To the Memphis Bound Patti Park’s Band

 

Bon Voyage

            By Arnold Gritzke

 

Bon Voyage, Safe Journey, Enjoy the excursion;

You are off to Memphis to show your version.

You’re the Best of Buffalo, that’s the latest news;

Your off to the IBC Memphis to play the Blues.

 

The International Blues Competition isn’t new;

But that something every Blues player knew.

23 years they have been looking for the best;

Now you are off to the Memphis Blues Fest.

 

They are coming: bands, duos and singles too;

From all over the world to compete like you.

On the first three nights of February in 2007;

The streets of Memphis will sound like Heaven.

 

A union Street hotel is where you’ll be staying;

Beale Street Clubs is where you’ll be playing.

You’ll knock them dead with your brassy sound;

We hope they find you the best in town.

 

Bon Voyage, Safe Journey, Enjoy the excursion;

You are off to Memphis to show your version.

You’re the Best of Buffalo, that’s the latest news;

Your off to the IBC Memphis to play the Blues.

 

 

Dear Patti...Have you had the satisfaction of waking to the realization that you carried off 500 unsuspecting  hearts, minds and bodies with your incredible performance, tremendous voice and oh so white hot moves!! You and your boys brought us to our knees on last  night...absolutely superb performance, I only wish I could have let loose on the dance floor but for the hundreds of mesmerized fans packed in like sardines, the best we could do was bump and grind in unison with our neighbors! What a blast! Ok, so here's a scenario... now that we are so psyched about becoming Patti Parks groupies, I begged my husband to get me to Memphis in Feb for my Birthday! After seeing that its almost a thousand miles, I realized it would be tough to drive and expensive to fly, so we'll just have to wish you tons

of luck and bon voyage!

This is my husband and me in the picture on new years eve if you can recognize us from last night....

 

congrats!
