Congratulations to all of the BMA finalists and wi Congratulations to all of the BMA finalists and winners! Huge kudos to the @bluesfoundation who did an outstanding job of live-streaming the event.

Hey There Cruiser Family! Today, April 24th, mark Hey There Cruiser Family! Today, April 24th, marks our Admiral Roger's 41st Anniversary promoting Legendary Live Blues Musicians for our enjoyment and pleasure. Here he is with his dog Foxy Blue in front of Commander Cody's Commemorative Blues Cruise painting of Bobby Blue Bland, staying at home out of potential harm's way. We are now 6 months away from the 35th LRBC and will keep everyone posted on the progress being made by Holland America to reopen their fleet in mid to late July. This global pandemic has created a lot of uncertainty in all of our lives. In addition to being unable to go out to hear & see live Blues Music performances, one of the hardest issues of our time when sheltering in place has been staying patient. We remain positive and resilient in the fact that through strict safety measures and the CDC approval it has become safe for the cruise industry to operate in and out of the US ports and our Eurodam Ship should be considered good to sail. We will not put our musicians, cruisers or staff in danger. We are unable to cancel our cruise at this time, but must see how things develop over the next 2 -3 months. As always, your deposits and payments are solid with us as most of you you either have a cabin for #35 or will be selecting a cabin for January's #36 LRBC cruise in the coming weeks. If by unforeseen circumstances, the CDC mandates that the Eurodam may not sail, or Holland America may not find a replacement vessel for us, we will either postpone the cruise or forced to cancel. You will have the option at that time to get a full refund or move your deposits/payments to a future cruise. Meanwhile, we are in the process of finding Legendary nuggets of past artist Interviews moderated by scholars such as Bill Wax, Reverend Billy C Wirtz, Art Tipaldi and others as well as jam sessions, special featured events, cooking demos and master classes to link or stream. Check out the LRBC Archive Section, there is a lot to explore…. (Link in bio).
