WOW! Catching up with these two is almost impossible!  But, I did speak with the lovely and gracious Bobbie for many hours, and these are some of the things that are important to them .... Blues, Blues, and some more Blues!

    Both Errol and Bobbie Shervey served the CBA as Board Members, volunteers, and just about any other capacity you can think of!  Errol and Bobbie helped to start many educational programs here in Portland, starting with Blues In Schools, and including clinics, workshops, and other presentations by outstanding Blues performers.  They tirelessly advocated Acoustic and Traditional Blues, as CBA agents, and in the Blues radio programs that Errol has been airing on KBOO (90.7 FM) for many years. Errol is also a strong supporter of Chicago Blues, and he and Bobbie have hosted many fine Chicago and Traditional Blues artists over the years.

    Errol and Bobbie Shervey have chosen to dedicate their very lives to the support and promotion of the Blues, and Portland is a much better place for their efforts.

This Top 20 Recordings list was compiled by former CBA President Errol Shervey, host of Boogie in the Dark, on-air every other Saturday from Midnight - 3:00 AM on KBOO   FM 90.7 .  This list was first published in the December 1999 BluesNotes.
