THIS WAS THE GREAT PERFORMERS OF ILLINOIS "TRIBUTE TO BUDDY GUY" SPONSORED BY ILLINOIS ARTS COUNCIL ( www.greatperformersofillinois.com/artists/index.html ) IT WAS A NEW EVENT AND BUDDY RECEIVED THEIR VERY 1ST AWARD. AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE EVENING, THEY INVITED OUT SEVERAL DIGNITARIES FROM THE ILLINOIS ARTS COUNCIL. BUDDY WAS PRESENTED WITH A SPECIAL FENDER GUITAR BUILT JUST FOR THE OCCASION. THE PRESIDENT OF THE ILLINOIS ARTS COUNCIL GAVE A SMALL SPEACH ABOUT BUDDY, INVITED HIM OUT AND THEN PRESENTED HIM WITH THE AWARD. BUDDY SPOKE BRIEFLY AND THEN THEY WALKED OFF STAGE. I FELT THIS WAS VERY UNORGANIZED, POORLY DONE AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE A SLIGHTLY GRANDER SCALE. I HAVE SEEN LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL PRESENTATIONS THAT WERE OF HIGHER CALIBUR. THE VENUE ITSELF IS STUNNING.. A BEAUTIFUL OPEN AIR PAVILLION WITH EXQUISET OVER HEAD CONSTRUCTION WHERE SPEAKERS ARE AIMED DOWN AT THE PAVILLION AS WELL AS THE LAWN BELOW. THE SOUND IS COMPLETELY TIME CODED FOR OPTIMAL SOUND. THE OPENING ACT WAS FERNANDO JONES. HE IS A GOOD BLUESMAN, PROFESSOR, HISTORIAN OF THE BLUES AND AUTHOR OF SEVERAL BLUES BOOKS. HE CONDUCTED/LED THE COLUMBIA COLLEGE BLUES ENSAMBLE. JOINING THEM ON STAGE WAS OTIS TAYLOR, EDDIE "THE CHIEF" CLEARWATER, CARL WEATHERSBY AND ARTIE "BLUESBOY" WHITE. FERNANDO DID GET BUDDY GUY TO COME UP AND PLAY ON 1 SONG AND THEN BUDDY THANKED THE CROWD. IT WAS A FUN LITTLE JAM THAT GAVE A BUNCH OF COLLEGE KIDS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. THEN CAME JIMMY'S SET.

JIMMY PLAYED A GOOD SET WITH LOU ANN BARTON AS A SPECIAL GUEST. IT WAS A RELAXED SHOW.. HE DIDNT JAM VERY HARD, BUT THE PLAYING AND SINGING WITH LOU ANN WAS VERY GOOD. I THINK HE WAS PLAYING TO A "MELLOW CROWD" THAT INCLUDED MANY FOLKS WHO ARE USED TO SEEING THE CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA THERE. JIMMY PAUSED BETWEEN SONGS ONE TIME TO TALK ABOUT BUDDY AS HIS INFLUENCE, WHAT RECORDS HE BOUGHT OF HIS, AND THEN HE WENT ON TO PLAY ANOTHER SONG. THERE WAS NO JAM WITH BUDDY AND OR ANY OTHER SPECIAL GUEST. THE CROWD SEEMED TO BE WAITING FOR THE BIG JAM THAT NEVER HAPPENED. BUDDY SAT STAGE LEFT WITH HIS BROTHER PHIL, LONNIE BROOKS, EDDIE CLEARWATER, WAYNE BAKER BROOKS AND A FEW OTHERS. DONT GET ME WRONG.. I THOUGHT IT WAS A VERY GOOD SHOW, BUT I HAD HIGH HOPES FOR WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH BETTER SHOW. THE JAM AT LEGENDS AFTER THE SHOW FOR BUDDY'S CD RELEASE PARTY WAS VERY GOOD..! THE OPENING ACT WITH BUDDY GUY SITTING IN WILL FOLLOW
