“Blues - The Music that
changed the
world”
2009 Black History
Month at the Illinois State Museum.
Pleasure Chest, led by Shane Denney,
presented a
program on
the history
of the blues
full of some
of the best
music I've
ever heard.
The band was
made up of
Shane Denney
on drums and
vocals;
Keith
Altevogt on
guitar and
vocals;
Steve Suter
on bass Bluesologist
Shane Denney
presented
the program
that traced
the
development
of blues
beginning in
Africa and
ending in
1965.
The
auditorium
provided for
the event
was great -
and the
theater
was full.
The program
ended with a
well-deserved
standing
ovation for
a job well
done. I
want to
personally
thank all
involved for
a fun-filled
afternoon of
our favorite
music. Hey
- they even
played my
all time
favorite
blues song -
"It Hurts Me
Too"
(really - it
does) by the
great Elmore
James. What
a treat!!

performed at Blue Monday.
This band high-energy band is made up of
consummate musicians. You won’t want to miss them!! The music was so much fun - and so good - and the
personalities were great, too. The rapport with the crowd was super. Their music
will entertain and delight your senses. These boys are performers in every sense
of the word.
