BLIND RACCOON

Without Blind Raccoon there would be no reason to exist, no great Blues to promote on Radio BluesFlac, no Betsie to laugh with. Nothing.

I have “conversed” with many artists who have been delighted with being a Raccooner, my than a few are now friends.

If you hear great Blues on BluesFlac then it is a good bet it has been provided by Betsie and her Blind Raccoon.
