Little Milton at the Blues Foundation & Me

My #throwbackthursday back to 2015 my #breakingandentering🚨 #bluesrock album was #ragingtheblues across radio stations #aroundtheworld 🌎Many people we’re getting their first introduction to #ElizaNeals version of #DetroitBlues, I planned a trip to the @bluesfoundation in #Memphis to introduce myself to all the people I heard on the radio many of them #musicheroes of mine. #MemphisinMay it’s called and go if you can cause the party doesn’t stop lol. Anyway the #BluesFoundation had a giant party and they just opened the #HallOfFame and #bluesmuseum right on Main Street across from the #nationalcivilrightsmuseum. On the 7th they unveiled their #LittleMilton statue and he is captured so beautifully I had to look into his eyes and ask him to play a song on his #ES335 #🎸 I remember it like it was yesterday. #FASTForward to 2020 after three more albums five singles and a million miles in #planestrainsandautomobiles I received an email of a #photograph of a brick 🧱 not any ordinary brick but one that sits in the ground somewhere in the entry to this very #museum 🙌🏽 “Eliza Neals Detroit Blues-Rock Voice of New Blues” 💥 I’m in shock 💥 Thank You very much for the #musiclove from #musiclovers to do such a gesture to honor me in this way 💙 I’m humbled and appreciate you out there for helping me become more exposed to the #musiccommunity around the world. I’m having a hard time writing this …but want you to know what I put down on a recording is a gift from me to the world forever 💝 🎁 #ILoveYou #ThankYou xxo Eliza
