I have been enjoying your music every since I was a young girl living at home. My mom use to listen on the old record albums the 33s. I still have the two steps from the blues on the old album. I also have all the ones that I bought when I became an adult. plus on dvd, i pod ect. I use to talk to Herman in the B.B.B band. I try to get to see the shows when they come to town. My friend Eveylyn is one of the biggest fans. My birthday and Bobbys is 3days apart. I missed the show this year but, I understand there was a big bash that was thrown for Bobby. I hope that everone had a nice time. Much love to Bobby and a belated happy happy birthday. From a long time fan in San Diego ca. Let me start out by saying we love you Mr. Blue Bland.

Elvis was the rage and I dug him-but on my first Elvis long play I fell in love with a song I never heard on the radio "So Glad Your Mine". Take a listen, you'll see that this English boy was hard-wired to appreciate the blues. Fast forward to the sixties, football player Willie Fleming had a short lived one hour spot on the local rock radio station-first song he played was "I Pity the Fool" by Bobby Blue Bland-I was hooked, and as good fortune would have it the Bobby Bland Revue arrived in Vancouver soon after-I became a fan for life, was even lucky enough to join Mr. Bland between shows in Toronto for an informal chat. I consider my life was changed forever by the music of Bobby Bland. When I was 11 my parents relocated from England to Canada.
