‘I heard about
an organization called 'Wireless For The Blind' that helps provide resources to
the
blind. In the past I'd done a show for the Bristol Eye hospital high-lighting
the fact that so many
early blues greats were blind. It's a long story but I feel I've gained so much
from this kind of music
inspiration from players like the great 'Blind Willie Johnson' and many others -
that I would dedicate
this new CD to them and at the same time make a donation from the album to
'Wireless For The Blind'.
Time to give back, without sounding too coy I hope.’ - Blues
Matters magazine Dec 2010
