The Blues and Older Minority Musicians XXVIII: More Than Just Music
Abstract The Blues has been a ubiquitous music genre for over 150 years throughout the United States. It's not Mississippi, but Phoenix shares a thriving Blues scene and many GeroBlues performers. This year, the “Bo Diddley Track” celebrates 28 years of continued performance of the Blues and Older Minority Musicians: More Than Just Music at GSA, a legacy of and memorial to former Executive Director Paul Kirschner. Join with your colleagues and local notable musicians for a rousing story of challenge, resilience, and some great music worthy of the true spirit of GSA and these great Blues performers to survive, thrive, and grow in the face of challenge and adversity. Enjoy the lecture, mini-performance and then a special musical event at an outstanding local music venue later in the evening. Enjoy one of the best parties at GSA!
