Bill Mr. Stress Miller

Sad news learned this evening that one of our 1st Class of Hall of Fame Inductee's has passed on. Bill Mr. Stress Miller passed peacefully in his home. It is hard to begin to quantify the impact of this news. So many bluesman have come and gone. Each has touched the souls of their fans in their travels. Cleveland Blues was synonymous with Mr. Stress. Not only did he play the blues but lived the blues right next to the rest of us. He was a part of our lives and community. He challenged us to be more than we were. He berated us that we could never compare to the ones that he played with and deprecated himself in his song and banter.

Online Tribute to Robert Jr. Lockwood

Tomorrow is Robert Jr.s Birthday! He would be 100 years young! Robert Jr's Music touched and inspired so many. His legacy lives in every blues musician that plays his music or emulates his style. Tonite the Lockwood Allstars assemble at the Beachland Ballroom to celebrate his life and music, as they do each year.

There are streets named for him, and Feb 3 was declared Robert Lockwood day, documentaries have been done on his life, his music lives on today through the continued play. Cleveland is a town of many influences and many factions. As the Cleveland Blues Society, our mission is to build awareness of this great art form, and the music and musicians. We are honored to be a part of this treasure.

As a tribute to the man and the music the Cleveland Blues Society invites you to post your own musical tribute to Robert Jr. "Play the blues"

CBS Volunteer Spotlight

By Teri Pealer

Blues Lovin’, Shutter Buggin’ Trio Lloyd Braun, Debra Eberly, & Martha Gunn Andrus
