Podcasts about blues alive award

- Guest Host: Dieter Sigrist - Mark Stenzler calls in from Memphis to celebrate receiving the Keeping the Blues Alive Award 2024 from The Blues Foundation

On Episode 20 of Marti’s Music Kitchen, the fun and music podcast where anything can happen, we team up with newlyweds and Portland’s power couple in the Blues scene, Greg Slim Lively Johnson and Cherie Johnson. Greg is President of the Cascade Blues Association and 2016 recipient of The Blues Foundation’s “Keeping the Blues Alive” Award. He is also a respected photographer, capturing the music he loves behind the lens. In 2015, he contributed to a fabulous book of photographs (Jenn Ocken) and memories (Greg), Blues on Beale Street: Memoirs of the International Blues Challenge. It “is a love letter told in photographs, accompanied by a series of written experiences, short stories, song lyrics, and thoughts from a variety of attendees and participants in the International Blues Challenge, an annual event sponsored by The Blues Foundation in Memphis.” Cherie is curator of Cherie’s Blues Highway, music promoter, and international travel consultant. Inspired by a recent trip to Italy, Cherie shows us how quick and easy it is to make homemade pasta which we use for her famous Pasta Carbonara, a recipe that her new hubby loves! Come travel with us and find out how a shared love affair with the Blues led to a life together that has them traveling throughout Portland’s music scene and beyond. https://www.facebook.com/greg.s.johnson.9 WWW.CASCADEBLUESASSOCIATION.ORG https://www.facebook.com/groups/cascadebluesassociation/ MartiMendenhall.com Patreon.com/MartiMendenhall Pasta Ingredients: 2 1/2 c. all purpose flour 2 1/2 c. semolina flour 7 eggs Directions: Sift flour. Make a well in middle, add eggs and gently mix into flour until incorporated. Place on floured surface and knead 7-8 minutes. Let dough rest then divide into portions to put through a pasta maker or hand roll into desired noodles (You can put in a Kitchenaid mixer instead of hand kneading). Pasta Carbonara Ingredients: One pound pasta 1 egg 1 ⁄2 cup half and half cream sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste 12 slices pancetta or 12 slices smoked streaky bacon 1 cup fresh peas or 1 cup frozen peas 2 sprigs of fresh mint, leaves picked and finely sliced freshly grated parmesan cheese Directions: Bring a large pan of salted water to boil. Add pasta and cook al dente. Whisk the egg in a bowl with the cream, salt and pepper. Put the pancetta or bacon into a second pan and cook until crispy and golden. When pasta is nearly cooked, add the peas for the last minute and a half. This way they will burst in your mouth and be lovely and sweet. When cooked, drain in a colander, saving a little of the pasta cooking water. Add the pasta to the pancetta and stir in most of the mint, finely sliced - if the pan isn't big enough, mix it all together in a large warmed bowl. Now add the egg and cream mix to the pasta. It's important to add it while the pasta is still hot so it will cook the egg but not so that they resemble scrambled eggs but makes the sauce silky and smooth. Toss together and loosen with a little of the reserved cooking water if necessary. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with the Parmesan and the rest of the mint leaves, and serve. #GregSlimLivelyJohnson #CherieJohnson #CascadeBluesAssociation #CheriesBluesHighway #Blues #PdxMusic

Paul Nelson is well known to the Blues community as the protégé, award winning producer, guitarist and featured artist for the Johnny Winter band. Paul was instrumental in helping Johnny Winter kick his longtime drug and alcohol addiction during the last years of his life. As the executive producer for several Johnny Winter albums, Paul was nominated for a Grammy-award for “I’m a Bluesman,” “Roots,” and won in 2015 for “Step Back.” Paul was inducted into the New York Blues Hall of Fame and won a ‘Keeping the Blues Alive Award’ from the Blues Foundation in Memphis for his many contributions to the Blues industry. Paul studied guitar with the legendary Steve Vai and attended Boston’s famed Berklee College of Music. Paul’s latest chapter starts on the new album, “Badass Generation” released by Sony Music Group and features singer Morten Fredheim (NBC’s franchise The Voice finalist) on 12 Rock-Blues tracks that have a classic rock sound.

Good luck next week!! Black-Eyed News: I thought this was kind of funny; If Neko Case asks you to stop taking pictures with your smartphone while she’s playing, you listen to her. Otherwise, she’ll make things very tense and awkward. That’s exactly what happened to a crowd in Cincinnati who drew the alt-country singer/songwriter’s wrath after she repeatedly asked them to not take videos or photos while she was performing. Case reportedly became surly with the crowd, while several attendees stormed out or pointed some obscene gestures towards Case. Some fans have taken to the Internet to complain about Case’s attitude, but the singer has remained silent on the incident since the show ended. e-more@elmoremagazine.com The Who’s workload will be considerably lighter after 2015. The band have planned an extensive tour for that year, which marks their 50th anniversary as a group, but Pete Townshend has claimed that their Silver Anniversary tour will also be their last. Bandmate Roger Daltrey agreed with Townshend’s decision, saying that the realities of undertaking massive tours have become more and more problematic as the two have gotten older. This will not spell the end of The Who as a whole, though; Daltrey has gone on record as saying that the band will continue to work as a recording unit after their final tour. e-more@elmoremagazine.com Keeping the Blues Alive Award Recipients Announced Congratulations to the 2014 Keeping the Blues Alive Award recipients: Affiliated Organization: Crossroads Blues Society of Illinois - Rockford, Illinois Art: Cristen Craven Barnard - Senatobia, Mississippi Club: Kingston Mines - Chicago, Illinois Education: Tas Cru - Chaumont, New York Festival (International): Cazorla Blues Festival - Cazorla, Spain Festival (U.S.): Mississippi Valley Blues Festival - Davenport, Iowa Film, Television and Video: Stefan Grossman - Sparta, New Jersey Historical Preservation: George Mitchell - Fort Myers, Florida International: The Royal Mail Hotel - Goodna, Queensland, Australia Journalism: Gene Tomko - Lafayette, Louisiana Literature: Gerard Herzhaft - Lyon, France Manager: Marcia Weaver - Jackson, Mississippi Photography: Dick Waterman - Oxford, Mississippi Producer: Tom Hambridge - Nashville, Tennessee Promoter: Myron Mu - San Francisco, California Publicist: Frank Roszak - North Hills, California Radio (Commercial): Jerry Schaefer - East Islip, New York Radio (Public): Larry Lisk - St. Petersburg, Florida Record Label: Stony Plain Records - Edmonton, Alberta Special Committee Award: Blue Star Connection - Winter Park, Colorado The Blues Foundation will honor these 20 individuals and organizations during a recognition luncheon Friday, January 24, 2014, at the Downtown Memphis Doubletree.
