25 years ago today
Twenty-five years ago today, I took my last voice lesson from Cornelius, my vocal coach back home. She was happy for me because I was departing for Dayton, Ohio to join a record production company.
My Chevy Citation hatch-back was loaded down with my wardrobe, mostly, and notebooks. I was to drive from Warren to Youngstown to pick up Al Berger and we'd join Craig Robinson. These were my songwriting partners.
We were young and had our own Y-town sound to bring to Central Ohio. We were from the NE corner of the Buckeye State. Within a week or so we found a home at L. A. Recording Studios on Livingston Avenue here in the city. It was a better fit than The Roger Troutman sound, and we needed more development.
I digress. While saying our last goodbyes, Channel 21News came on with the late-breaking interruption. We were stunned standing in her doorway -- the lift-off of the space shuttle Challanger. Our expressions went from great excitement to deep pain, as we watched the shuttle blow-up! It was a deep sadness I will never forget!
My God, there was a teacher and six other Americans lost in an instant! How? Why? What happened?
If we were so moved, I wondered how would her family and students go on? Corn hugged me, and bade me adieu'. She said, "Go on and and make your name in the business!"
In 1986, women didn't just go off into space, and they didn't just decide to take a business college education and opt rather to explore music production. No, Ms.McAuliffe and Ms. Booker setting out to do something that hadn't typically been done by women!
So much has transpired since 1986. We have made great strides in both space exploration and music production. Not to mention the Internet....
However; why is that women are still paid less than men in the same positions?
Why is the right to vote by Black Americans still an act that must be renewed every seven years ?
Why CAN'T we make health-care and education affordable for every HUMAN?
Why are people homeless and hungry when we throw away more food than can be consumed, and have abandoned homes with people living on the street?
Why is the world watching Ted Williams' every move?
Why does a mother in Akron go to jail for being guilty of trying to put her children in a better school system. She was dishonest, but the crime was that she had to stoop to tactics in the first place, and believe me she's not the only one who has.
Twenty five years ago today, I began to prioritize and make my intentions known. I became an activist, rather than a reactionary. I had begun fighting for the "underdog." I became a WOMAN!
Oh Lord ,why'd they give that girl a voice and a microphone? All the world is a stage!!
I'm on my way to Memphis, and guess what? "I'm the UNDERDOG, a woman in a man's blues world."
The International Blues Challenge and the Space Shuttle Challenger Anniversary, hmmm......
Chrisa McAuliffe lives on regardless, and so will Shaun Booker Dammit, even if we don't return victorious.
"I see an opportunity in every challenge, rather than a challenge in every opportunity"!

We Just Issued A News Release
NEWS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SHAUN BOOKER BAND WINS CENTRAL OHIO BLUES TITLE
Qualifies To Compete Against World’s Best Musicians
COLUMBUS – Popular Central Ohio singer/songwriter Shaun Booker and her Shaun Booker Band recently were awarded the title “Best Blues Band” in a local competition pitting her group against musicians from several other states.
As a result, Ms. Booker and company will represent Central Ohio – with the goal a recording contract with Alligator Records – in an international competition the first week of February, the International Blues Challenge. The IBC, founded in 1985 to find the world's best unsigned blues artists, will showcase the cream of the crop of blues bands, as voted by their peers, from around the world.
“More than 130 bands are scheduled to be playing in Memphis, Tenn. the first week in February,” Booker says. “These are the hottest blues bands and ensembles from every corner of the globe. We are absolutely honored to be considered the best of the best, and will represent Central Ohio with pride and an energy you can’t imagine.” The many bands to which she refers -- and their thousands of fans -- will descend on the numerous clubs that line Beale Street in Memphis in just a few weeks.
Adding to the excitement of preparation for the international competition is a documentary, to be titled “Road To Memphis,” and featuring Ms. Booker and her ensemble, being shot by producers from Columbus’ WOSU-TV. Producer Cindy Gaillard and a crew from the television show ArtZine have been following the Shaun Booker Band from performance to performance the past few weeks, gathering video and other material for the documentary.
The IBC was created by the non-profit Blues Foundation. The local event that crowned the Shaun Booker Band “best” in the region, giving it the opportunity to go head-to-head against the very best in the world, was sponsored by the Columbus Blues Alliance.
Visit the Shaun Booker Band website at www.shaunbooker.com, and keep up with Ms. Booker’s “Confessions of a Hard Working Blues and Jazz Artist” blog at www.shaunbooker.blogspot.com.

Ya gotta keep out there with the promotions...... Coming Soon on the website -- not only will we have DVDs and CDs of the band for sale, but we will have t-shirts also. Saw the first run a few days ago, and they look incredible! See on you the road!

Where Do You Get Your 'Blues' From?
Hey y'all, this is Shaun Booker Dammit.! Let me first say that if you're taking time to read this, I LOVE YOU! Since I can't afford a therapist; I think this blogging thing is gonna be good for me.
Ask any artist where their inspiration comes from and most will answer " It can be anything" -- something you smell, see, remember ... whatever humans take in goes somewhere... My first realization of transmutation came when I sang my first solo at age three. Granted, I had the advantage of a packed house of people who were already of the mind-set to receive a message. In my grandfathers church I was surrounded by folks who were connected, obviously spiritual, and open to be moved emotionally.
"One has to be open to receive either good or evil," My Mama (maternal grandmother) used to say "the devil can't come in uninvited." I'm not preaching, I'm just saying we can invite or repel. We can choose to act or not. This past week has been one of those weeks in which my emotions have run the gamut and my will tested!
While getting ready for my gig at LaScala this past Saturday, I received one of those phone calls that interrupt your groove. I was doing hair and make-up and learned that one of my favorite Aunts was rushed to the hospital having trouble breathing. She was in critical condition and the doctors didn't know what was wrong.
Aunt Thelma, my deceased mother's sister, is the one whom, although she had five children of her own (one set of twins), still always had something for all of her family members and friends on birthday's Christmas etc... Aunt Thelma was the one that if she kissed your boo-boo it was instantaneously healed. Her smile, tone of voice, and her made-from-scratch, triple-layer chocolate cake would cure whatsoever ailed you.
She was in trouble. I began praying, and from the upbeat tone in which her daughter, first cousin Tracy, was speaking, I was initially not so alarmed and very hopeful of a positive outcome. My cousin said she was still giving instructions. "Don't let them take my dentures out and, make sure your father takes his meds on time!" We laughed. So much like her, in distress and still thinking about others.Then the second phone call, before I got out the door, I was now informed that she was no longer on oxygen, now it was a ventilator, and she would be transferred to The Cleveland Clinic from our little hospital in Warren Ohio.
I started bawling, I knew I was losing my Aunt, the one whom after my mother passed I could call for parenting questions, bad relationship questions, family-tree questions. The lady who went to Paris for the first time at age 75 to visit Rhonda, the twin daughter, who is a bona fide scientist. This is the aunt who organized a family entourage the year after my mother died to see me perform in Port Clinton. She believed in me, and all of us, which made us not afraid to strive for lofty dreams of such careers as professional singers and scientists.
By the time I got to the gig, my eyes were swollen and red. I was weak, in and out of those crying jags, sad and angry! I felt helpless and hopeless. I was not Shaun Booker Dammit! I was a wounded puppy, I was a scared niece in fetal position. I shared my bewilderment with two band members and one fanfriend, before the next wave of the crying jag hit me. Doreen and I went to the bathroom, five minutes til' show time, to fix my face.
While standing at the mirror trying to get it together, out of a stall came a women with an oxygen tank in tow. She shared with my friend that she was recovering from brain surgery, and it was her 35th birthday.
BINGO! There went my pity party ....
"The show must go on," and it did. We had a great performance. I put everything in the songs I sang.
My Aunt Thelma passed away the next day, and it hurt like hell, but I was prepared. I'm going to sing at her funeral this coming Saturday, I will be there for my cousins and my surviving aunts and uncles, and I'll drive back for our "Memphis or Bust Benefit!"
Where do I get my blues from?

Much Love,
Shaun Booker Dammit!

Where I Come From
I was a little girl, with a big dream.
A little girl with a big voice and a big attitude.
I had to find a way to release that thing, that energy that was bigger than me.
That gift I was given since I was a little girl.
So I found out I could do that.
I was three.
And I got stuck on that thing, that energy.
Seeing the sisters in the church, their hats bobbing.
That little baby, that little baby got a little bit taller.
Pretty much
My voice got a little bit bigger.
My heart is definitely in it. And its always bigger.
I never forget where the power came from.
Where it comes from.
Its in you.
And its in me, too . . .

Zydeco Fans' Warm Embrace Beats The Cold Outside
A bitter night outside, but a warm, inviting evening with a cozy group at Zydeco on High last night. We tried out a number of our original songs, mixed with some great standards.
After the first set, my husband and I took the opportunity during the break to split some of the great jumbalaya that Miss Mozell Devereaux serves at her place, which opened first week of November. Zydeco's holds a special place in my heart because I was honored to played here the night Miss Mozell opened the doors to a capacity crowd.
A special treat last night was being joined on stage by my song writing partner of some 25 years, Lew Wexler.

We also had our new CDs and DVDs on hand, and a number of people bought copies. There is no feeling in the world that can compare with knowing that someone thinks enough of your music they want to take you home with them.
I'm taking it easy this afternoon after two long nights on stage, but I think back on last night . . . The crowd was small, but you would never know it by the enthusiasm, energy and love in the room!

Waking Up To A Snowy Morning; Zydeco Tonight
I'm looking outside and it is snowing and cold.
But the mood last night at LaScala was anything but! A warm and inviting bluesy jazzy series of sets early on with the Shaun Booker Band. The cozy lounge feel of that side of the place was perfect for the music and the mood. Then late night we heated things up in the main restaurant/bar area with the Paradise Island Band. You people can dance!
Thanks to everyone who came out to support both bands, and the dancers. I love the dancers who support us, no matter which band is onstage! Look for me and the guys in the Shaun Booker Band tonight at Zydeco on High! By the way, if you like great cajun food, Zydeoco's menu is to die for!
Hope to see you there!

BTW, I Won A Contest
I won a contest late last year, and I am headed to Memphis, Tenn. with my band. The guys and I will be there competing against the very best blues groups at the International Blues Challenge. We are representing Central Ohio in the competition!
Its hard for me to self promote (it is difficult to talk about myself and the band that way), but I'll be talking about the IBC more in future posts. We are raising money for the trip with a special fundraising performance on January 22 at Roadhouse 66 in the Worthington area of Columbus. And we are selling performance DVDs and CDs. Details will be coming on my website, http://www.shaunbooker.com/.
Memphis Or Bust! That's my motto these days. I will be writing about it a little more next week. I've got gigs tonight and tomorrow night and need to get ready for those.
For all of my long time fans, and whoever is new that I might pick up along the way, thanks for visiting my new blog and coming on this journey with me. I'm still figuring it out. But working without a net has been the way I do things. See you online or in a club soon!

LaScala Tonight; Zydeco Tomorrow!
Hey this is last minute -- and my first post on my new blog -- but catch me tonight at LaScala Restaurant in northwest Columbus (4190 W. Dublin-Granville Road). Kicking off, I'll be front and center with the Shaun Booker Band from 6:30 -9 PM. Then later, at 9:30 pm, I will be onstage with the Paradise Island Band until midnight. Something for everyone!
And tomorrow night I will be at Zydeco on High (515 S. High Street, Columbus) with the Shaun Booker Band. Whether your taste runs to Etta James or B.B. King, you will enjoy Saturday evening!
Both nights will be a great time.
Hope to see you there!
