I saw Hiram for the first time live with his trio in Switzerland in 1995 in a small cellar venue... couldn't have wished for more... so close to this guy that had the warmest heart, the greatest guitar chops and a trio that played it all from funk, reggae, jazz to rock... saw him then ten years later with a new trio in Cologne... had as much fun as the first time round but his failing health was obvious... still the audience felt and knew they were in the best of hands for a great evening of music and jokes. Hiram, miss you and thanks!

It is SO Awesome that Mr. Bullock did THIS gig with the Legendary B.C. ( and recorded it !) before he crossed over... R.I.P. Hiram
