In Memory of St. Louis Blues Musicians and Shauna
Beardsley
Remembered
at the concert will be the late Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame artist,
Johnnie
Johnson, and St. Louis' beloved R&B Godfather, Oliver
Sain, who courageously fought cancer.
The
concert is dedicated to the late Shauna
Beardsley, the wife of STLBlues.net publisher David
Beardsley, who lost her brave battle to lung cancer in May
2005. A gifted athlete, computer tech, model and mother of
two boys, Shauna attended night school in pursuit of her Bachelors
degree in Computer Science. Her support came from a strong
network of family and friends, and her Christian faith. After
diagnosis, Shauna insisted, “you need to love what you
do even more now.” Since then, David Beardsley has been
more dedicated to his Blues website than ever.
