The spoons, finger-cymbals, bandorea, Djembe-drum, harmonica, guitar, trombone and-tap-dancing shoes accompany the "rich, raw, deep and resonant" voice of this "singular and liberating performer." "Expect the… Continue

Hi Rob,
Thank you for commenting on my post.
I agree with everything you said!
Here is my wish for the very best to you and all my LiveBluesWorld friends as we take the music of our heritage into 2009 and the 21st century.
It's an honor to be on this journey with you. ..and a pleasure to be your friend. Thank you for allowing me to be a member of the community.

..."true greats" ...are not those born with "golden spoons" in their mouths. ...but those who through "hard work" turn their own "wooden spoons" into "gold".

Hi Rob ;
Welcome to LBW, I have been aware of the scene in your part of the world for a while now , looks good . I was born just outside Blairgowrie myself , while Pete Cruickshank our bassplayer , is a Cruickshank born in Calcutta. After 40 years playing together as a rhythm
section we did some family tree stuff and discovered our respective direct
family lines lived about 30 miles apart in the area around Aberdeen during
the mid 1700's.
We ( I ) promote down here in Bristol and lots of other places so
if you have anything of interest ( e.g. Matt Anderson ) let me know.
Kind regards
Ken Pustelnik (+ Pete Cruickshank & Eddie Martin )
