NEW YORK BLUES: The Beat Goes On- Melvin Taylor
Posted on 7/05/2009 by Nelson Onofre
Hope everyone is enjoying a safe and fun-filled weekend with some good food, good drink and a groovin' blues shuffle playing in the background. As usual New York is brewing with activities of all kinds. The annual fireworks show was its usual spectacular event. For those that haven't experienced the big 4th of July fireworks show in New York, well, try to do it at least once, it's quite the show. This week I have submitted photos of Mr. Melvin Taylor. He was, in a word, electric! Do yourselves a favor and catch Melvin when he hits your part of town.
Keep supporting the blues and all its fine artists.
