    My dad was a country man who loved the blues. Thanks for leaving me with this gift dad. Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, James Cotton, B B King, and so many more. The blues speaks to me via my heritage.

      I’m from Barcelona, so blues is not part of my heritage, but I just love Blues, as well as Soul and Jazz! I’ll never forget all the wonderful artists I had the privilege to attend to their concerts, Nina Simone, BBKing, Duke Ellington, Chick Corea, etc!

    This is truly amazing stuff. It should be required listening for any musician and any music lover. The range of feelings, the extraordinary dynamics, the total control, the intensity of the entire performance is just remarkable. I first saw Buddy Guy in 1967 and was astounded then. I remember that he had an outrageously long guitar cord--long enough to let him leave the stage, go up the aisle, and outside into the lobby while he was playing an absolutely blistering solo. My young mind was transformed that day. And he's even better today than he was then. Truly a player for the ages.

    Awesome blue's. I would really like to see "The Blues," have a strong come back in 2024, and going forward. I miss the long ago bluesmen, from back in the day. There was such a strong appreciation of the art back then. The "blue's bug" had me, by the time I was 8 yrs old. I was just a kid, loving and somehow already appreciating the deep down feelings that those songs would cause my heart to feel. It was the 1960's and I would listen to my radio, on an AM station in Dallas Texas. I would be playing with my Barbies, and listening to that music in my room at the same time. I just loved that soul moving music. There was nothing like it! My parents even took me to New Orleans one summer, so I could watch it be played in person. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world! It was so cool. 🙏❤️😎

One winter night the audience was sparse, and Buddy sang Tobacco Road... Junior scared me sorta -- so good, and a very intense performer.

    I was lucky enough to sneak backstage there and drank champagne with them. I brought a Swiss miss with me and I think Junior (who I knew from Theresa's) ended up with her. I ended up sleeping on a park bench.
