John Lee Hooker performing Chicken And Gravy at the Montreal Jazz Festival, 1980. Look who's backing him up :) Been stormy and I've been enjoying it. Tillamook Head (about an hour north of me just south of Seaside) had gusts of 80 mph (as did Lincoln City which is about an hour south of me) but I only got up to an occasional gust of 58 or so. Not as much rain as I thought -- total rainfall to date...

Here's a great video clip from the American Folk Blues Festival in Germany in 1965. It came my way in a newsletter from Bob Corritore , a Phoenix blues harp player, who's obviously a fan of harp players. This clip shows Big Mama Thornton , Big Walter Horton , J.B. Lenoir , Dr. Ross , and John Lee Hooker , taking turns on harp at the festival. Maybe you've seen this. I hadn't, and it's a lot of fun...

From his web site Born in Colchester, England, -“When I was nine, my parents moved into this caravan in Thorrington, outside Colchester. It was this poxy little caravan, old and knackered, with me and my brother stuck in one half of it and Mum and Dad sleeping in the living room. We had a radio and there wasn’t much interesting on that, and my grandmother gave us an old gramophone and a...

E versus J&B I know we say this quite frequently but where would this blog be without those whacky folks who feed us material by doing pointless research. The latest finding, announced by the appropriately named Professor Nutt, shows that drugs like ecstasy and cannabis are no more dangerous than legal drugs like alcohol.
