Light Painting and Night Photography Course
July 8 & 9 (& 10) Painting the Night with guest instructor Trevor Williams
$150 or ¥12,500
Come join me for two nights of fun and photography. I would like to introduce the magic of light painting and night photography. The first night we will be covering long exposure and night photography essentials. Learn how to make an image rather than take an image. Use time and light to build up your picture from a black canvas in to exactly what you envisioned.
You'll then be prepared for the second night which will focus on light painting and other creative techniques. I will reveal some of my secrets and show you step by step how to create amazing light paintings. You'll also learn how to make custom tools and use them creatively.
Light painting and night photography has a certain magic about it. When the shutter closes you will find your self running back to the camera to see what you have captured. Friends and family will be stunned by the images you've been able to create. After the weekend you'll have the knowledge and skills to go out and start painting Okinawa with light.
Trevor Williams
Dates: The two night course is scheduled to take place on the evenings of July 8th and 9th. July 10th is a backup day in case of rain on both the 8th and 9th. In the event of a typhoon leading to a base lockdown the course will be rescheduled. The course will take place in central Okinawa (Yomitan / Uruma City).
Booking: The course is limited to 12 students. To reserve a place send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com (please write WORKSHOP RESERVATION on the subject line) A 50 dollar deposit is required to book a place on the course. I'll send a paypal request for the deposit to those who are booking the course.
Requirements: At a minimum you'll need a DSLR and a tripod. We'd highly recommend a cable release or a remote also. If you have a hotshoe flash and or flashlights bring these along also.
You'll get the most out of the course if you already confident manually selecting aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. If you're new to photography and not sure about this, I'll be running Photography 101 workshops on the weekends of June 25&26 and July 2&3.

Oh the perfect Saturday. I have slept at my boyfriend's tonight which was great. Than we had lunch at my house with my family and now I am trying to go in the study mode, but I haven't succeed so far. Today is the perfect day for sweatpants, my boyfriend's jumper/cardigan and TV series (The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars), because it has been raining since morning. So I'm just going to wrap myself in the blanket and watch series. Is there anything better than this? Noup, it isn't :)

To download DRM-protected ebooks to your computer and transfer them to compatible ereaders, you'll need to install and authorize Adobe Digital Editions (ADE).
To download the same ebooks to additional computers or devices, be sure to authorize each one with the same OverDrive account or Adobe ID. You can authorize up to six devices with one account.
If you plan to use ADE and the OverDrive app, we encourage you to use your OverDrive account to authorize ADE. That way, you won't run into authorization issues when you download the same ebooks on your mobile device and on your computer.
Use the steps below to authorize ADE.
- If you aren't prompted to authorize ADE the first time you open it, go to Help > Authorize Computer.
- Select OverDrive (recommended) or Adobe ID from the eBook Vendor drop-down menu.
- Enter your email address (or Adobe ID) and password, then select Authorize.
Note: You won't be able to authorize ADE with an OverDrive account that was created using a library card or Facebook.
You'll need to clear your current ADE authorization if you want to authorize your computer with a different OverDrive account or Adobe ID.
Sometimes, clearing your authorization can fix transfer or download trouble as well.
Note When you clear your authorization, any ebooks you previously downloaded to ADE will no longer work, because they're tied to the authorization you used to download them.
Use the steps below to deauthorize ADE.
- Open ADE.
- Press Ctrl + Shift + D on a Windows computer or Command + Shift + D on a Mac.
- Make sure the correct account is listed in the drop-down menu, enter your password, then click Continue.

Covering parenting and child development issues
Anyone who has known me for more than about a minute and half knows that I'm a Jersey girl. I left home to come to Pennsylvania for college more than thirty years ago, however, and never went home again. It wasn't the way I planned it, and though I love my life in Pennsylvania, I will always be a Jersey girl.
Not surprisingly, my parents are both Jersey-born-and-raised as well. Over the past couple of years, we've tried, without success, to convince them to come to Pennsylvania. Aging process aside, they're in good health and good spirits, still independent and both possessing a trait they've passed on to me in abundance -- stubbornness -- so you can probably guess how well we're faring in our quest to bring them closer to us.
It's not that I don't understand. Their lives are in New Jersey -- my aunt and uncle, my parents' friends and, of increasing importance, their doctors. They've never lived anywhere else, and despite the fact that we're only separated by a couple of hours and a little over a hundred miles, a move would uproot them permanently, separating them from all they've ever known, asking them to start a whole new life at a time when they're still enjoying the old one.
So I've tried not to push too hard. I bring it up from time to time, mostly with my mom, who's more ready for a change than my dad is. We even looked at one community, and they were more impressed than any of us expected them to be.
But it wasn't home.
Last week, my mom fell and shattered her shoulder. As I write this, she's in the hospital, recuperating from shoulder replacement surgery. Though the marvels of modern technology have enabled us to stay in touch with my dad throughout the process, I'm too far away to just drop by and see how they're doing. I've been able to keep my schedule open to make the trip at a moment's notice, but Mom's not yet ready for visitors who stay for more than a short time. And so we remain separated by miles paved with questions and concerns, as I come to terms with the fact that I have joined the sandwich generation.
I'm lucky. I have more flexibility than many of my friends in similar circumstances, and I have just one child, a teenager old enough to understand the tug on my heart, at least as well as anyone who hasn't experienced it can. My husband, too, "gets it," and is patient with me as I work through feelings of helplessness exacerbated by distance.
Despite the frustrations of separation, I know two things: I am not alone and I am blessed. To have family, regardless of where they are, is something to be grateful for, and to have family that's dispersed allows me to keep a foot in childhood via my family of origin and a foot in adulthood via the family I've created. My parents gave me wings, and so I flew. Not everyone is so fortunate.
I only wish those wings had the power to bring me home on a moment's notice.

Two New TEAM Scholarship Awards Unveiled
June 23, 2011 | Chicago, IL
By Angélica Herrera
When TEAM launched in 1984, Erie supporters Carolyn Lang, Jack O'Kieffe, Glen F. and Elizabeth S. Graham knew that youth who completed the program would need support to continue their education through their college years. Over two decades later, their shared vision lies in the hearts and minds of Erie youth who have benefitted from their kindness and who are creating vibrant futures.
Through our HSBC TEAM Scholarship Fund, Erie is able to award graduating seniors a college scholarship. Scholarships range from $500 to $2,500 and are awarded to seniors based on grade point average, TEAM involvement, financial need, and hours dedicated to volunteer service and self-development. The Scholarship Fund and its several awards are strengthened by a number of thoughtful donors – like you - each year.
This year, Erie House is proud to announce two new memorial scholarships. The first scholarship is the Casimir C. Petraitis Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship memorializes Dr. Casimir Petraitis by being awarded to a student who is interested in learning about other cultures, languages, and the greater world around them. This scholarship will be awarded to a student who is investing in the spirit of globalism throughout their college career.
Casimir C. Petraitis Memorial Scholarship Award - Esmeralda Tenorio, John Cabot University (Rome, Italy)
The second scholarship is the "Ruben Delgado" youth scholarship. This scholarship was created and funded by a generous individual in memory of Senator William Delgado's son, Ruben Delgado, who passed away in June of last year. Ruben Delgado was a dedicated teacher and educator at Morton East High School. This scholarship will be awarded to a Erie House TEAM high school graduate interested in pursuing a career in education. It may also support undocumented youth, who are unable to access financial support to be able to continue pursue higher education.
Ruben Delgado Future Educator Scholarship Award - Stephanie Zavala, Dominican University
Erie House's Marjorie W. Lundy Future Leader Award and the Jaime Esparza Future Leader Award recognize an outstanding young woman and an outstanding young man for demonstrating leadership ability within their school and their community. In addition to high academic ranking, the recipients demonstrate an ability to interact with a variety of people, provide positive role models for peers, and are involved in numerous community and school-based activities. The awards are named on behalf of Marjorie Lundy, the former Vice President of Community Affairs for The Northern Trust Company and one of TEAM's founding partners, and in memory of Jaime Esparza, a dedicated community leader, an advocate for Latino advancement, and a cherished friend of Erie House.
Marjorie Lundy Future Leader Award - Analaura Osorio, University of Iowa
Jamie Esparza Future Leader Award - Rolando Gonzalez, Northeastern Illinois University
The Rafael Ravelo "Corazón de Oro" Award is given to one TEAM graduate who has demonstrated an impressive level of involvement in his or her school, at Erie House, or in other community endeavors. Volunteerism, community work, and a "heart of gold" define the person who receives this award.
The award is named for Erie's former executive director and current senior advisor, Rafael Ravelo, who embodies these traits and who, for many years, has been part of important initiatives that bring people together and support community growth and development.
Rafael Ravelo Corazón de Oro Award - Bridgette Williams, Millikin University
The Glen F. and Elizabeth S. Graham Academic Excellence Award is awarded to one TEAM graduate who has consistently displayed a commitment to academic excellence and has achieved the highest academic ranking. The award symbolizes Glen and Betty's commitment to education and their belief that education is critical to supporting our youth and their future.
Glen F. and Betty S. Graham Academic Excellence Award - Susana Santoyo, National Louis University
Erie House congratulates TEAM seniors for their hard work and accomplishments!

All guilds are different. They have different goals and ways of operating. My recent free agency and guildlessness (and talking the whole situation over with my friends) got me thinking a lot about guilds. Who they are, what they're like, their rules, and most importantly, how I would fit in with those aspects. I had to sit down and think about what was important to me, really, and what I'm looking for in a guild.
In any MMO, your guild is like your family. When I played WoW I was only in two guilds, and I was with both of those for at least a year each. Guilds allow you to get you to know your peers and form relationships with the people you spend some serious time with. I'm still very close with quite a few people from my WoW days. Guildmates share your triumphs and tribulations in game and outside of, and become your confidants and even significant others. You spend hours of time with them, sometimes doing things and sometimes not. Hell, I've even sat in Mumble with 3-4 guildmates and watched Game of Thrones with them. So, if a guild is the MMO family you get to pick, what are the deciding factors when finding your virtual home?
Your guild helps define you in the MMO universe. That tag under your name lets others know who you are, what you do, and how serious you are about it. There are many types of guilds; PvE, PvP, RP, and some who do a combination . Some guilds focus on leveling mostly, and there are casual guilds and hardcore guilds for both PvE and PvP. What your guild does reflects what you want to do as a player and is probably the most important aspect of deciding on a guild. I look for hardcore guilds that do PvE but with players who enjoy competitive PvP. Usually these guilds have some sort of application process and gear or experience requirements. Leveling guilds are good for players who like to make alts and experience the story of the game. Usually the leveling guilds have an open recruitment and many members so it's easy to find someone to play with. Casual guilds are good for people who like to play without a lot of pressure or massive time commitments but want to do Elder game or organized events.
The personality of the guild is also important, how social a guild is, what the general attitude is, and how they conduct themselves. I prefer a talkative guild where people like to do random things together. I also need an "adult" guild because I can't be bothered not to swear. I'm ok with a little trolling as well, but I do prefer a little more maturity. I don't particularly mind trolls, but that could be because I tend to be one every once in a while. While I am pretty hardcore, I do like a casual, fun attitude. People who know when to be serious and when to be silly. Mostly, people need to get along and for there not to be "cliques". I'm always accused of this, but I swear I don't do it on purpose. I just usually get friendly with the people who like to PvP and end up spending a lot of time with them.
There is also the way a guild operates to take into consideration. Uncomplicated hierarchies and a clear chain of command is always important, knowing who is in charge and who to talk to if you have a problem. Communication is key and goes a long way in feeling comfortable in a guild. The hierarchy aspect also means that there is room for advancement. While I don't necessarily want to be an officer sometimes, knowing that by working hard and performing well I can reach that status is important to me. The way loot is granted is also a factor when deciding on a guild. There are many ways this happens; rolls, DKP, loot lists, ect. I personally have always liked DKP or loot lists for distributing loot. DKP, or Dragon Kill Points, works by giving raiders points for participation and setting loot values for certain items. Members can "bid" on items and the individual with the most DKP receives it from those bidding. In <Suckafish> we awarded loot based on a predetermined list. Raiders submitted their "Wish Lists" and the officers gave loot based on which upgrades were the most important. DPS would usually receive loot first, followed by tanks and healers, but everyone got a piece at least every other week. This made players accountable for their gear and guaranteed people got the pieces they needed based on importance.
Other than simply being able to play with others, MMOs usually give some sort of incentive for being a part of a guild. For those who level a lot the Guild Reputation and Experience bonus, up to 10%, is probably the most beneficial. This is based on qualifying accounts so it helps being in a guild with a lot of people. With Guild Ships approaching, additional benefits will be available as well. For people who PvE, the bufffs and transport will be useful for Operations. There will also be guild domination of planets to look forward to, and the bonuses and achievements that will open up.
Myself, I could never be guildless. I wouldn't be able to accomplish what I want in game and would be really, REALLY lonely; some people like being lone wolfs, but its just not for me. What about everyone else though, what are the important factors when it comes to finding and joining a guild for you? Is it content or quality? Do you just want to play with friends? What makes a good guild in your opinion?
Most important to me is being guild with people that I like and that are kind, that have similar in-game goals, with good/fair leadership and active members. I pugged through a lot of guilds to find one that I liked, and I think my guild is just right for me. No negative attitudes.

Teeny Tucker
Keep the Blues Alive
TeBo Records
By John Heidt | Published: July 20, 2011
The daughter of Tommy Tucker (of "Hi-Heel Sneakers" fame) has been playing the blues circuit for years. As a vocalist, she has made a name for herself with her brassy delivery and original lyrics.
All of that is featured on her latest release, with cuts like "Ain't That the Blues" and its tale of woe. "Keep the Blues Alive" and "Respect Me and the Blues" talk about the history of the blues and what it means, as does the brilliant "John Cephas."
Tucker's cohort is guitarist Robert Hughes, who is skilled in all aspects of the blues. When a song needs slinky fills or big solos, he supplies them. When a gospel-tinged song calls for a melodic solo with a tough sound, he's there. Shuffles with jazz turnarounds are no problem. A funky, almost disco-tinged tune gives Hughes the chance to play a pinched note solo that fits the music perfectly. On at least two cuts, he supplies perfect acoustic country-blues accompaniment for Tucker's soulful vocals. And while his solos are always on the money, his support of the vocals with fills is uncanny.
While Tucker's songs at times plead for the blues to live on, that shouldn't be a problem with singers like her and players like Hughes, who so fully understand the music.
Teeny's Huge Voice
Darling of the blues scene joins Waterfront Blues Festival this weekend
Teeny Tucker
TORONTO - When I saw a video on YouTube of Teeny Tucker singing Keep the Blues Alive, I was blown away. I'd never heard of her before, and became an instant fan.
Here's why: I love blues and gospel, and I've always liked singers like Etta James and Koko Taylor who had big, brassy voices. Teeny Tucker is a blues belter of the highest order and she deserves all the props she's getting from fans and critics in the blues world.
Speaking of James, check YouTube for a video of Tucker singing James' signature song, At Last. She'll give you chills.
Tucker is at Woodbine Park Sunday at 4:30 p.m. as part of the seventh annual Waterfront Blues Festival and you don't want to miss her.
Tucker, who's been nominated for a 2011 Blues Music Award for best traditional female blues artist, was born in Columbus, Ohio, and her dad, Tommy Tucker, had a hit in 1964 with a song called Hi-Heel Sneakers.
She was born that year, but only began singing professionally 10 years back. Tucker has released three albums so far and has become the darling of the blues world. Her latest is Keep the Blues Alive.
Teeny Tucker "Keep The Blues Alive" TaBo 2010.
Singer of an enormous expressiveness and strength, Teeny Tucker has got the blues and all the music she plays, not only in her genes, but also in her soul, her heart and especially in her blood. Miss Tucker deals with an unbelievable charisma and dramatic passion all Afro american music, especially blues and rhythm and blues, styles she has a magnificent control, thanks to her excellent vocal resources. Teeny has tone, attack, wide vocal range and feeling. a lot of feeling. Eight of the eleven tracks included in this new work are her own songs, seven of them written in collaboration with the band guitar player Robert Hughes, who is responsible of the music too. The other songs included are "Make Room For Teeny" written by Pam & Lee Durley, "Heartbreak" and "Got My Mojo Working". Besides Teeny on vocals and Robert on guitar, you will also find David Gustel on harmonica and piano, Scott Keeler on bass, Darrell Jumper on drums and Linda Dachtyl on Hammond B3. An exciting album, full of strength, magic and delicious flavor, with Teeny Tucker's priceless distinctive voice majestically excelling the party. While I am writing these lines I have learned our lady has been nominated for The Blues Foundation Awards as Best Traditional Blues Female. Good luck, Teeny!!

Teeny Tucker
Keep The Blues Alive
The blues has been here for us since long before any of us were walking the Earth. Great blues transcends eras, and is just as easy to understand now as it was in the genre's infancy. One of the modern blues greats on the rise is Teeny Tucker, and her latest album, "Keep The Blues Alive", will likely do just that.
A next generation blues star with music in her genes, Teeny Tucker is ready to take her place among the greats of modern blues. Her guitar playing is second to none, and her vast life experience, playing both for and with the legends of music, has paid off well for her. "Keep The Blues Alive" is the result of a student schooled to the game by legends, doing her best to earn her spot.
Of all the songs on this collection, "I Wish We Could Go Back" stands out as the best. It offers genuine feelings that are easily understood and relatable. I can see this track, along with a few others, challenging the current Top Ten in the blues charts very soon.
From top to bottom, "Keep The Blues Alive" is a great album, worthy of mass success and critical praise. It is always a good thing when a modern blues record puts a smile on your face. Let Teeny Tucker brighten your day with her love of the blues.

Blues Music Review: Teeny Tucker - Keep The Blues Alive - TeBo Records 2010
Teeny Tucker, like so many children of Blues performers, could likely perform the songbook of her famous father, and get gigs pretty regularly; but Teeny has gone against the grain in that regard to forge her own career in the music industry through hard work and raw talent. The Dayton, Ohio native grew up singing in the church and listening to her father, Tommy Tucker (who's hit song "Hi-Heel Sneakers" has been covered by more than 200 artists and bands.) Teeny didn't decide to pursue a career in music until late 1996, and since she made up her mind, she's been building a head of steam ever since. Now she's poised to break through on a larger scale.
Teeny Tucker's previous album, 2008's Two Big M's, was selected as one of six finalists for "Best Self-Produced CD of the Year" by the Blues Foundation at the following year's I.B.C. That momentum caused an upswing in gigs and festival bookings, as well as a creative swell that carried into her latest album, Keep The Blues Alive.
The album kicks off with the socially conscious "Ain't That the Blues," a tune that profiles the heartbreaking situations of it's subject, a young female who lost her mother and goes to live with her father, who lives in his vehicle. It's the first of eight songs on the album featuring lyrics either written or co-written by Teeny Tucker. It's heavy stuff, no doubt, but performed with conviction in an arrangement that really hits an infectious groove. You're instantly wanting to hear more from this album to see if they can keep up the great work here.
"Make Room for Teeny" is a cool, biographical tune that was actually written by Pam and Lee Durley, not Teeny herself. Tucker belts lines like "Don't mean to cause alarm, and sure don't mean no harm. But, Teeny's in the house to raise the roof." This is a party song with some standout work by drummer Darrell Jumper and pianist David Gastel. "Daughter To the Blues" is another biographical song, this one written by Teeny herslef, and with a slower tempo. The songs are two sides of a figurative coin, possessing the same subject with a different approach on each. Gastel switches to harmonica here, and does equally as well, especially growling his way through a solo about halfway through the track. Guitarist and executive producer Robert Hughes' playing is some of the best, here, as well.
I saw in a video interview that "Old Man Magnet" was inspired by a conversation that Teeny had with some of her backup singers, talking about a certain type of fan that approaches the ladies often out at festival gigs. It's another fun track that actually is has that "girl power" vibe, because most of the vocals deal with a woman taking care of herself and keeping a wonderful, classy appearance that attracts a more mature type of man. Cool stuff.
"I Wish We Could Go Back," clocking in near the seven-minute mark, is the longest song on the album, a slow burner that features some terrific Hammond organ from Linda Dachtyl (who also plays on the opener, as well as "Heartbreak"). Hughes remarked in the liner notes, "This is Teeny at her best!" She certainly pours her soul into the song, and there's a lot going on here vocally, as Teeny really shines on the microphone. The songwriting is excellent, as well.
The title track has one of the strongest Gospel influences on this record, in my opinion, taking on the feel of an old spiritual as Teeny and her singers belt the introduction a'capella. That vibe doesn't stop there, either. It carries on once the musicians kick in, and you find yourself grinning and clapping as the tune really gets going. This is one of my favorite songs on the album! That's followed by "I Live Alone," a tune co-written by Teeny and Eric Blume. Hughes is responsible for all of the arrangements on the album, save for "I Live Alone," although he plays on the track, and very well, I might add.
"John Cephas" is a gorgeous acoustic track that salutes the life of the great musician, and one of the best ambassadors that this music has ever known. In the album's liner notes, you get a sense that Robert Hughes took the passing of John Cephas very hard, and he notes that this song was born of Teeny's efforts to help the cathartic efforts to relieve the heartache. Many of the greats of the genre, friends of Cephas, are also mentioned in the song, and the arrangement of simply guitar, harp, and vocals suits it perfectly.
"Heartbreak" is one of only two covers on the album, which appear back-to-back. The other cover is the classic "I Got My Mojo Workin'." Back to "Heartbreak," though; the song was co-written and performed by Jon Thomas in 1960. "I Got My Mojo Workin'" is obviously the classic song most famously performed by Muddy Waters, but originally written in 1956 by actor Preston Foster. The arrangement here sticks rather close to Muddy's take, although the lyrics are performed the way they were originally written by Foster. (Click Here For the Song's Wikipedia Entry, Which Features A Great Lyrical Comparison In the Different Versions of the Song.)
"Respect Me and the Blues" wraps up this 11-song set of tunes from teeny Tucker and company. It's yet another great example of Tucker's songwriting pulling from real life. This time, Tucker lays it all out for those who would have her sing another style of music. Tucker wonderfully tells 'em how it is, and leaves it up to all of us to "Respect" it or not. The song is a great closer for this album, and the arrangement is cool, here, as well; with Tucker's vocal over Hughes' electric picking.
Standout Tracks: The title track, "John Cephas," "I Got My Mojo Workin'" and "Respect Me and the Blues"
Teeny Tucker - Keep the Blues Alive
Tebo Records
11 tracks; 47:29 minutes; Suggested

The easiest thing I ever had to do was fulfill her request and "make room for Teeny." The bouncy, second track on her fourth CD implores, "Make Room for Teeny," and right from the first notes in the first song I was clearing her path – no elbow to the ribs or kicks to the shin needed!
Teeny (born Regina Westbrook, only daughter of Tommy "Hi-Heel Sneakers" Tucker) had already got her proverbial foot in the door when I caught her appearance at the 2008 Nothin' But the Blues Festival in Bloomington IL. The time I spent with her then revealed a sincere and warm personality beyond her incredible singing voice and stage show.
Following her 2008 critically acclaimed CD, "Two Big M's," Teeny Tucker and her band lay down one of the best CDs of the year! "Keep The Blues Alive" features eleven entertaining and enjoyable tracks of music, and shows off another of Teeny's many talents, that of songwriter. She co-wrote eight of the eleven songs, usually with musical partner and guitar player extraordinaire Robert Hughes. With only two cover songs, the album's originality is spread across many topics and styles reflecting her many influences.
Listeners' tastes are as varied as the listeners themselves, but the mid-tempo track one, "Ain't That the Blues" is as good as it gets for me. Telling the story of a blind twelve year old girl whose mother died of aids, Teeny's somber yet soaring vocals paint a rich, poignant picture. The background vocalists (Mary Lusco-Ashley, Paula Brown, Jackie Tate) add emotionally to the texture while Hughes' guitar equally sets the mood. This is not a happy ending story, it is unbearable – thus the title.
Another song that just instantly begged radio play (and got it first on our Friends of the Blues Radio Show) is Teeny's (and Eric Blume's) up tempo original "I Live Alone." This is a dance inducing, romping shuffle that features Scott Keeler's popping bass line and David Gastel on harp in sync with Hughes' guitar – then each taking a killer solo. Darrell Jumper keeps everyone in time on drums.
What is better to an older man than chatting up (hitting on?) a younger woman? "Old Man Magnet" provides humor (?) as Teeny relates some past encounters: "I'm an old man magnet, and they stick to me like glue!"
Of the
two covers, "Heartbreak" by Joe "Cornbread" Thomas and C. Hoyle is a strong re-work featuring exquisite Hammond B3 organ by Linda Dachtyl. The keys fill the bottom while guitar and harp pump up the rhythm. Teeny's vocals showcase her four-octave range on both sides of a tasty organ solo. I plan to air this song this week!
The other cover is "I Got My Mojo Workin,'" and it is a natural for a "Keep the Blues Alive" album. Teeny's version is great, but honestly, isn't this song about to join "Mustang Sally" and "Sweet Home Chicago" on the most over-played list?
Acoustic guitar fans will enjoy the heartfelt tribute to the late Piedmont Bluesman John Cephas (titled "John Cephas"). The set closer, "Respect Me and The Blues" finds Robert Hughes as the lone accompaniment to Teeny's simple spoken/sung messages and experiences about giving her respect and her choice to sing Blues (not R&B).
Join me and "Make Room for Teeny" in your listening rotation. Once you hear her mature and sophisticated appeal, you'll find it easy to let her in and impossible to let her go.

Teeny Tucker: a tiny, but tremendous blues force
This Tuesday was a perfect blues day on WEMU. The cold and the clouds called for down-home story-filled music. Our playlist this morning included local blues luminaries Johnnie Bassett and George Bedard along with Columbus Ohio's blues emissary, Teeny Tucker.
Teeny Tucker comes honestly to the blues. Her father Tommy Tucker was the first to have a hit with "Hi-Heel Sneakers". Her earliest musical experiences were in church in Dayton, Ohio but in her teens, Teeny discovered her true calling: deep, down-home blues. Since then she has paid her dues and gained national recognition as an independent recording artist, singer and songwriter. "Voodoo To Do You" is her fourth disc on TeBo Records. The fourth time may be the "charm" to catapult Ms. Tucker to worldwide fame. She tells great stories, struts her tough stuff, rocks with her band, delivers fresh covers of classics such as "I'm A Woman", laughs at herself and croons tender blues ballads such as "Death Don't Have No Mercy". Many of the songs revolve around the by Browse to Save" href="http://wemu.org/post/teeny-tucker-tiny-tremendous-blues-force">mystique of "voodoo" from working it on a miscreant lover to the spells cast by a new love interest. Many CDs today are not worthy of listening from start to finish, but "Voodoo To Do You" by Teeny Tucker is one terrific tune after another
Review of Teeny Tucker - Voodoo to Do You by James "Skyy Dobro" Walker & Rainey Wetnight of Blues Blast Magazine

TeBo Records
13 songs; 39:11 minutes; library Quality
Styles: Traditional Blues, Modern Electric Blues
Being a Blues CD reviewer and Blues radio show co-host, I encounter hundreds of albums per year. Imagine the range that appears, from sadly amateurish to inspiringly great. In almost every case, what separates the exciting album from the mundane is the quality of the vocals. And, honestly, how many truly exceptional, contemporary vocalists are there? My radio partner and I have not found many!
Dayton, Ohio's Teeny Tucker is the best female Blues vocalist on the scene today! Her singing has a tone that is just instantly pleasing, no matter what the subject matter of the song. Her voice has superior qualities in passion, timbre, pitch, range and volume that define modern Blues. Now, add to that Teeny's songwriting, backup singers, loyal touring and studio band-mates, and musical director, co-writer, and guitarist Robert Hughes, and you have a stellar combination showcased wonderfully and most recently in Teeny's third CD, "Voodoo to Do You." Besides Hughes, complementing Tucker are David Gastel on harmonica and keyboards, Robert Blackburn on bass, Darrell Jumper on drums, Mary Lusco-Ashley and Paula Brown – background vocals, and Linda Dachtyl adds Hammond B3 and piano to four tracks.
Across the set, Teeny Tucker, daughter of Tommy "Hi Heel Sneakers" Tucker, knows just the right notes to cast a spell on listeners. Since the beginning of her professional singing career in 1996, Teeny has mesmerized genre aficionados with releases such as 2008's award-nominated "Two Big M's" and 2010's "Keep the Blues Alive." Each of the thirteen selections on "Voodoo…" (five originals and eight covers, including a stunning, masterpiece version of Reverend Gary Davis' "Death Don't Have No Mercy") centers on the tantalizing titular subject. All of them showcase Teeny's vocals magnificently, especially the three original compositions featured below.
Track 03: "Love Spell"--Some blues melodies spontaneously combust into high-octane lyrics and roaring instrumental riffs, but "Love Spell" is a slow burner. As Teeny yearns for the delightful early days of a fizzled romance, Robert Hughes' mid-song guitar solo and Linda Dachtyl's Hammond B3 organ turn up the heat. "I wish things were the way they used to be," our lovelorn narrator laments, followed by her demand: "Hey, I need you to reach inside and cast a love spell on me!" Perhaps more than any other track on this album, "Love Spell" captures the essence of Teeny's potent musical voodoo.
Track 07: "Shoes"--This laugh-out-loud-funny song is an ode to fashionable footwear of all kinds, to which many female blues fans can relate! "I've got shoes in my closet, lined across the wall, strapped ones, flat ones, ones that make you tall. I got a pair that look nice, a pair that look cool, a pair when I want to cast a spell on you..." Mary Lusco-Ashley and Paula Brown join Tucker (harmonizing with herself) on saucy background vocals, as she sings: "I'm like the woman with so many children that she didn't know what to do!"
Track 13: "Sun Room"--This previously-unissued track has a unique history. Says Teeny: "...We recorded [it] live at the world-renowned Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. We wrote it a few hours before recording the PBS series ["Sun Sessions"]. Listening to Robert [Hughes'] knowledge of the Sun history shaped the song's lyrics for me. I was thrilled to have the Teeny Tucker Sun Sessions episode shown on PBS TV in every major market in the USA." The song itself is a swinging celebration of this legendary studio, complete with guest background vocalist Jackie Tate and bassist Scott Keeler.
Blues fans: enjoy this vocalist and entertainer extraordinaire in her prime. Teeny has never been better, and the band is squeaky tight. And, if you are weary of cold weather and slate-colored skies, Teeny has some "Voodoo to Do You" and banish the winter blahs!
Reviewed by James "Skyy Dobro" Walker and Rainey Wetnight.
WHOA! Stand back from those speakers cos this release will rock you to your very soul. The first track `Voodoo Woman (They Call Me The)' sets the bar really high and hard. Guitarist, Robert Hughes breaks out with a string lashing, plectrum mashing intro and the song takes off to heights unseen in a good while. Ms. Tuckers' voice has never been stronger, and more emotional than here and now. Recalling the glory of Koko Taylor's version, Ms. Tucker has fun with the lyrics and in doing so tosses her hat into the ring of Best Female Blues singers.
Ms. Tucker offers us an original tune `Love Spell'. It's musical arrangement (by Mr. Hughes) fits hand in glove with this release and again Ms. Tuckers vocals are impassioned and impressive. The addition of Hammond on this and several other tracks by Ms. Linda Dachtyl adds a ripe fullness to the overall sound and at times creates and eerie presence that's floats like a shadow upon a half-opened door. A note this track has advanced to the finals in the International Song Writing Competition.
Covering Ms. Laverne Baker's `Voodoo Voodoo' it remains true to the rock and roll feel of the original but freshens it up with a tad more spice and ya ya as the band rocks and reels thru it at breakneck speed and does it in 2:55 a new world record!
A classic `voodoo' themed song has always been Charles Sheffield's `It's Your Voodoo Working" Released in 1961 this Excello release has enjoyed some new found popularity (probably more than the original release) these days and Ms. Tucker understands the ins and outs of how to frame a lyric, word or pause on this number. With a scratching rhythm and solid drum beat it launches Mr. Hughes to new heights on this guitar solo and then it fades into an amorphous sound by Browse to Save" href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R2TL1J9RFVQG14">cloud as the keyboards swirl and mix it all up and replants it back on the drum beat provided by Mr. Darrell Jumper. Yeh it's your voodoo workin' and I can't get enough.
Getting their funk on we get the sagely advice of `Muddier Things Get'. With a clavinet sounding guitar riff setting the stage (think seventies soul) Ms. Tucker signs of how when things get really muddy in our live - clarity is usually right around the corner. Mr. Hughes accompanies himself over that clavinet guitar with a tone rich solo that has just the right bite to be funky but not a throw back copy. Nice harp work by David Gastel adds to the whole aural landscape and fills it out nicely.
Contained within this release are three bonus tracks that are splendid additions to the whole package. Cover versions of by Browse to Save" href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R2TL1J9RFVQG14">Skip James' `Hard Times Killing Floor' and `Death Don't have No Mercy' by Rev. Gary Davis. Both of these done with a fresh approach and respect for the song - which is how it should be.
The other by Browse to Save" href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R2TL1J9RFVQG14">bonus track is a Ms. Tucker original `Sun Room'. This is Ms. Tucker's tribute to Sun Studios and the magic/voodoo that went down there. Smart lyrics that allow for vocal calisthenics and a banging rhythm section plays true to the feel of Sun Studios at 706 Memphis Avenue in Memphis Tennessee.
Current Issue of Living Blues
The legacy of family bands and multi-generational musical lineage is a strong one in the history of the blues. Some of the best blues musicians performing today come out of this tradition. Lurrie Bell; Teeny Tucker; Cedric, Duwayne, Kent, and Garry Burnside; Kinney and David (Malone) Kimbrough; Sharde Thomas; Rev. John Wilkins; Eddie Jr., Larry, and Demetria Taylor; Chris Thomas, and this issue's cover artist Kenny Neal are all sons, daughters, and even grandsons of earlier popular bluesmen.
Kenny Neal's family legacy is rich and deep. The son of Louisiana bluesman Raful Neal, Kenny (and most of his sisters and brothers) grew up playing music, eventually backing their father and, later, a who's who of blues musicians as the house band at the Isabella Hotel in Toronto. At age 55 Kenny Neal is carrying on the legacy of his family name with a new major release planned for this fall and two children of his own (Kenny Jr. and Syretta) who perform with him.
We continue our look at the Nashville blues scene with Tim Ghianni's feature on James "Nick" Nixon. Nixon was the leader of one of the first racially mixed bands in Nashville in the 1960s and has been a central figure in the city's R&B scene for over 50 years. This issue also features a story on guitarist Melvin Taylor and young blues phenom Selwyn Birchwood, who recently took top honors at the IBC awards in Memphis. We also have a wonderful photo essay by folklorist George Mitchell from his remarkable 1967 trip to the Mississippi hill country, where he first met Otha Turner, Jessie Mae Hemphill, R.L. Burnside, and Mississippi Fred McDowell, among others.
This weekend marks a very special anniversary in the blues world. It was 60 years ago that Bob Koester recorded and released his first album, by a vintage jazz group from St. Louis called Sammy Gardner and the Fabulous Windy City Six. Thus began the amazing legacy of Delmark (then Delmar) Records. Junior Wells' Hoodoo Man Blues, Magic Sam's West Side Soul, Robert Jr. Lockwood's Steady Rollin' Man, J.B. Hutto's Hawk Squat, Jimmy Dawkins' Fastfingers, Otis Rush's Cold Day In Hell, and Big Joe Williams' Blues on Highway 49 all were recorded by Bob Koester. And this is just one part of his musical legacy. Koester has released over 500 records, over 300 of them jazz albums, owned the Jazz Record Mart in Chicago, employed and mentored a who's who of future blues label owners and scholars (Jim O'Neal, Bruce Iglauer, Michael Frank, Peter Aschoff). He even gave the seed by Browse to Save" href="http://www.livingblues.com/#">money to start Living Blues magazine. At age 81 Koester is still going as strong as ever with new releases on Tail Dragger, Arthur Crudup, and Lurrie Bell out now. Hats off to you, Bob…and thanks!
It's time again to vote in the Living Blues Awards. We've got a knockout batch of nominees this year and an expanded field of choices. I've also added a Best Blues Book category, so turn to page 79 and check out the ballot, and then go to www.LivingBlues.com and vote digitally. It's the fastest and easiest way to vote.
Due to space constraints I have decided to move our written classified ads to our website. New ads will post and the list will be updated with the release of every new issue of the magazine. And don't forget, the Living Blues Radio Charts are now posted monthly on our website as well.
We lost one of the great Chicago bluesman and a great friend of Living Blues a few weeks ago. Jimmy Dawkins died on April 10 at his home in Chicago. Dawkins was a principled man whom you could count on and trust. He was a remarkable guitarist and songwriter as well as a label owner (Leric Records). He was politically and socially conscious and served as a mentor to numerous young musicians. Dawkins even wrote for LB for a time. A full obituary can be found on page 78.
