Joined once again by the Original Blues Brothers Band members Tom "Bones" Malone and "Blue" Lou Marini for Performances and Q&A with the young musicians of Kitwe, Zambia!
Sponsored by U.S. Embassy, Lusaka, Arts Envoys, American Voices and Arts Embassy International
Day 1 - Professionalism & Networking
It's not just what you know, it's who you know

After an introductory performance by the 3 panelists, the floor was open for Q&A with the budding artists in Zambia's Copper Belt region.
Forging a career as long and durable as these two cats is nothing to shake a stick at! And participants were thrilled to be able to pick their brains (plus my occasional two-cents).
Positive attitude
The importance of preparation and practice (and punctuality!)
"following the bread crumb trail"...
Just a few highlights from this beautiful exchange with a room full of wonderful young musicians.
