The Art Of the Blues. The Karmic Canvas:
An Interview with Michael Maness
by Maureen Elizabeth

Michael Maness paints a colorful picture – especially when he tells his life story. The 2009 winner of the “Keeping the Blues Alive” award for Art and Photography, whose friends and fans are a veritable palette of blues musicians, talked with me about his life, his art and the karmic canvas on which he paints.

June 18, 2010 - The latest interview... a blog by the Marketing Director of the Oak Ridge Boys.

After a devastating illness, Michael Maness decided to paint his black and white world with the brushstrokes of a rainbow. That one decision changed his life—and the lives of many others. Now, his brightly-colored artwork graces the walls of art lovers around the world. And his charity work has positively affected countless more. He is also making an impact on the music business with his “cool-aborations” and painted guitars.

If you like colorful canvases—and colorful personalities—you will love Michael Maness.

January 17, 2010 - NEWS OF THE BETTER

It has been 4 days since my MOM's Knee Replacement Surgery and the Stroke she had as a complication to the operation. GOOD NEWS, is the Stroke was a little one, and she is recovering better, and faster than expected. The Knee Replacement is giving her a Great deal of Pain, as expected, and she will need some In house Rehab, at the Baptist Desoto's Rehab center before she can move on to my Sister, Rita's, and subsequently back to Her home.

Thanks for the prayers, please keep them up

Mike

January 1, 2010 - Happy New Year & Merry Christmas to all!

January, could, and should be very exciting for my MOM and me. January 12, my MOM is having Knee Replacement Surgery, on her left knee. The week of January 18, is the International Blues Challenge, the BEST of the NEW Blues players in the World, and The Orpheum Dinner, at which, at both events, I'm to receive an award.

In February, I begin a NEW chemo, could be interesting, I expect I'll be getting a lot of sleep. Hopefully by March, I'll be able to claim that I am a 5 time Cancer Survivor.
