Big Willy and the Wing Tips

About Me

ATTN: We have decided to become a bit more "selective" about who we are adding. So, if you do not have some connection to BLUES MUSIC - be it playing to it or listening to it, then you probably don't need to be on this page.We hope this dosen't rub anybody the wrong way, but, there just doesn't seem to be much sense for us to "feature" death-metal or rapper bands, or their fans. We have worked VERY hard to get where we are and Blues Music is a most sacred endeavour.We do not wish to diminish the seriousness of our mission by allowing people to slap Eminem banners in our comments section. Of course we do love jazz, funky, and old soul and R&B, as well as fine artists from other fields in the arts, such as painters, photographers, dancers, etc., who are always welcome here. Note: This was copied from another blues band page. I hope they don't mind. We absolutely agree with this statement. That's why we wanted to use this. Again I hope they don't mind.
