Prime Minister Of The Blues, Dutch Mason, DEAD

Dutch Mason

“Prime Minister Of The Blues”, Norman “Dutch” Mason (born February 19, 1938 in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, died December 23, 2006 in Truro, Nova Scotia) was a Canadian singer, guitarist, and pianist. Raised in Kentville, Nova Scotia, he played several instruments during his youth, including drums in a jazz band. The earliest of his own groups, which worked around Nova Scotia during the mid-1950s, were in a rock and roll or ‘rockabilly’ style. Mason, by now a singer and guitarist, was introduced to the blues via recordings of B.B. King, who would remain an important influence. Mason performed in Toronto as early as 1959, but based his career in Nova Scotia, leading a succession of blues bands in a variety of bars during the 1970s such as Sullivan’s in Halifax, and the Wyse Owl in Dartmouth.
