As a blues enthusiast myself I can honestly say that The?Grand County Blues Society hosted such a good time last year for the performers and audience that I and everyone I?ve spoken to, who was there, noticed a distinct and week-long spiritual high. ?Bob Margolin credited not only a confluence of the thin air, hospitality, gorgeous mountains, and friendly folks but the blues music itself. ?Blues music lovers all know that performing and listening to blues music is the cure for blues. ?It?s a sensual pleasure that can give us relief even in real tough times. ?Blues music is refreshing, recharging, and healing. ?Like hope.
