Idaho City-Blues in the Schools
April 18th, 2006
It was a blues road trip. The Boise Blues Society Blues in the Schools loaded up and headed out of town to Idaho City. Teacher Warren Barnes had his Idaho City High students prepared for a little blues.
Ken started off with a little boogie woogie, Richard Soliz added his classic Texas guitar, Pinto’s own bassest Greg handled the back beat with the help of Gary on the congas. add the easy drum style of student Steve and our merry band was in the groove. After a brief history lesson the kids took turns playing, clapping and digging the blues.
Ken lead the Idaho City kids on a musical journey. Moving from traditional blues up to and including a more rock based style. .
The best part? Watching a ring of kids playing and smiling to the blues after classNext stop back to my old stompin’ grounds. Borah High and Mr. Sullivans jazz band.
