Lady Star's Blues Band

My parents are from Hollendell, Mississippi, but moved to Joliet, Illinois in the mid 50's, just before I was born. I was raised on Blues. My father told us that if we didn't like his music then we could just go to bed. I would stay up at first just to keep from having to go to bed early, but the more and more I listened, the more I loved the music. I don't know if it was because of my father or the music that worked it's magic, but the Blues became a part of my soul. I think that church had a lot of influence on me through the music. I always say "Blues is nothing but Church with a little twang added to it." Plus what you can't say in church, you sure can sing in Blues.

I moved to San Diego, CA in the mid 70's and started performing Classical Music, R&B, and Jazz, but they didn't move me like the Blues. "Just something about singing the Blues makes the spirit move all through me."
