Got this e-mail from the Ben Waters website:
--------------------------------------------

Hello!

Ben's mum here! Few bits of news for you.

The new ABC&D album "The ABC&D of Boogie Woogie - Live in Paris" will be launched at the Lincoln Center in New York on 28th June with a live concert followed by four live gigs at the legendary Iridium Club made famous by Les Paul.

There will be a solo tour in late autumn/early winter. This is still being arranged and details will be on the website soon.

Ben has been nominated for a British Blues Award (Keyboards). You can see the list of nominees and listen to their work, and vote, on [britishbluesawards.com]

Meanwhile, we're getting ready for tomorrow's gig at Watercombe - hope you can make it!

Thanks for all your support - it's very much appreciated.

All the best

Ann

Maybe you should put "OT" in the title or at least something about it being a Ben Waters album.

Well, it is about the new ABC&D live album as far as I can see, and as our Charlie is a member of that group, it's reasonably "Stones-related" I would say.

Awesome, looks great . I'm gonna grab it. thanks. peace

going to one of the Iridium shows...hopefully it will be better than MIck Taylor's performance at the same club earlier this year when he played for only 45 minutes! No doubt it will be since i avoided the "appearing with the Les Paul trio" night. The trio wouldnt leave the stage, they played longer than Mick!!

The forthcoming live CD is great. Much more accessible than the studio album recorded without Ben Waters.

GOT IT - today from amazon.

I'm pretty darn pumped - seeing them two nights in NYC. Taking my entire family to one of the shows. Good to expose the kids to something different!

Would love to interview CW for my blog...fat chance...

This new album is really good. The gigs were great. I was there every night at the first row. Charlie and all the members in the band were terrific every night. I do recommend this CD.
A DVD should be made…

Got it today. The album is really good and sound is excellent. It's been a long since I heard Charlie's drums with such clarity. Really recommended to any good music lover.
