Art of Aging Celebration featuring the Muddy Waters Band with special guest David “Honeyboy” Edwards

On Friday, September 28, 2007, Ursuline Senior Services will close its 25^th Anniversary Year with a special evening of music and artistry featuring The Muddy Waters Band with Special Guest David “Honeyboy� Edwards. Complimenting Ursuline’s 25-year history of caring for older and vulnerable neighbors throughout the Pittsburgh area, the Art of Aging Celebration will provide an opportunity to focus on the continuing creativity and productivity of local seniors, while offering a retrospective on the importance of the Blues genre and its contribution to all forms of music over the last 60 years. The Legend of the Blues performance is the same performance that was featured last year as part of the sold out “Legends of the Blues� show presented at Lincoln Center in New York City. The event will be held in the Music Hall and Music Hall Foyer of Carnegie Museum.

The Muddy Waters Band is excited and eager to continue giving the world the music that they helped make famous. The band features original members “Pinetopâ€Â? Perkins (piano/vocals), “Steady Rollinâ€Â? Bob Margolin (lead guitar/vocals), Calvin “Fuzz” Jones (bass guitar/vocals), George “Mojoâ€Â? Buford (vocals/harmonica), and Willie “Big Eyesâ€Â? Smith (drums/harmonica/vocals). The event will also feature 92 year old blues legend, David “HoneyBoyâ€Â? Edwards who will be opening the evening, giving listeners a contrast between electric and acoustic blues.
