The nationally known band Saffire--The Uppity Blues Women got its start when boogie-woogie piano player and guitarist Ann Rabson was a faculty member at Germanna Community College, where she taught computer science.

There Rabson had a student named Earlene Lewis who played bass. They got together and added singer-songwriter Gaye Adegbalola. The rest is blues history. But it all started 25 years ago at Germanna. And on Feb. 21, Saffire comes full circle by playing Germanna as part of its farewell tour.
