  • Satan and Adam, the Harlem blues duo, in their prime. Mr. Satan (Sterling Magee) is the subject of Adam Gussow's 1998 memoir, MISTER SATAN'S APPRENTICE. The duo opens with an original, "Sunshine in the Shade," then segues into Billy Preston's "Will It Go Round in Circles."

    I was there working with the sound company(Treetop Sound and Lights from Portsmouth, VA) Between sets, I stood on that same stage running cables, and helping musicians get set up. It was an incredible show. Two people filling the night with more sound than most larger combos can imagine. It was a great honor for me, and one of the best memories I can recall !!!!!!

    The greatest music team EVER ❤ The groove was so perfectly solid and matched. Complimenting and all as one. Not stepping over or on toes. Blows my mind!

    MAD JAM in E! The ebb and flow of the harmonica was inspirational and educational. You are SO LUCKY to have satan. In my shithole of a burgh everybody insists the blues is dead and the harmonica belongs on hee-haw:( You have re-ignited my love of the instrument and put me on new, greater paths, thank you;)

    Nice to see. Had a time getting "Living On The River" on my iPod but with a little help from my niece with a Mac I'm now back in business with my favorite street duo!

    I saw them play at The Jewish Mother in VA Beach in the early 90s. It was a great show, and I kept thinking that Satan done got himself a little Richie Cunningham-looking sidekick. It’s even funnier now knowing that Adam was a college grad at the time.

    He no longer lives in Harlem. He lives at the Boca Ciega facility in Gulfport, FL, in greater St. Petersburg. If you call ahead, I'm sure he'd be happy to have you stop by. If you blow harp, bring a harp.

      I pray to God that someone out there has 1 or 50 excellent video's of him close up and playing his magic! That part of the documentary when he pulls out his 12 string and begins to blow me away with these WILD chord progressions ... well it's clear as day that his work is not from this world. God bless him where ever he is. Thank you for letting us into your world. (BTW, I'd love to buy some of his art work)

    Thanks, Jim. The feeling is mutual. I've checked out your videos; you're doing something useful yourself--keeping that anarchic spirit alive. If the harp isn't about that at least some of the time, what the hell is it about?

    Jim, if the town folk are still watching Hee-Haw, that tells you something! Even Charlie McCoy can play the blues (and then some!). But it does take dedicated people to keep the blues alive... Check out Joe Filisko, a true living ambassador for blues harmonica.

    I need an amp. I have a Gretsch Country Gentleman from the 50s, but am very disappointed with the sound. If you were given your choice of ONE AMP for a medium venue,...what would you buy?
