Returning to the blogisphere

Hi I haven’t been blogging for a while… I took a hiatus from music, politics, and had to concentrate on looking after my health then my 88 year old dads. We both are doing better and I have begun playing again and now that the freak show elections are over back to political blogging again look forward to seeing and hearing from all my friends again. Bluesfully yours Mike Chavers

Charlie will be fronting the Big Scene band, with Tom Bell on acoustic guitar and Kevin Wilder on keyboards. He'll be playing the slide guitar, the lap steel and all kinds of other steampunk gadgetry.
