Gonna miss Jack Johnson. Hearing the Oil Man in a Clarksdale juke was one of the best blues experiences ever. God rest his mighty soul.

Trip to the British Isles

I'm headed to Britain Scotland and Ireland in March with my wife.  While I'm there, I'd love to sit in with some local blues musicians.  While I've done this in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Memphis, I've never been to Europe before. Do any of you live there, have contacts there, or give me any advice? --GatorSee More

Johnny Winter at the Vulcan Gas Company in Austin in the late 60s

Thumbnail
I remember seeing Johnny the first time, probably 1968, at the Vulcan on Congress Avenue in Austin.  Amazing memories from that gig 42 years ago. My favorite album is the Hard Again---the one he made with Muddy Waters and his former band-mates. Incredible CD---as good now as it was in 76. --GatorSee More

8 Hours with Pinetop, Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, James Cotton and Bob Stroger

Chance of a lifetime. I get a call from an officer of a big corporation (that I won't name). The guy says, "Look this is very secret, but we're flying in Muddy Waters old band and they're playing for the party we're throwing for our executives and major customers in a 3-4 state area. We want them to have quality equipment and I heard that you have a nice selection of quality tube amps you might loan us for these guys." It took me about 2 seconds to say, "When do they get here--I'll be…

My First Visit to the Delta

I'm finally making to the birthplace of the blues. Wednesday, May 19th, I'm flying into Memphis where I'll meet my brother who's coming in from Dallas. I've been a week-end warrior for almost 40 years, playing blues and blues-rock. My bro is a huge blues fan and we've always dreamed of this trip.



I'm bringing some gear and will sit in with some guys that night on Beale street; next morning, we're headed down the legendary Hwy 61 and I can't wait. We plan to hit as many juke joints as… Continue

Will oblige if I can. London is your best bet for a regular Blues music scene. I live about an hour (60 miles) north and live Blues is hit and miss out here, its around but you have to find it when its on.
March should see a bit of spring with flowers but bring warm and dry clothes.
