrating by  performing in Chicago at Rosa's lounge that same night at 
9P.M. :) 
 
 
The next day he'll be appearing at Buddy Guy's Legends to continue the  
'wedding weekend party' with Cash McCall. Tickets can be gotten in advance 
since  both events are likely to sell out early.
 
 
A new album - 'Raw Sugar Live' is coming out which he'll promote on the  
West Coast tour as well as a reissue of 'Some Girls' of his time with the 
Stones  including a ballad by Keith (Richards) with an intro of Sugar's 
harmonica. Stay  tuned, this guy gets better and better and is one of THE most 
intelligent  and nice people I've ever known. As is Ilaria for that matter.
 
Catch him when and if you can:

For blues lovers, he asks only that anyone interested in wedding gifts (me, 
 for example) to donate instead to Willie Dixon's Blues Heaven museum:
 
 
"A Donation to Blues Heaven
February 16, 2012 
Chicago, February 16, 2012 


Ilaria and I will be wed at Willie  Dixon's Blues Heaven, where Mrs. Marie 
Dixon has honored us by accepting to  stand as Ilaria's maid of honor.
As our wedding gift we  ask that you consider a donation to Blues Heaven so 
that it may continue  Willie's life long dedication to the  Blues. 
The museum will be  undergoing a major remodeling and fundraising is in  
progress. 
We thank you also on behalf of  Mrs. Dixon for helping us to preserve this 
great Chicago landmark, a hidden  treasure and a gem in the crown of this 
city's cultural contributions to the  world!
