In an e-mail to the Festival yesterday Smiling Jack Smith says that he is busy breaking in a new bass player and working this week at one of his favorite spots in Madrid , La Coquette , as a duo with
Antonio Toledo
Antonio Toledo
guitarist Antonio Toledo , a real monster he says.

He goes on to say "I am (also) really involved with a musical community on the web called garageband.com, if you go there click on the blues section and you will find me and lots of other interesting players.

Hope you are well and happy.

Smiling Jack Smith".

Jack has been a regular correspondent with the Festival since his appearance at the 2004 event and we are hoping he will be back soon, maybe in 2006.
