Caliente Contest
The undisputed king of electric
blues is scheduled to play to a
packed audience Friday night at
Centennial Hall.

BB King is one of the most well-
known living blues musicians in
the world, and certainly the most
famous person to ever come out
of the tiny town of Itta Bena,
Miss.

The 2000 census pegged Itta
Bena's population at about 4,000
residents living within a 1.5
square mile area.

Yet the town still managed to
make it into the 2000 Coen
brothers film, "O Brother, Where
Art Thou?"

In the movie, a notorious
gangster terrorizing the the
Deep South stops George
Clooney's character Everett and
his crew and asks them how to
get to Itta Bena.

Name the gangster and the
actor who played him for a
chance to win a set of three
cookbooks.

Nancy McCallion CD Release Party-Benefit for Primavera
The Hut
305 N. Fourth Ave
Info: Singer/songwriter, folk, rock and country. Proceeds to benefit the Primavera Foundation. 21 and over. FOR ONLINE ONLY: Nancy McCallion is best known as the songwriter and vocalist for Tucsons' original Celtic-Norteno- folk-rock cult band The Mollys. Currently she heads up the honky-tonk dance band The Last Call Girls with rowdy originals and classic covers delivered with a twist. And quietly, while her fans weren't watching, she snuck in the studio and is ready to deliver what may be the finest recording of her career. McCallions' new solo effort is backed by award winning musicians. "Take a Picture of Me" showcases a different direction for the world-class songwriter; her signature bemused and hardnosed love songs are absent. Here she evokes a haunted feeling of life lived small, sharp and dark tales of loss; provocative, spare and edgy lyrics, music and production. The CD was inspired by a photography show at the University of Arizona Student Union in 2007. "Unseen America,” a traveling, national documentary exhibit program of the Bread and Roses Cultural Project featured photos and essays by the working poor. McCallion wrote the title track “Take a Picture of Me” the night after viewing the exhibit, then she set the song aside for over two years. A long-time local schoolteacher, McCallion was laid off from work last summer. Facing all the decisions that accompany potential economic collapse provided the inspiration to complete the CD project; she unearthed the title track and wrote the rest of the project in less than a month. The CD cover features photos from the exhibit, taken by homeless day laborers in Tucson. McCallion was eventually rehired and, grateful for the reprieve from slipping through those ever- widening social cracks, dedicated a portion of the CD sales to The Primavera Foundation, assisting people transitioning out of poverty. The new CD will be available for a special low price at the Primavera Benefit.
