FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 20, 2006 --



MEMPHIS, Tenn. � The roll call for the fifth annual Ponderosa Stomp, which benefits the New Orleans Musicians Clinic and MusiCares, reads like DJ Daddy-O Dewey Phillips� play list blended with a bowl of Louisiana gumbo and filtered through Sam Phillips� Memphis dream team, with plenty of Northwest garage rock, Gulf Coast psychedelic fuzz, and Bo Diddley-inspired beats thrown in for good measure.
