Stoney B Blues (Michael Stone) is a true bluesman from Chicago. He is currently based in San Diego and available for touring and festivals. He grew up listening to his father Lil Howling Wolf play the blues that his dad learned from the great Howling Wolf. In 2025, with over 50 years of experience, he has become a highly accomplished guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and recording artist of the Blues. Stoney B not only has lots of talent but that wonderful gift of communication which grabs people’s attention as he brings them into a truly enjoyable, masterful and often humorous experience as he entertains them with the Down Home Blues. He feels and shares at a soulful level the essence of the blues with strong influences from Muddy Waters, BB King and Jimmy Reed. He spent 14 years playing in the clubs and on the streets in New Orleans with Elliott Small. Their internationally famed act “Stoney B and Grandpa” was formed when Stoney B started calling Elliott “Grampa”! In recent years Stoney B has lost most of his eyesight so you did not see him much during the pandemic but he is back and has to do what is in his soul to do ... and that is play the Blues for you.

Betty Boop has been a cultural icon for nearly 100 years. In collaboration with Fleischer Studios, this one-of-a-kind exhibit embarks on a nostalgic journey, starting with Betty’s beginnings to her rise to international popularity—and what makes her a fan favorite today. First introduced in 1930, Betty Boop was created by Max Fleischer for his “Talkartoons” series, the world’s first animated “talkies,” which Max’s company, Fleischer Studios, produced for Paramount Studios. While she first appeared in the animated film Dizzy Dishes as a dog-like singer, she quickly lost her canine features and was given the name Betty Boop in 1931, making her the first female animated screen star in history. Personifying the fabulous flappers and jazz artists of the day, she was also the earliest animated character to be on broadcast television, drawn live on-air by creator Max Fleischer. Also highlighted are the eight women who have voiced Betty over the years, and history and animation enthusiasts will appreciate the focus on innovative industry pioneers Max and Dave Fleischer, founders of Fleischer Studios and inventors of the rotoscope. Get Tickets Museum Hours: Monday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday – Closed Thursday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
