Blues Brothers Set The Night On Fire!

You've seen the movie. You know them by name, Jake and Elwood, and the Blues Brother Band. WOW! Last night the SL Blues Brothers performed a benefit concert for the Blues for Autism fundraiser, and it was spectacular to say the least! It started in a ball of flame with band at full tilt.

"The Blues Brothers, Ladies and Gentlemen!"











It was Liams Sands on Sax, Bluto Brando on guitar, Coz Okelly on trumpet, Thor Effingham on keyboard, MrDs Magic on bass, Quinten Lovenkraft on drums, GeorgeWiser Risent as Elwood and Tight Whiteberry as Jake! And Crystalrose Lightworker as Aretha Franklin. Whooo Hooo!!

Gas masks were available as Jake blew a big one! Yeah, he was bare butt naked. Oh the humanity!

As the gas cleared, the boys ran around in their, well, briefs. hehe.

The crowd was loving it all... well, except the smell maybe.

The wonderful Aretha Franklin joined the boys, sang and drove donations higher.

The show ended the way it began, on fire! And the cops couldn't stop'em.









It was a wild show with great tunes. At the end of the concert, Magi McBride announced that the show had raised L$22,585 and "OUR GRAND TOTAL GOING INTO SATURDAY IS: L$ 1,075,289." WOW... and it ain't over yet. Magi's goal looks more and more like a real possibility.

Thank you to all of the members of the band and all of the guests who gave so generously!
