With Joe Pitts, Mike Dollins
& David Bishop June 2008.

Len Rainey, Chicago Bluesman living in San
Diego, CA now, stopped by Little Rock,
Arkansas two years ago this month. We
put on a show at Studio Joe's, with Joe
Pitts, David Bishop and Myself.   Len and
I spent over 25 years gigging together on
the West Coast, and he still has the core
of our band he now calls the Midnight
Players.    The show we all did in Little
Rock, was an off the charts blues
evening, with folks still talking about it
two years later.   Check out Len's tunes,
and visit his web sites. You'll thank me
later.   by Mike Dollins
