That should position us well for recruiting real sponsorship & grants to properly fund the establishment & promotion of the first ever International Blues Music Day.

The formula for the annual advertised date will be the first Saturday in August beginning with the inaugural IBMD events on August 3, 2013.. Facebook petition reaches 10,000 members! First major goal of getting ten thousand people from around the world, to join the FB petition group has been reached!
