This Saturday, May 29, 2010, in Rentiesville, Oklahoma, Curly “No Shoes” Jr. (a/k/a Mark Muehlberg) will be officially inducted into the Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame. The ceremony starts at 7:00 p.m., if you happen to be in the area. Rumor has it that the guitar picker Saturday night will be none other than Tony Mathews (former guitarist for Ray Charles)!

Curly also announced that he and his family have relocated to Chicago. He still plans to tour through Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas so check out his website often so that you can attend his shows when he’s in the area.

Curly passed along special thanks to his family; many, many friends and fans; to Sammy Mayfield (his song writing partner, producer and friend; to the club owners, promoters, and booking agents (in particular David McIntyre and Oscar Blues in Lyons, CO); and to Carmen Allgood — creator and CEO of the “Colorado Wave” Network of radio stations for her undying support and encouragement. Carmen has been playing Curly’s music on the radio all across the USA for years and suggested that we all give her the “LOVE WAVE”!!! Curly took the time and effort to write a really considerate note of thanks to all who have helped him along the way.

But perhaps less known is Oklahoma’s contribution to Blues music.

In the small town of Rentiesville, 15 miles south of Muskogee, Blues is alive and well, says Selby Minner, widow of Blues great D.C. Minner.

To honor Blues music and its major contributors, the Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame will hold its Induction Gala on May 29 and induct seven Oklahoma Blues musicians into the organization.

“The induction celebration, along with music and dinner, honors the state’s contribution to the Blues,” Minner said.

Inductees are Tiny Davis, Joe Liggins, Roy Milton, D.C. Minner, Curly ”˜No Shoes’ Jr., Rudy Scott and Bucky Young. Ray Tubbs will receive the first annual Ray Tubbs Keeping the Blues Alive Award.

"The party begins at 7 p.m. with a bar-b-que dinner, and then some of the finest Blues performers will play,” Minner said. “This celebration is a wonderful lead-in event to our 20th Annual Rentiesville Blues Festival scheduled for September 3, 4, and 5. We will present Johnny Rawls, Curly "No Shoes" Jr. and many, many more Blues greats. By the way, Johnny Rawls recently won the Blues Foundation Soul Album of the Year Award.”

In addition to these events, every Sunday from 6 to 10 p.m. there’s a jam session, complete with corn bread, beans and munchies.

All activities are held at the Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame, Down Home Blues Club in Rentiesville. For more information, call 918.855.0978.

The Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame is a member of Green Country Marketing Assn., one of 11 multi-county organizations working with the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department, the Oklahoma Travel Industry Assn. and the other 10 multi-county associations to promote the state tourism industry.]]> http://curlynoshoesjr.com/news.html#59 Mon, 24 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700 Make Your Dreams Come True - The Curly "No Shoes" Jr. Band! - News http://curlynoshoesjr.com/news.html#58
