With Paul is famed guitar slinger Terry Robb, so good that the Cascade Blues Association stopped giving him best guitarist award and named the damned thing after him. Plus, at his home in Victoria, British Columbia is former Portlander, winner of a bunch of Blues Maple Awards for best pianist, Paul deLay's last of the best piano players and boogie woogie master, David Vest. They have a new album of duets out called Criss Cross. And we're here to find out why and wherefore.

My dear friend Duffy Bishop is my guest on Episode #14 of Living A Vocal Life.Duffy and I have known each other for a long time — 20 years, or maybe even more. Offstage Duffy’s a bit of a homebody, a creative maker who’s always drawing, painting, and sewing. You notice her when she walks into a room not because she tries to draw attention to herself, but because of the way her eyes light up with love when she greets you.This quieter demeanor makes it easy to forget that the woman is an absolute powerhouse when she takes the stage. Her voice and presence are huge. You can’t help but be drawn into her every move, riveted by the raw emotion she transmits through the music she makes.Her humble nature belies the fact that she’s won a bevy of blues awards. She was named Best Female Vocalist and Entertainer of the Year by the Northwest Area Music Association and the Washington Blues Society. The Cascade Blues Association named her Best Female Vocalist for five consecutive years, eventually renaming the award “The Duffy Bishop Female Vocalist Award.” She’s a member of the Washington Blues Society Hall of Fame, the Cascade Blues Association Hall of Fame and the Oregon Hall of Fame.Duffy’s a lovely human being, and I’m so grateful for our friendship.I’m excited to share our conversation with you!Links:For full show notes, transcriptions of this episode, and more offerings for singers, you can visit my website HERE.You can find Duffy Bishop on her Website or on her Facebook page.The songs from today’s episode are called:Hey Linda from Fly The RocketYou Don’t Own Me from I’m Gonna Do What I Want Everyone’s Comin’ To A Party from The Queen’s Own BootlegI’m Gonna Do What I Want from I’m Gonna Do What I Want (All used with permission.)

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Johnny BurginJohnny Burgin earns his name as The Worldwide West Side Guitar Man  by performing up to 250 shows a year in Europe, Japan and coast to coast in the US.  Johnny started his career in the rough and tumble neighborhood blues joints on Chicago’s West Side with Howlin’ Wolf disciple Tail Dragger, and went on to tour and record with blues legends such as Pinetop Perkins, Sam Lay and Billy Boy Arnold.  He’s been praised by the Cascade Blues Association for his “stunning guitar playing– the pure Chicago styled sound”, and his fans love Johnny’s take on the intense, stripped-down “West Side sound” of Otis Rush, Magic Sam and Buddy Guy.  Johnny is a Delmark and Vizztone recording artist with 8 CDs to his credit.  He was nominated for a BMA for Best Traditional Blues CD of 2017 for “Howlin’ at Greaseland”, a Howlin’ Wolf tribute. Johnny Burgin,I Just Keep Loving Her (Mada Sukinanda),No Border BluesJohnny Burgin,Hurry Up Baby,No Border Blueswww.makingascene.org,Johnny Burgin,Johnny Burgin,One Day You're Gonna Get Lucky,No Border BluesJohnny Burgin,Sweet Home Osaka,No Border Blues 

Making a Scene presents an Interview with Rae Gordon! Rae began her singing career in the piano bars and comedy clubs of Los Angeles, where she honed her ability to relate to any audience – from a small wine bar with a few people sipping libations, to a big festival attended by thousands. Rae’s approachability and onstage charisma are as well-known as her multi-octave range. She has won the Cascade Blues Association’s Muddy Award for Best Female Vocalist five times, landing her in their Hall Of Fame. Her first recording, Blue Lemonade, hit #10 on the Billlboard Blues Chart; her second offering, Dirty Flowers, has enjoyed extensive airplay in the U.S. and beyond. In 2017 the Rae Gordon Band released its third recording, the award-winning Better Than I Was, produced by RGB guitarist Kivett Bednar and featuring songs co-written with RGB keyboardist and musical director Pat McDougall.

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

OMN’s Coffeeshop Conversations is back for our second week of what we hope to be a long run at our new home Catfish Lou’s at 2460 NW 24th Ave. It’s a real music club which won Muddy Awards for Best Venue from the Cascade Blues Association for the past two years. With me today is painter and photographer Diane Russell. You’ve seen her paintings and drawings of musicians all over town, including in here. And you’ve seen her photography on OMN for many years and we’re happy to be able to have her work on our pages. So we’ll be talking about a show she has up at the Art Bar as part of the 2019 Portland Jazz Festival and how she works and also about fighting it out in photographer scrums at concerts. Let’s meet Diane Russell.

Hi there. Yep, we’re in our new home for Coffeeshop Conversations, Catfish Lou’s, an actual music club. It’s at 2460 NW 24th Avenue and for the past two years it has won the Muddy Award for best venue from the Cascade Blues Association. And what better way to kick off what we hope is a nice long and happy run here than the great Blues guitarist/singer/composer/producer Terry Robb. He’s got a new album coming out called Confessin’ My Dues with some interesting new twists as well as the fine playing we have come to expect from Terry. We’ll find out about that and as usually happens with players like Terry, we’ll end up swapping stories and talking about great personalities. I think John Calahan may come up. Let’s talk with Terry.

Not to be defined by one style, Lorna B’s own personal art of music is a blend of Smooth, Standard, Improvisational Jazz, Soul, Blues and Pop arranged with a Jazz flare. Lorna's training started early at age 3 under the guidance of her father, one of Portland Oregon’s greatest jazz legends, composer & arranger for Billy Eckstine, pianist Warren Bracken . Her father’s contributions in Jazz, Bebop, and Blues as well as exposure to other jazz greats of the time, influenced her to start on her own musical journey. In her youth, her vocal strengths were noticed and led her to be selected as the only child of an all adult choir where she sang from age 12 to 18. Lorna moved out of state and later, out of country to Canada for 14 years. While there she worked on some music projects with other artists. Since returning to her home state of Oregon, her music projects were working with her group, the Lorna B Band playing Pop, Soul Funk & Blues. Lorna has now has come full circle and is showcasing her roots in Jazz, by way of her skills in her unique style and naturally seasoned vocal sound. Cascade Blues Association featured Lorna in the Blues Notes Magazine, March 2017. "The Lady Sings The Blues, and Jazz Too", http://cascadebluesassociation.org/lady-sings-blues-jazz/

November 1, 2016 Back in the cupping room at World Cup Coffee and Tea again for another in the endless series of OMN’s Coffeeshop Conversations. I’m Tom D’Antoni and with me today is the legendary and extremely celebrated Blues guitarist, composer and producer Terry Robb. He’s in the Oregon Music Hall of fame. He won the Cascade Blues Association’s Best Guitarist Muddy Award so many times, they had to stop their membership from nominating him any more and named the damned award after him. It’s always fun to catch up with Terry. I have the feeling we’re just going to sit here and bullshit about music, but first we’ll talk about Cool on the Bloom, his new album. We’ll hear a track from it, too.
