Rockin' Blues

From WKCR to the YARD.

The cold weather is continuing and today`s temperature is 16F.

On Saturday i was at WKCR where i played
some new songs on my acoustic and had a very good time with the host
of the show "Something inside me" Mr.Max Bauer,who played some
very very good music that day.

I was playing at Scotland Yard Bar on Tuesday night
when the expected snow storm arrived.

We made it back home safe but we didn`t get the crowd we expected.

The band was smoking and everyone there enjoyed our show.

I went over to Midtown Library
where i found the latest Larry Carlton`s
cd titled "Fire Wire" where he
continues the blues-jazz tradition he has established.

Great compositions and i really like the sound of his Gibson 335
through that Dumble amplifier he uses.

Another cd i took out was the Hubert Sumlin`s
"Healing Feeling" where he plays some mean blues together
with some very special guests.

This is the first time i heard his music and guitar playing and i like it.

The third disc i took out was "The essential Jimmy Thackery
with some other special guests as Lonnie Brooks,
Duke Robillard, John Mooney, and Reba Russel.

Another guitar player that i listened to for the first time.

A littel heavier than the two previous ones and more Rock than Blues.
