Bonus Podcast: Chesapeake Bay Blues Fest Reminiscing

<p>In this month's podcast with the beer gurus at <strong><a href= "http://bit.ly/GreatestBeers">Katcef Brothers</a></strong> we changed it up a bit and headed over to Katcef's conference room for a conversation about the end of an era!</p> <p>On April 8th, we got word that this year would be the final year for the <strong><a href="http://bit.ly/EOABayBlues">Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival</a></strong>. For nearly 25-years, Don Hooker has brought the blues to the Bay with the help of Neal Katcef, the owner of Katcef Brothers. We take a walk down memory lane to the first festival, some favorite stories, favorite acts, and the divas.  And we found out the "why" as well. </p> <p>With a very successful computer company under his belt, Don felt the need to give back to the community. That is why the event donates all profits to local non-profits and why it is nearly 100% volunteer. And this is exactly why Katcef Brothers became involved in 1998 as giving back to the community is part of the fabric of their organization as well. </p> <p>And of course, we took a dive into this year's festival which will be epic (despite Don's daughter Sarah not allowing him to have fireworks) with some surprises to come.  Tickets are available at <strong><a href= "http://bit.ly/EOABayBlues">BayBlues.org</a></strong></p> <p>Have a listen!</p>
