It's back

After a gap of some eighteen months, due to a major computer glitch and, it has to be said The Bluesfather's well-known computer incompetence, the website is back up and running thanks to Blues-son 1's mastery of the medium and some digging around with old email addresses and passwords. The Bluesfather is a simple man and wonders why this medium is so fiendishly difficult. For a while, well let's be honest, the aforementioned 18 months, The Bluesfather has felt like a character out of a novel by Franz Kafka or like Patrick McGoohan in the Prisoner. Still, it's good to be back. Expect some new developments on the site in the coming months. Meanwhile you can catch up with The Bluesfather's music on the Music page and his gigging activities opposite
