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, 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 faith in the Lord. 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.
