Today was Gatemouth Brown's birthday. I saw him once, with about a 15 pc band, in the mid 80s. I'd never seen a band that big on stage. Clarence played about 10 different instruments himself. Guitar, fiddle, harmonica, horns, drums, everything. He was brilliant. While suffering from heart disease, emphysema, and then lung cancer, he lost his home and all belongings to Hurricane Katrina. He passed away two weeks later.

After 11 years I hope to finally see this artist play some acoustic. This guitar is a 1932 National Triolian he recently had refurbished. Its a piece of art even before its picked up. Davy is touring Florida in late June. St Aug, Sanford, and Boca Raton.

Mike Ledbetter tragically passed away from epilepsy and a fall at home in 2019. He and Monster Mike Welch made 1 album together, 'Right Place, Right Time'. He was a trained opera singer who loved the blues. I was lucky to meet him at a festival in 2015 and chat for a few minutes. He was cool, classy, and humble. I was just checking for new posts from last weekend's event at Ospel, but found this gem recently posted, from 2018.

One band most people have heard of, but hard to find many who have ever seen them....at least nowadays. Back in their hey-day, they were huge. Highly unusual in the fact they utilized a flute in their music...as in rare. I never saw them in person, but everyone I have ever come across who has seen them ALL said the same thing: they were THE BEST live performance of any group they ever saw. Without fail. It was surprising to say the least. Most of these folks were the kind who saw everyone in rock....Stones, The Who, Grateful Dead, Allman Bros., Doobies, Eagles, KISS, etc...all the super heavy hitters of the day in the 70's and many still are to this day. Yet among a list of those groups, Jethro Tull stood head and shoulders as the consensus best live performance that took people's breath away.

Dylan Triplett is a singer and winner of Best Emerging Artist at the Blues Music Awards last week. His debut album 'who is he?' features Kingfish playing guitar on this single.

39 years ago this week I was in Cleveland Public Hall. David Gilmour in concert, the 'About Face' tour. He also played 'Money', 'Run Like Hell', and the encore was 'Comfortably Numb'.
