Wow

I used to see this couple playing out on State street every summer day. He was this big rangy hillbilly looking guy who was an amazing blues player and she was this tiny little woman who held a bass that she barely played, and that usually dwarfed her, who had this astoundingly huge voice. They called themselves the Chicago Brother And Sister Blues Band

Someone I work with saw them in New Orleans and were amazed. Bought one of the CDs and showed it to me. I hadn't heard anything about them in years but they were still amazing. I made a copy of the CD since I had no way of finding them for a copy of my own.

The person I work with came up to ask me if I still had the CD as her's was missing. I said I did and I could bring it in tuesday to copy for her.

I did a quick search to see if I could find anything about them. I found this.

DOWN BY THE BAY A blues story with all the requisite elements: love, booze and death

Apparantly in a drunken argument, Bruce killed Juliette and dumped her body into San Francisco Bay.

What a waste.

Nope...still get the "HTTP 500 Internal server error page cannot be displayed" crap. Must be something screwy about the work system. Oh well. I think the world is not likely to come to a screeching halt if I don't get to read an article about people I never met.

HEY...are you going to be at the NYE craziness this weekend (with guitar)?

I am going to try to make it there at some point. I am recording a friends band saturday night, and there is no one to watch the kids tonight. I might make it down tomorrow afternoon or sunday. But I don't know. My weekend has ended up being taken up a lot.

Well, if we get to see you, great, otherwise I am cogitating over driving up to Ames on the 27th (or whatever it is); Susan remembers the tattoo parlor as being non-smoking.

Cheers & Happy New Year!

I also have started putting the promo disc together. So I am going to start sending those out in the next week or so.
