Grandparents: on her mother’s side, Irene and Miguel Dantas (deceased); on her father’s side, Margot and George Easton Aldridge II (deceased).

Character Background: Veronica Dantas Aldridge (V/Vee for close friends) was born and raised in Brazil and she’s British descendant. She’s the only daughter of businessman George Easton Aldridge III, who left his life of luxury in London behind to marry Mariana Dantas and live in Brazil. He died when she was two during a car accident. She was raised on a ranch by her grandparents and mother and had a happy childhood playing with other kids, climbing mango and guava trees, helping take care of animals. 

She learned how to play guitar at school and begged for months until she finally got her first acoustic guitar on Christmas. She continued her guitar lessons at home and learned how to play electric guitar and bass when she was 14. A few months later, she moved with her mother to Cambridge and had several conflicts with her father’s family because they didn’t accept her not so lady-like manners (though they mostly had a problem with her sexuality). After her grandfather died, she finally cut ties with them.

Her time in Cambridge made her dedicate herself to music and her major Psychology. She joined a band called Killer Doctors while working as a bartender to pay the bills. With Hamid’s help, she got a job as A-level tutor for a few years, which helped her pay for her Cornell graduate tuition. During her tutoring years, she met Daphne, Briar and Bartholomew and became friends with them. 

Best Childhood Memory: Waking up early on weekends to join her grandparents to help with house chores at the ranch (she loved taking care of the animals), swimming on the lakes nearby and playing with other kids.

Ethnicity: Latina/Caucasian

Eye Color: Brown

Hair Color: Brown

Skin color: Light beige

Greatest flaws: overconfident, blunt, audacious

Best qualities: perceptive, open minded, compassionate , independent

Sexuality: lesbian

Relationship status: in a relationship

Love Interests: Annabelle Parsons

What initially attracted her to her partner?

They’ve seen each other a couple of times, but didn’t think Annabelle had noticed her until she came to talk to her. Though Annabelle was drunk, she was astounded by how Annabelle’s gray eyes gleamed when she smiled. She also loves Annabelle's acid sense of humor.

Relationships background: She had several girlfriends, a few groups, but nothing serious.

Close Friends: Hamid Osmanoglu, Yusuf Konevi, Daphne Wang (MC/f!OC), Bartholomew Chambers, Alisha Hastings (f!OC), Briar Daly, Luke Harper, Cordelia Parsons.

How does she express affection?

Very friendly, shameless flirt, very into hugs and kisses on the cheek.  

Does she have/want children?

Yes. But she’d either seek adoption, surrogacy or her partner would bear the child. She doesn’t picture herself pregnant.

Pets: an Arabian horse named Morena.

Does she have a temper? 

No. It’s really hard for her to get mad. 

Does she exercise? 

She goes to the gym sometimes, mostly she likes dancing classes and yoga.

One random headcanon: Veronica had sinusitis and a lot of trouble breathing during cold days after she moved to the UK. When she finally had some extra money, she did a septoplasty and went back to Brazil to rest for a while before she went to the US to enroll in Cornell Psychology Graduate Program. Some of her friends had trouble recognizing her after the surgery.

Brief description

On stage, her expressions are easy to read, she has a knack for dancing, or simply grooving to the beat while playing guitar or keyboards. Jane Blair was classical trained as a cellist in her local orchestra, took piano and vocal lessons outside secondary school, although her dances were self-taught ever since she was a little kid. She's also described as a woman with not just 'powerful' vocals without straining her voice, but holds a wide range. Her vocals are known for being warm and breathy, although she has songs where she sounded rich and dark, strong and rapsy in others, and hints of cooing in her higher registers.

After her involvement with her secondary school's orchestra, she was one of the singers in an doo-wap girl group called The Peppermints, which didn't last long. It only lasted a year in the early 60s due to her departure from the band. Not exactly because her ego was too big for the group of five, but more so over bad management and refusing to make 'bubblegum pop' music. Ever since, she broke out as a solo artist, familarizing herself with rock n' roll mixed with blues in England. No one said it'd be easy for her, not even she'd deny the difficults of being a female musician in a male-dominated scene.

[global-news-station]

LONDON/BERLIN/MILAN: It’s tough to do any useful work when you’re stuck at home, struggling to home-school bickering kids, let alone when you’re trying to produce a COVID-19 vaccine.

British drugmaker AstraZeneca had spent years preparing for a pandemic, but when the moment finally came it was caught cold on a crucial front: stressed parents working from home struggled to focus.

So the company recruited up to 80 teachers to run online lessons and repurposed a car parking app to book virtual classes. It also lined up personal tutoring and helped to locate some childcare spaces for those battling to adapt to the abrupt change to their lives.

The move by Britain’s biggest drugmaker, and similar efforts by companies the world over to host everything from magic classes to yoga for children, shows the lengths businesses are going to to help staff work through the coronavirus crisis.

“It was quite apparent that it was going to be really challenging for those with small kids and with two parents working,” AstraZeneca’s HR chief Fiona Cicconi told Reuters.

“People were starting to say they were feeling really anxious, I’ve got so much to do, how am I going to get it done?”

The new corporate attitude towards home-working could help lead to higher productivity and loyalty, according to experts, and ease moves towards more flexible working as companies rethink whether staff need to be in the office, and as schools take time to return to normal.

‘I’M DISTRACTED FOR SURE’

The march of the pandemic has upended normal life, forcing companies to shut offices, schools to close and grandparents and childcare providers to stay away.

That has left many exhausted parents juggling work demands while helping their children with school work to prevent them from falling behind or spending too much time online, not to mention having to feed, entertain and care for them.

German business software company SAP provided online lessons on magic, coding, yoga, guitar and break dancing for children of staff.

It is now working on a more formalised schooling scheme with a partner organisation, which will pair children of staff with students, and also offer activities through the summer holiday.

Thomas Angerstein, EMEA head of the SAP department responsible for providing “mission critical” support to customers, said the magic classes had helped his eight-year-old son, and consequently helped him too.

“I could focus on my team,” he said. “Usually he is hovering around and looking at my screen and I’m distracted for sure.”

In Italy, tyre maker Pirelli teamed up with local company Radiomamma.it to provide online education and entertainment for children, with classes in English, creativity and technology the most popular.

Rosaria Demma Carà, who works in Pirelli’s Financial Statements division, said the classes had helped her 10-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter interact with their peers, relieving the social blackout of lockdown.

“(It also helped) us get on with some work.”

‘THEY’RE OFFERING – WHY AREN’T YOU?’

Esther Canónico, from the London School of Economics, said companies needed to prioritise supporting their staff in different ways because any return to normality would take time, and flexible, long-distance working was likely here to stay.

Supportive measures should, however, not be seen as an attempt to persuade staff to work harder, especially when those working from home can struggle to manage boundaries with work life, and end up working for much longer, she added.

“There is not a clear differentiating line between work and home,” she said of the new environment. “The advice is for employees to actively manage their boundaries.”

Companies, for their part, see offering such services as good business sense in terms of operational resilience.

AstraZeneca, for example, knew it had to act when a survey found that 1,100 of its 8,300 staff in the country needed help with childcare.

A plan to recruit freelance teachers was inspired by a former teacher who worked in the company’s HR department and it was backed by CEO Pascal Soriot, with the whole process signed off in a matter of hours.

Launched in May, it offers four lessons a day to up to 1,300 children who have registered. Separately it has lined up a tutoring company that provides one-on-one sessions.

The tutoring firm, EB Education, said it had since been asked by another company in the drugmaker’s home town of Cambridge if they could provide a similar service.

“The other company have had a few of their workers saying: AstraZeneca are offering this so why aren’t you? So they put something in place,” EB’s Karen McGillicuddy told Reuters.

For now AstraZeneca, which has been licensed to produce a potential vaccine for COVID-19, is expanding its support. It has introduced new classes for different age groups and is looking at a summer school.

HR chief Cicconi said staff had been incredibly grateful, during what is an extraordinary time.

“They know it’s not normal for us to run three primary schools,” she added.

Top 25 Contemporary Acoustic Blues Guitarists

Modern Acoustic Blues finds contemporary artists reviving the older, more country-derived styles of blues in its myriad strains. The form places a great deal of emphasis on instrumental expertise, providing the genre with some astounding players who do more than merely replicate older styles.

So how do I propose to rank the best 25 Acoustic Blues Guitarists in the world?  Well, I’m going to dodge the issue a bit.

I’m going to put down 25 guitarists that have dominated the field. But I will refrain from ranking them #1, #2, #3, etc.  I think that’s as close as I can get.  I’m sure you’ll discover some great inspiration for both listening and learning from.

Add other worthy players to the comments below so that the list is truly complete. Thanks!

Here We Go…

  Keb’ Mo’

Guitarist/vocalist Keb’ Mo’ draws heavily on the old-fashioned country blues style of Robert Johnson while keeping his sound contemporary with touches of soul and folksy storytelling. A skilled frontman as well as an accomplished sideman, he writes much of his own material and has applied his acoustic, electric, and slide guitar skills to jazz- and rock-oriented bands.

There’s a lot of material to choose from when listening to Russ, but a popular song to start with is “Everybody Be Yoself”.

More info on Keb’ Mo’.

  Seasick Steve

Steven Gene Wold, commonly known as Seasick Steve, is an American blues musician. He plays mostly personalized guitars and sings, usually about his early life doing casual work. Like T-Model Ford, Seasick Steve began recording his own music much later in life than other musicians. In the 1960s, Wold started touring and performing with fellow blues musicians, and had friends in the music scene including Joni Mitchell. He spent time living in San Francisco. Since then, he has worked, on and off, as a session musician and studio engineer.

To get a sense of his style, listen to

“Summertime Boy”.More info on Seasick Steve.

Jimbo Mathus

Jim “Jimbo” Mathus first gained fame as the co-founder of the retro-swing outfit the Squirrel Nut Zippers. But after the group’s messy breakup, he went on to a prolific career as a guitarist, songwriter, and producer, defining his own brand of revved-up blues and roots music. Using a variety of stage names, including James Mathus, Jas Mathus, Jimbo “Hambone” Mathus, and Jimbo Mathus, he first began stepping out on his own as a sideman with one-time Zippers’ violinist Andrew Bird.

Check him out playing

“Shine Like a Diamond”.More info on Jimbo Mathus.

Taj Mahal

Henry Saint Clair Fredericks (born May 17, 1942), who uses the stage name Taj Mahal, is an American blues musician. He often incorporates elements of world music into his works. A self-taught singer-songwriter and film composer who plays the guitar, piano, banjo and harmonica (among many other instruments), Mahal has done much to reshape the definition and scope of blues music over the course of his almost 50-year career by fusing it with nontraditional forms, including sounds from the Caribbean, Africa and the South Pacific.

One of my favorite is his

“Fishin’ Blues”.More info on Taj Mahal.

Kelly Joe Phelps

Vancouver, Washington-based guitarist, singer, and songwriter Kelly Joe Phelps continues to expand the parameters of modern blues through his strong commitment to literary songs and his expressive yet simple guitar stylings. While casual listeners may call Phelps a bluesman, his playing is so fluid, dexterous, and improvised he obviously has the soul of a jazz musician. Kelly Joe Phelps grew up in Sumner, Washington, a blue-collar farming town. He learned country and folk songs, as well as drums and piano, from his father. He began playing guitar at age twelve.

Check out this tune “I’ve Been Converted” by Kelly Joe Phelps.

More info on Kelly Joe Phelps.

Corey Harris

Corey Harris has earned substantial critical acclaim as one of the few contemporary bluesmen able to channel the raw, direct emotion of acoustic Delta blues without coming off as an authenticity-obsessed historian. Although he is well versed in the early history of blues guitar, he’s no well-mannered preservationist, mixing a considerable variety of influences — from New Orleans to the Caribbean to Africa — into his richly expressive music.

“Catfish Blues”is one of his super creation which I like so much.

More info on Corey Harris.

Cephas & Wiggins

The duo of acoustic guitarist John Cephas and harpist Phil Wiggins enjoyed a partnership spanning several decades, during which time they emerged among contemporary music’s most visible exponents of the Piedmont blues tradition. Their music, rooted in the rural African-American dance music of Virginia and North Carolina, showed the influence of Blind Boy Fuller, Gary Davis, and Sonny Terry, with a broad repertoire consisting of Piedmont blues standards as well as an eclectic sampling of Delta stylings, R&B, ballads, ragtime, gospel, and country & western; onward from their 1984 debut, Sweet Bitter Blues, Cephas & Wiggins’ sound applied sophisticated traditional instrumentation and modern gospel-edged vocals to both traditional standards and their own hard-hitting compositions, offering a soulful acoustic option to electric blues.

Check out their tune “Richmond Blues” and you’ll sense the scope of their playing.

More info on Cephas & Wiggins.

Ted Hawkins 

Overseas, he was a genuine hero, performing for thousands. But on his L.A. home turf, sand-blown Venice Beach served as Ted Hawkins’ makeshift stage. He’d deliver his magnificent melange of soul, blues, folk, gospel, and a touch of country all by his lonesome, with only an acoustic guitar for company. Passersby would pause to marvel at Hawkins’ melismatic vocals, dropping a few coins or a greenback into his tip jar.

He created many good tunes. One of my favorite is his

“Sorry You’re Sick”.More info on Ted Hawkins.

Chris Smither

William Christopher Smither is an American folk/blues singer, guitarist, and songwriter. His music draws deeply from the blues, American folk music, and modern poets and philosophers. By 1969, after living in several places around Cambridge, Smither moved to Garfield Street in Cambridge and often visited Dick Waterman’s house where Fred McDowell, Son House and other blues musicians were known to congregate. It was there that Smither first performed his song “Love You Like a Man” for Waterman’s friend, Bonnie Raitt.

Check out his

“Link Of Chain”.More info on Chris Smither.

Preacher Boy

Christopher Watkins, a twenty-something rocker from the San Francisco Bay area, is turning a whole new generation of teenage and twenty-something alternative rock fans on to the eternal hipness of the blues. Watkins, who uses the stage name Preacher Boy, is backed on his club shows around the Bay area and other parts of the West Coast by his band Natural Blues.

One of his great creation is

“Setting Sun”.More info on Preacher Boy.

East River String Band

Eden and John’s East River String Band are a New York City-based duo who play country blues from the 1920s and  1930s. The members are John Heneghan (guitar, mandolin and vocals) and Eden Brower (ukulele and vocals).The duo often have other musicians sit in with them, including Dom Flemons (formerly of Carolina Chocolate Drops), Pat Conte (of the Canebreak Rattlers and Otis Brothers) and Robert Crumb (of the Cheap Suit Serenaders).

Check out their “Rolling Log Blues”.

Eric Clapton

Eric Patrick Clapton, CBE, is an English rock and blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: once as a solo artist and separately as a member of the Yardbirds and Cream.

Check out this tune of “Wonderful Tonight”.

View more on Eric Clapton.

David Allen Slater

David Allen Slater is a multi-talented singer/songwriter, composer and graphic artist who successfully released his self-produced debut CD, Influenced, on August 15, 2009. Gaining exposure for his music through the web, David was asked to participate in the Windows 7 collaboration with ReverbNation just 2 months after the release of his first album. His song, Run Away, was distributed through this collaboration on Playlist7 and branded with the Windows 7 logo.

Check out his “Swim”.

Chris Thomas King

Chris Thomas King (born October 14, 1962 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana) is an American blues musician and actor. He is the son of blues musician Tabby Thomas. In the 2000 movie O’ Brother, Where Art Thou?, he played legendary bluesman Tommy Johnson. On the “O Brother…” soundtrack he plays Skip James’ “Hard Time Killing Floor Blues”. In the 2004 movie Ray, he played bandleader Lowell Fulson. He has also appeared in several documentaries about the blues and about music.

I’ve been listening his many songs, but my my personal favorite is “Hard Time Killing Floor Blues”.

View more on Chris Thomas King.

Guy Davis

Guy Davis (born May 12, 1952) is an American blues guitarist and banjo player, and actor. He is the eldest child and the only son of the late actors Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis. Davis says his blues music is inspired by the southern speech of his grandmother. Though raised in the New York City area, he grew up hearing accounts of life in the rural south from his parents and especially his grandparents, and they made their way into his own stories and songs. Davis taught himself the guitar (never having the patience to take formal lessons) and learned by listening to and watching other musicians.

I love to listen his tune of

“Matchbox Blues”.View more on Guy Davis.

Bjørn Berge

Bjørn Berge takes the Blues and Rock to the next level! He performs with and without band. You wouldn’t notice the difference. The man is a band on his own.
