There were plenty of home-made sweets to go along with the sweet sounds of Jerry Epperson and Pat Joyce as they warmed the crowd with classic jazz tunes on a cold winter Sunday. I stopped by for a set and a few sweets myself. Then I got a few pictures to share. I hope to see you all there next year. Enjoy.

St. Louis native Barbara Carr coming to Club Mississippi

Visit Club Mississippi ‘s Facebook Page!
St. Louis native Barbara Carr got her start singing like so many soul performers did – in church singing in the choir, before forming a family gospel group. She soon got into singing secular music, forming a popular local group called the Petites, which opened for artists such as Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. Barbara got her first big break when she auditioned and won the job as a singer in St. Louis legend Oliver Sain’s band, which she held until 1972.
During her time with Oliver Sain’s band, Barbara Carr also secured a solo deal with Chess Records and released several singles for the iconic label (“Don’t Knock Love,” “I Can’t Stop Now,” “Think About It Baby”). When those didn’t sell like she’d hoped, Barbara stopped recording for a time to raise a family. After a short return to Chess in the early ‘70s, Barbara and her husband eventually formed their own label and began releasing a number of singles, mostly recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals Studios in Alabama. These resulted in the release of her first album, Good Woman Go Bad, in 1989, as well as several others in the ‘90s on several other labels, including Paula, and a very successful string of singles and albums that followed over the next 10 years on the Ecko label.

Stephanie Trick & Paolo Alderighi: June 10, 2012; Clarksville Missouri
Short video to sample the performance in Clarksville, Missouri
Stephanie Trick Preview
Don’t miss your chance to see Stephanie Trick in concert at the Clarksville Missouri Appleshed Theater. Sunday June 10th. Performance is at 2:00 PM in the afternoon. Show up a little early to get your tickets and seats!
Jeff Jam 2012
The Jeff Allwood memorial benefit jam happened on Sunday June 3rd at Clopton High School. I went out and tried to keep up. I was easily the worst player there, but everyone was welcoming and patient, and I had some fun.
Just about everyone there got up to sing or jam, and some of those guys can really play. It’s pretty cool to see a whole family take a turn and tear it up!
The Allwoods raffled a harmonica and guitar away from Duane’s Music of Troy Missouri. Proceeds benefit Pike County Missouri Home Health & Hospice. It was a lot of fun for a good cause and I hope it continues.
Stephanie Trick to Perform in Clarksville Missouri
