Phenomenal Funk / Blues Guitar Player *Sir Harrison Band* at Chars has the Blues in Phoenix
Sir Harrison Band at Chars has the Blues in Phoenix Arizona. Following great verbiage taken from *Sound Bites Grill* in Sedona.
Born and raised in Tucson, Harrison Begay is full-blood Dine' (Navajo), and he started playing guitar at the age of thirteen. Experimenting with the sounds of heavy metal, rock, and classical, it would be the soulful melodies of blues music that would capture his attention. Sir Harrison played behind closed doors trying to understand the essence of blues music and the importance of the field as a whole. His chief inspirations include Robert Johnson, Buddy Guy, Hound Dog Taylor, Albert Collins, Albert King, Freddy King, BB King, Robert Cray and Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Art Patience on 2/17/18
Born in 1961, Art grew up frequently attending opera house concerts listening to his mother sing magnificently with the Seattle Symphony Choral. By the age of 16 he had been to over 40 concerts yet by the age of 11 was already inspired to learn to play the harmonica. Starting with “Oh, Susanna”, Art learned every campfire folk song he could, and by the time he was 20 he was studying harmonica greats like Lee Oskar, Sonny Terry, and Little Walter.In 1981, Art majored in music at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA studying Blues history, composition, theory, harmonica, recording arts, and live performance by forming his first nightclub 5-piece R & B band. “The Midnight Rhythm Band” played 3 years at venues throughout western Washington, recording for college compilations, and playing live on KAOS radio. During this time, Art recorded his first harmonica instrumental, a high-energy Rock-a-Billy tune called “Black Dog Stomp”, which enjoyed local airplay.
After more than a decade of playing in Northwest R & B bands, life drew Art to Arizona in the early nineties where he lent his harmonica talents to the high-powered Blues band “Blue Z”. There, in the venues of Northern Arizona, Patience pushed his limits to create the raw – yet soulful – player he is today. The band played full time at venues including Chars Has The Blues and The Rhythm Room in Phoenix, as well as recorded a soundtrack for a PBS travel documentary “Planet Of Dreams” with Kris Kristopherson as musical co-writer.
Returning to the Northwest in the mid-nineties Art began performing regularly with world-renown pianist Scott Cossu. Challenged by Scott’s innovative song writing, Art expanded his techniques and repertoire by milestones. Boasting nearly 200 shows with Scott in 20 years, Art has learned the “ins and outs” of touring and performing live in well-known venues such as Jazz Alley in Seattle, The Sheridan Opera House in Telluride, Swallow Hill in Denver, and The Steamplant Performing Arts Center in Salida, CO. In addition, Art is featured on Scott’s “Jazz, Boogie, And Deja’ Blues” recording on Summit Records.
Throughout Art’s musical career he has continued to write instrumentals and in 1999, inspired by the ambient tones of the harmonica and the sounds of nature, he recorded his first solo album “Spirit Of The Woods” on the Howlin’ Dog record label, gaining regional Colorado attention. After listening to the album, Lee Oskar invited Art to join his harmonica sponsorship program while quoting, “Art’s harmonica sings straight from the heart”.
Art’s performance will include music from his album The Recognition along with some blues tunes and improvs.

Phoenix flights cancelled because it's too hot for planes
As temperatures climb in Phoenix, Arizona, more than 40 flights have been cancelled - because it is too hot for the planes to fly.
The weather forecast for the US city suggests temperatures could reach 120F (49C) on Tuesday.
That is higher than the operating temperature of some planes.
American Airlines announced it was cancelling dozens of flights scheduled to take off from Sky Harbor airport during the hottest part of the day.
The local Fox News affiliate in Phoenix said the cancellations mostly affected regional flights on the smaller Bombardier CRJ airliners, which have a maximum operating temperature of about 118F (48C).
The all-time record for temperatures in Phoenix is just slightly higher, at 122F, which hit on 26 June 1990.
The cancelled flights were scheduled to take off between 15:00 and 18:00 local time.
Why can't planes fly?
At higher temperatures, air has a lower density - it is thinner. That lower air density reduces how much lift is generated on an aircraft's wings - a core principle in aeronautics.
That, in turn, means the aircraft's engines need to generate more thrust to get airborne.
It's a well-known problem - a 2016 report from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) even warned that higher temperatures caused by climate change could have severe consequences for aircraft take-off performance, where high altitudes or short runways limit the payload or even the fuel-carrying capacity.
Those problems are why many countries in the Middle East, and some high-altitude airports in South America, tend to schedule long flights for the evening or night, when it is cooler.

First test case of new camera, my apologies for excess zooming (camera has 30X optical zoom), just feeling out the camera. Couldn't hold it on target for the real tight shots, like the close-up of the guitar hands. Camera hand held, no post stabilizing.
