OldNeumanntapr Notes-
This was an incredible set! Cafe R&B is a smoking hot blues band from Los Angeles who headlined the 2000 SLO Blues Society Blues Roundup. (The San Luis Obispo Blues Society usually held their shows at the San Luis Obispo Vets’ Hall, but every summer they would put on a big multi-band ‘Blues Round Up’.) I was a volunteer on the sound crew from 1992 until 2001, but still would go back at times when little Jack, the dwarf who was my friend the sound man, retired from doing sound. For the 2000 Blues Round Up, Cafe R&B put on a great show with so much energy. This was the first time that I had seen them, and I patched my Tascam DA-P1 out of the board. Roach has an incredible bluesy voice, and her husband, Bly Carruthers, is a hot guitarist. Unfortunately, because it was a board mix, the guitar was not prominent in the mix because it was so loud onstage. I also photographed the sets that day for the Paso Robles newspaper, where I worked as a photographer. I couldn’t find my original photos and had to use a tear sheet from the newsprint for the artwork. I just love the look in Roach’s eyes in that shot!
