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.

I met Sandra and Tommy Brown. We talk for a while in Willie's Blues Club in Atlanta. I enjoyed my time and the music was good to me...Hope we can talk about the Bizz in the future...
I'd like to know if the Original band had any plans on getting together and touring. Don't want to see a watered down version of the group. I'm looking for the real deal.

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.
Much Love & Respect

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 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.

Your fellow Senior Citizen

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!

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.

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!
