Happy Birthday, Popa!

Last night of March found me at the Waterfront Ale House
celebrating Popa Chubby`s birthday!

Many fellow musicians from the Blues New York society were also there,
to honor his birthday and groove with the Black Coffee Band
that usually plays there the first Friday of each month.

After a first hot set that lasted one hour i had the chance to personally wish him
happy birhtday myself and to give him his present--a signed copy of my latest
CD, "Transblues."


I always speak some Greek with Dimitri, who sings and plays guitar with the band.
Said hi to Galea, Mr. Popa`s wife, who plays the bass and sings with the band.
And i hung with Margey my bass player who happened also to be there.

Mr.Big Ed Sullivan was there as well,
and he sat in for three songs of the second set before Dimitri took over
with Margey on the bass this time....

It`s always fun to see these guys playing not only because
they are great musicians, but because there's always sure to be
a guest appearance from another great musician as well.

Margey, Big Ed and I left together and Margey drove me home
in her great Chrysler automobile that i love!

Happy Birthday Popa!
