What exactly is I Made It!?
I Made It! is a regularly occurring, nomadic Market that provides the opportunity for young entrepreneurs to establish their businesses and to enjoy low barriers to bringing their wares to market in order to create successful businesses built on arts and crafts. The Market is an inclusive happening that welcomes artists or other “makers” in the Pittsburgh region to meet like-minded individuals, create new opportunities, and find a receptive environment in which to interact with and learn from each other.

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 25th 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?
