All Apologies
Please forgive the problems with Hubert's site over this past weekend, as the server at our web hosting provider crashed. Our only concern was to have it up and running as quickly as possible, using our backups, which in turn left the site with some outdated information for a few days. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Dear Friends and Fans:
We're so very grateful for all your prayers and well wishes. They obviously worked. It was actually written in Hubert's doctors report that it was a miracle he survived. He's better than ever now and looking ever so radiant. We hope you'll come out to see us play sometime, so we can thank you all personally for the generous love and support you've given Hubert throughout the years....We truly appreciate it.
One Love,
Hubert Sumlin and Toni Ann Mamary
