Recently I emailed Rob 'The Honeydripper' Paparozzi to keep him up to date with Blues Brothers Central.
Here are some of the highlights of his reply:

Hi Chris,

Boy!!!!!!!!!!! The site is really Kickin' some Ass!!..looks terrific!
I'd never seen the Avoine footage...I loved it!!

I'll try and print the mock up CD cover and show the the boysz next week in Vegas, maybe it'll inspire them to make a new record!,-)
I'll also look around for some pix or footage etc.

Here's a Heads up.....For the first time EVER since the original Jake &
Elwood, the band will use "2" front men, that's right!! Me and Pipes will do the Vegas gig "together" ....don't ask me who's Jake or Elwood as we haven't yet figured that out,-)))......

Me & Tommy have been itchin' to do this for a LONG time....so we'll keep y'all posted...

keep up the super-work on the site, we love it, we NEED it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love & Peace,
Rob "The Honeydripper" Paparozzi

SAD NEWS

This gig has been cancelled due to 'reasons beyond our control', whatever that means.

Sorry to anyone who was planning on going to it. Hopefully they will reschedule it for another date. Keep checking this site for more updates.
