Afternoon folks!

It's time for another scoop of the blues. This week we start out with a great album from guitarist and harmonica player Slim Harpo followed by a reunion album of Chicago blues piano player Memphis Slim and guitarist Matt "Guitar" Murphy. After that it's the rockin' 50's blues of Jackie Brenston and then on to an album from Chicago blues guitarist Eddie Taylor, followed by an album of 40's piano blues from Cecil Gant. We finish up in the diversity department with an album from British folk rock group Oysterband.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Good morning, good people!

This short video just may shock and dismay you! Or not.

Due to hospital trips, doctor's appointments, we haven't gone anywhere or done anything in almost a year. Blame this on cancer. But there has been a couple of weeks pause on all things medical crap, and we scored really good tickets to see Jorma Kaukonen and John Hurlbut at Main Street Crossing in Tomball, Texas, a nice venue only an hour and 15 minutes away! Jorma was lead guitarist for Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna. His current thing is acoustic blues, rock and folk. I am hoping to shop for merch!

Morning,

Interesting times. Would not mind a few months of boredom.

Interesting Things!
Here’s a few interesting things, starting with beavers…

Beavers have been reintroduced to Scotland. Beavers had been extinct in Britain for about 400 years. The species was hunted to extinction there. In 2009 11 beavers were introduced to a ‘dead’ river in Scotland. And they flourished and so did the river, the plants and animals which live in and along it, and more. Yes! Beavers have been, and are, being reintroduced to other places in Britain as well, which is a good thing, I think.

The talking heads on the MSM evening news propaganda programs are describing the new Covid strain spreading across the nation as the "Cicada Covid" variant because it first mutated "way back in 2024".
Like that was a long time ago. It was barely a year and a half ago.
