As many of you know, Ms. Ruby Wilson "The Queen of Beale Street" suffered a stroke Jan. 1, 2009. She is recovering well. In the meantime, she is having a very difficult time financially. So, in conjunction with the Corey Osborn Let the Music Play Fund and B.B. King’s Blues Club in Memphis, there will be a benefit party for Ruby on April 21. Festivities start around 7:30 p.m.
An amazing roster of the generous Memphis entertainment community appearing, including:
Bobby “Blue” Bland
The Beale Street Flippers
Brian “Breeze” Cayolle
Joyce Cobb
DeltaCappella
The Dempseys
Kallen Esperian
Billy Gibson
The Kattawar Brothers
Rusty Lemmon
Niko Lyras

...and more to come!

A limited-edition CD -- “The Best of Ruby Wilson” -- on sale that night and available for Ruby to autograph
As much as this event will honor Ruby, it will also pay tribute to the brilliant young guitarist Corey Osborn, who died in a car accident in November. His parents have created a fund to assist Memphis musicians in times of need, and Ruby will be one of the primary recipients of the money raised on April 21.
Join us on April 21 for a great night, and please forward this to all your friends. Tickets are $20 at the door, or you can purchase them on Ticketweb.com ( http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=1238794 ).
