RIP Pinetop Perkins, and TFOB Redux.

Copyright © 2011 Bob R Bogle

Today Pinetop Perkins died.  Read the story here:  http://hosted2.ap.org/APDefault/*/Article_2011-03-21-Obit-Pinetop%20Perkins/id-9d73f4ebabda42eaaaf6b3ecba44fac0  I've posted links to "Pinetop's Blues," as well as several other tunes connected to Memphis Blues Again in one way or another, on the Music page.  Check 'em out.
I'm getting closer to uploading the opening scene from the novel, but some other responsibilities are causing a slight delay.
Last weekend I attended the third annual Tucson Festival of Books.  Two of the lectures I attended in particular are of special interest to writers, I think.  These are called "Sharpen Your Dialog Using Theater Techniques" and "Future of Publishing."  Sound recordings of these sessions may be found here:  http://vimeo.com/user5849723/videos
More to come in a few days. . . .
