The way you guys sing the "PLEADGING MY LOVE" by J. Ace was so nice. My co-workers when they hear the song... WHO IS SINGING?? What's that song? and they also love it, I wish I could learn to play the guitar solo of this song(just learning to play). I purchase this song at I TUNE, 4 yrs ago.
Thank you.

SaNa Blue has been around for a while now and I'm glad and proud to call her friend. I am always glad to see african Americans who value their own history and Living culture. More importantly, she has
embraced the Blues with an honesty that is
truly rare and special. The Blues lives on in SaNa Blue.

Hi Sandra, just a line to let you know how Tommie and I enjoyed ourselves at the Leo Birthday Bash. Was happy to see friends and relatives. I'm enjoying my little lion piggy bank. Maybe next time we're in Atlanta we can stay longer. Hope everyone got home safe. Enjoyed the Jam session also.

Diamond

Saturday July 23rd was SaNa's annual Leo birthday bash and I swear there might have been 300 people there throughout the day and night. It was a great blues jam with some super performances by everyone with folks coming from as far away as Swainsboro, GA and out of state - Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, California, Alabama, Mississippi, Lousiana, Florida, New York, Detroit, North Carolina, and elsewhere.

I will be in Atlanta this weekend visiting my daughter Jasmin. Jasmin is an intern at the Nelson Mullen Law firm. I am staying over Sunday night to hear your band play in the park. I love your music!

I would like very much to see you prior to your performance. I will arrive late on Friday night and will engage in various sight-seeing activities on Saturday. My cell phone number is 317-496-5305 please feel free to call.

Best regards,

Thanks :)

Your fellow Senior Citizen

May 31, 2005

SaNa, Girl! You might be about to turn 57 on July 30th. But, the way you played that bass and belted out those sounds at the the Senior Centers, (I was at all 4 centers)one would think you just turned 21. Girl, you really got it going on. It must be the music that keeps you looking and acting so young. And, when you went into James Brown's "I Feel Good" at the Darnell Center, I was sold!

I love your "Men on Every Hand". They look good, they sound good, and they are true gentlemen. I hope you all go far. Very far!

Percy Matthews

April 15, 2005

I got a chance to see you guys perform @ Maddy's. The show was great! You guys looked great and sounded even better. I liked how you involved the audience ;e.g. the little boy who sat in on drums , and the guest guitarist. It was truly a party atmosphere! I especially liked the diversity of the music that you played. I was totally speechless when you guys performed "The Cross" by Prince!!! Kudos to the drummer! (My 'girlfriend' was wondering if he's single. I look forward to seeing you guys perform again ,and I'll keep checking the web site for future dates. Thanks for being true entertainers. Missy M.

Traz neonblack

March 24, 2005

I'm the drummer in the band, and I have to say that of the several groups that I've performed with this is by far the best! To those of you that have yet to experience the music "up close and personal",then you owe it to yourself to treat yourself to a good time. We've got a li'l something for everyone (yes, even you!) Check the calendar, and we'll party with you at the next show! Peace and blessings!
