The Audio that will load is a 15 minute medley from this year's Second Stage featuring
Midnight Shift's opening instrumental, Gretchen Emery & Dirty Boots doing "Try a Little Harder,"
and Dr. Harmonica & Rocket 88 with "Boop Boop Be Do."

Many thanks and our sincere gratitude goes out to DSBS' de facto official events photographer, Connie Dee Taylor, for her
tireless efforts memorializing this and all DSBS events. She is an outstanding photographer and we are lucky to enjoy the many fruits of her labors below.
Her's are the good pictures -- mine are the crappy ones (dang it!). Joe Neuberger

DSBS also wishes to thank our Guerilla-Blues Radio Roving Reporter, BluesGirl Kelli Tome for the use of her photographic efforts below.
Her pics have the "www.FullMoonBlues.com" designation in the lower right corner.

Finally, we wish to also thank that fair-haired lady from the Scoville Blues entourage, Carolyn Githens, for the use of her beautiful photos.

"THANK YOU!"
First and foremost, a GIANT "Thank You" goes out to the guys from "Arsenal" and "Major" Sound Companies: Pat, Junior, Howie, Mark and Mike and their crews, who ALWAYS go over and above and give that extra bit that makes this event the great American Blues showcase that it is. Rain or shine, the sound at the RBF is always the finest available. ALSO: The guys from the Bucks County Blues Society: Butch, Iggy, Mike, Uncle Al and the rest who help all weekend with the equipment changes between sets--without them it doesn't happen--it's that simple--THANKS GUYS!! To Bob Settelin, YOU are the BEST!! He's our Stage Manager and makes the impossible look easy--on loan each year, again, from the Bucks County Blues Society. Next, BIG thanks to our year-in and year-out announcer, Blues expert and writer for Blues Revue magazine, Tom Cullen, again, one of the BCBS boys! And last, but certainly not least, thanks, too, go out to the many DSBS members and volunteers who did the equipment changes between sets, manned the entrances, poured the brews, and assisted wherever they were needed.
THANKS TO YOU ALL!!

And, of course, NONE of this would be possible without the City of Wilmington, under the able leadership of The Honorable James M. Baker, Mayor. His people in the Cultural Affairs Office, led by Tina Betz, Beth Zimmerman and their staffs, bring a wonderful diversity of events to the citizens of Wilmington and beyond on a yearly basis, of which, the Riverfront Blues Festival is but one of many. Our hats are off to them and all the donors who make this "the best little festival that attracts the big-name talent" and one of the premier Blues festivals in the United States during the summer season! The finest artists in the world WANT to come to Wilmington, and this is due to the warm and friendly atmosphere and sincere "welcome mat" put out by the City of Wilmington and its able workers. Wilmington truly is "in the middle of it all!"
WE THANK THEM ALL FOR THEIR CONTINUING EFFORTS!
As the City's new slogan attests, we've become "The City of Festivals"
and DSBS is proud to be a small part of all of that!
