I am not a musician anymore but reading these comments makes warm. Thanks Mark! We go all the way back to like 95. Your daughter is 11 by the time I replied, apologies for going dark.. Covid just took the light away from so many musicians. I am occupying myself in other ways now. Best to you and your fam.
@@richardjohnston9522 and I gotta say, you influenced me soooo much in music and drive, but also just from you great mind and personality. So much insight. You must have 2 brains or something.... (!) :)
I like this guy , the older he gets the better he is.That's how you know the real one.He stay faithful to is roots.Long hair , cigar box , cigarette and beer.
@@fasterfossil I still have songs but what happened after Covid sorta of over-shadowed most musicians's plans. But if I ever do release something I will post something about it somewhere. Certainly on this channel. Thanks again for the kind words.
I could be mistaken, but i think this dude is a game changer. He's playing funk bass and blues slide simultaneously. Can someone please explain this to me?
@@richardjohnston9522 I saw you play on Beale Street in July or August '22, was walking by to go someplace and ended up spending the evening on the sidewalk listening to you do your thing. Your CD, Foothill Stomp, disappeared during a move. You have a copy you want to part with, I'll take it. I do agree that the States are amok, one of the reasons I am in Germany but also feeling the need to reconnect with some of the real stuff, like your music.
Love you, Richard! My 7 year old daughter... who wasn't born when I last was around you... is dancing around the room right now to this jam.

There's a lot of inbfluences in Memphis, and RJ doesn't limit himself a whole lot.
