“I THOUGHT I HEARD ELLIOTT BAY”
by RAYMOND BARROW

Northwest blues scholar Raymond Barrow has spent most of the waking hours of his adult life researching the details behind pre-rock & roll northwest blues legends, “Joe & Okes”. These visionaries, along with their contemporaries, cultivated a unique music style, climaxing in a frenzy known as “Jokermania".

“I Thought I Heard Elliott Bay” is the presentation of Raymond Barrow’s story and the musical works mentioned. Brad Harrington will read excerpts from the story. Legendary NW sound engineer Kearney Barton will be announcing the song selections as radio personality Barney K. The music will be performed by Jack Cook on guitar, jazzhorn & vocals, Hugh Sutton on piano, accordion & vocals, Al Farlow on clarinet & baritone saxophone, John Marshall on harmonica & vocals Steve Branca on bass and Dave Hudson on drums.
