In this case, it's the other grandfather. The Kid clearly prefers Rob and he doesn't do a good job of encouraging her to sit with Papa. I want to thwap him sometimes -- we see her more than they do and he could be some more gracious about "sharing" her.

I did go to hear Gate Mouth Brown once in Houston and there used to be a little blues club in Providence, RI that I hung out in in the late fifties. Not to mention all the blues joints in the bad part of Washington, DC but we won't mention those will we? We still have the spare bedroom and I will take you down south of here and introduce you to some alligators if you want. And restaurants! How many cities of 75K do you know with Cajun, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Mediterranean, and other such restaurants? > > Oh yeah, I taught her to cook and can too. > >><VBG> >> >>George >> George |

'the london howlin' wolf sessions' is a little smoother than the work with his own band. all the english white-boy bluesmen are on it. i used to like taj, but i heard he was once a veterinarian. fred mcdowell is a little more acoustic, in that it's just him singing and playing slide guitar. 'i do not play no rock'n'roll' is great - run out and buy it right now. (it's now part of a two-cd set, the other slightly less great.) somewhat off the subject, louis jordan's greatest hits are a must. that's more jazz and r'n'b. paul mccartney said he learned to rock from chuck berry; chuck says he learned from louis.

I get the feeling it's very good to be Taj. Have you heard his Hawaiian record? Can't recall the title right now, but it's great fun. I saw him in 73; he's even more fun live. Or he was then, anyway. Aside from John Lee Hooker (who was surely the coolest man alive in the years between Miles Davis' death and his own), my favorite bluesman is Lightnin' Hopkins. I met him in the parking lot of a blues club in Dallas the night of my 21st birthday. I was so star struck I was incapable of making anything like genuine conversation unfortunately. He sent me inside to get his bass player and some "stuff."* It was late and he'd been on the road a few weeks and was missing his wife back in Houston. The bass player was his driver; the "stuff" was for the ride home. While I was inside, Lightnin' asked my girlfriend whether I was a good man. She said I was okay. He said "Well, you ought to marry him, then." What could we do? One year later we were wed. *Somebody else there offered him a couple of joints, but Lightnin' scoffed and said he meant gin. modom "Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eyes." -- Jimmie Dale Gilmore |

The guy from Yes has played a harp built by my husband. His name is Jon Anderson. So, Barb, did they pass you a joint? I just have to mention this because we were passed one at the Dylan concert. Husband saw all the big bands and Dylan just floored him more than anyone. He will be on 60 Minutes tomorrow. I really love Taj. So many blues guys to like. karen |

Rob does listen to Howlin' Wolf -- I just axed > him. Howlin' Wolf is one of my heroes. I've spent a good chunk of the last few days watching a three part DVD series of performances of a bunch of blues players who were brought over to Europe and filmed for TV. It is unbelievably good. I'd never seen many of these people perform before; I'd only heard them on record. Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, Willie Dixon, Sonny Boy Williamson, Hound Dog Taylor and practically anyone else you could name who was alive at the time are all on the DVDs. The DVDs are called the American Folk Blues Festival if anyone is interested. BTW, I made a batch of your brownies in the middle of watching the DVDs. The brownies were good. -Mike |
