I would like to give a heads up on a Michael Burks' show. Michael & Eric Lindell will both be playing at the Western Maryland Blues Festival in Hagerstown MD in June 2010.....

And here's a real sweet clip of that very show!  wink

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pth9oUOZ … re=related

You can just see Tarus' hat and a touch of white hair in the lower right corner towards the end. I thought I saw Cathy's head bobbing front and center, but I'm not certain...will check with her later when she's up.

But anyway, my point was to breathe some life back into this topic because Michael is a killer live and I want to encourage anyone who has the opportunity to catch him live.  cool

P.S. A big thank you to the starter of this topic, who reminded me about Michael on FB last night.  wink

RIP Iron Man

Re: Michael Burks...

I have good news, and I have bad news.

The good news is that lots of Euro blues fans will have a chance to admire Michael live this fall.  big_smile I urge those of you who have not seen Michael live not to miss this opportunity. You will not be disappointed!!

The bad news is that he's coming over too late for Cathy's visit.  sad

A very belated thank you for that, Granny.  wink

I am SO %#*&ing envious of Cathy and Bob tonight, off to see Michael at the Baltimore Blues Society. Since Michael won't even be on stage before around 3am my time, I won't be able to phone in for a live hit of Michael's exquisite tone.  sad

So, Bob...you better make up for the DC fiasco with some filming and/or taping tonight, you hear?  wink

Have a great show you two, consider me with you in spirit.

RIP Iron Man

Re: Michael Burks...

Another great show!!! Such a nice guy too. There were times it felt like a private show he was so close. I hope Bob posts some shots because Gear Heads will like his new custom guitar. There is film on youtube. G, you got a personal chat with Wayne and a few notes from Michael..not bad smile   Cathy

Re: Michael Burks...

Nothing like being half asleep in the middle of the night and finding yourself on the line with a musician on the other side of the pond.  neutral  Thanks for that surprise, C.  tongue

Here are the first two films posted from that night.

Re: Michael Burks...

Here you go, Bluesdeluxe25 - loads of links to great clips - yes, quite a few here have heard of Michael and quite a few like him a lot!!

Tres, or anyone else - there is a new Michael torrent on Dime! I had to re-register yesterday, and since I was the only one leeching, my current ratio is 0.  sad  I need some more leechers, please.

RIP Iron Man

Re: Michael Burks...

thanks George for bringing this back, it was too much for me to retrieve. I am not computer savvy and don't quite understand torrents. What is this leeching ratio thing you speak of? would be glad to help if I knew WTH I was doing, as long as it doesn't involve losing blood. lol

I'm pretty sure your son could explain torrents to you - they are a wonderful thing, as you will find out.  wink

I won't divert this topic, but will start another in 'Off'.

By the way, Tres, did you ever suss out torrents?


Big props also to the wonderful Iron Man from Arkansas for being nominated for the Blues Foundation GIbson award!! Man, Michael gets some of the sweetest tones I have ever heard out of his LP.

If any of you have never seen Michael live, please do not miss any opportunity you might get. I promise you 110% satisfaction! cool

You bet I noticed! cool

I'll be making the trip down to Belgium on May 5, that's the only do-able show for me. To anyone who has the chance to catch one of these shows - do NOT miss the Iron Man, he is one hell of a player as well as a very sweet man too!!
