...There were so many memorable performances of the day. Sweet Betty
from Atlanta, Georgia demonstrated a powerhouse vocal delivery of deep blues.
Paul DeLay was masterful on harmonica and vocals covering a range of material
including Jimmy Reed and Frank Frost tunes. The teenage Hiser Brothers, Jacob
on keyboards and Kane on standup bass, were so phenomenal that they were
kept on the stage most of the day. One of the highlights of the day was the
performance by Patricia Wilder backed up by the Hiser Brothers. Wilders vocal
and guitar skills were amply displayed on Big Foot Woman. Her energizing delivery
astounded the audience who could not get enough. She joined Michael Burks in a
jam later and they proved to be guitar soul mates trading licks and obviously
enjoying the dueling.
