I'm marv flemmings, suncoast blues society, ent. chairman
i would have to say my first visit to the IBC competition, on behalf of the suncoast blues society, (based in the tampa bay area, i'm the ent. chairman). this trip was one of the great high lights of my life. it was a great opportunity to see some of the best up and coming talent in the blues geme. i rate this trip to the one i made to the berlin wall, where i wrote my name along with others that were written there. i'd like to think mark goodman, who is one of the founding members of the blues foundation for his guidence in showing me around and introducing me to some of the giants in blues music and most of all for his kindness. mark you're the man! lol anyway, it was a great International Blues Chellange. it was like being in a blues candy shop! awsome!!!
