My money sez Sonny Landreth.....

Sorry JB.....

Re: Once again I come to you for help

I have to give a vote to Sonny also but I do hate the label "best". I know I'm not offending Joe because Sonny is on Joe's list of Favorite current players....then there's Derek Trucks..and..well..that's the point...But S.L.'s "Wind out of Denver" is still one of the sexiest songs out there...Cathy

He'll get back on the stove sooner or later... When he lets loose, Elvin Bishop can tear a slide that's got his excitable nature & "fun" written all over it!

Re: Once again I come to you for help

Wow. Greetings Dino, Sara, Angela, Jane, Jim and everyone else!  Just stumbled upon this one many a week late.  Don't know that Dino or Sara will be back here soon, but anyhow....

Dino, so cool that you are doing these articles.  City Pages?  Let me know so I don't miss it.  I know you will do an excellent job.  Thanks for helping promote our guy.  Did I miss Holt this weekend?  Burned out and sick after first few weeks at my new preschool job!  All I could do was crawl to my bed at 8:30 on Fri.  Checking out the Joe board seemed like good therapy before Mon.  arrives again.

Sara, so nice to see you back here again.  Need to get in touch again.  Thanks for all you do for the blues up here as well!  I really do want to get more involved, but work and family are all I can keep up with for now.  Hoping I'll make it to see Joe at the Grand! 

Glad to see everyone on good terms in this thread.  That's the Bona-spirit!

Curiosity is one of the permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous mind.

Hey guys...the Elmore piece is done.

But I am sorry about the other one.  Email me if you want to know what happened.
