Musician cures curbside blues
By Tammy Batey
EmeiakJ Repoctec
Students rush around t IIh Avenue. seeking
that elusive text at the bookstore, extracting cash
from an automatic tidier mat him* or pursuing the
day's first cup of coffee
Hut whatever the errand, they are usually not
too busy to stop for a few minutes to listen to the
man at the curb playing the blues on his guitar
and harmonic a.
"People like what I do. it brings people up."
says Kagle Park Slim, who often performs on Pith
Avenue "People tell me. You made my morn
ing' or 'You made my day ' It makes me feel good
knowing I made someone's day."
Slim started singing the blues more than .'JO
years ago in Eagle Park. Ill lie began playing the
harmonica .it age *) and was playing guitar by 12.
His mother owned a dub and band members
who played there gave Slim their old harmonicas.
"I didn’t choose it (blues music), it chose me,"
Slim says "At the time it was handy. There were
always three or four h rmonicas laying around."
By age* lri he had his own rook 'n' roll band —
Eagle Park Slim and the Blue* Flames. The band
played local halls and school talent shows and
soon became a well known act in Kagle Park.
Slim says
Slim says he has played with some of the big
gest names in the music business, including
Chuck Berry. Tina Turner. Ked Hot Chili Pep
[>ers. Iimmy Heed and Joe Cocker
However, after having an agent. Slim realized
several years ago he wanted to handle his own ca
reer. he says.
"Money sounds good but it don't make you
happy. I'm my own manager. An agent is just go
ing to take half your money." Slim says. "I go
places This is not just a street thing. I know I can
take my act anywhere, but I choose to do it here
and I'm making a living out of it There's a busi
ness in doing tins if you do it right and you make
people feel good.”
Slim says he has a message in his music.
"There's peace through music," he says.
"When there's music on the street it changes the
atmosphere of people's minds. I had a guy listen
to my music one day and say, I was about ready
to break in a plac e.' but 1 gave him something."
Slim says.
Slim has been adding his blues sound to the
streets of Eugene for about 10 years now He also
travels to Canada. Seattle. St laiuis and Kansas

When he's not playing outside the bookstore,
Eagle Park Slim travels the country, playing
at shows and fairs.
City among other places to appear in fairs and
shows.
"I don't wait for anyone to book me. I book
with people who are going to book me now.''
Slim says.
Blues music means a great deal to Slim, who
says blues is a form of music that everyone can
relate to.
"Blues music is the true meaning of life A lot
of people get the blues and don't even know they
got them. Blues is not just by a woman, but there
are other kinds. If you left your checkbook at
home, you've got the blues. You could have a
million dollars but it don’t make a difference."
Slim says.
Eagle Bark Slim will next be seen performing .it
the Eugene's Saturday Market the weekends ol
Oct. 9-10 and Oct 13-14 The Eagle Park Slim
Band will be featured at the EMU Beer Gardens
on Oct 19.
