Good to see another admirer of R L Burnside, ando. He doesn't often get a mention on MB, which is why I dedicated a thread to him here:-

I thought your clip was very interesting to watch, to see RLB's large and not very responsive family. The young boy drumming does a good job tho.
RLB has on the same shirt as for the "Jumper" clip, so I guess someone visited RLB and recorded both items on the same day.

I think his family was spooked by the cameras.

Thanks for the link.

Buddy Guy - First Time I Met The Blues

Thanks to everyone for all your inspiration. Just joined whilst listening to Alice Coltrane’s Ptah The El Daoud.

Sorry, meant to post in Jazz section

Buddy Guy on Hendrix

I saw him in the 90's, front row at the old Legends at 754 Wabash along with John Hammond Jr. I met Dave Murray from Iron Maiden that night at the bar when I went to get a refill.

Also, my daughter went to school with his grandson Greg. They did a science project together, and one day she called me up to tell me she was at Buddy Guy's mansion. I wanted to give her a CD of mine to give to him, but I didn't think my kind of music was his cuppa tea, so I just left all of that alone. They did an excellent job on the project though from what I can recall.

I know Robert Johnson originally recorded this one in '36 but I love this live version by The Wolf recorded in the 60s.

^ Great footage and version, ando. The Wolf and Hubert were magic together. A-woohooooo! ;)

Howlin' Wolf - Moanin' at Midnight

Hold it! Working on a science project with Buddy Guy's grandson in Buddy's mansion? That's pretty amazing. Can I have your daughter's autograph now? :)

Also, I really like John Hammond Jr. My first exposure to him was when he narrated an excellent '91 documentary titled The Search For Robert Johnson. Well worth watching, imo, if anyone is interested.

I'm trying to get one myself. She's a busy person. lol Buddy lives right down the road from us. Dennis DeYoung from Styx is a bit south of us too.

I'll be checking that doc out though. Thanks for the heads up!

I guess I picked the wrong week to quit documentaries.

You're welcome! The documentary is a bit hard to find these days. Here's a link if you'd like to view it online: https://archive.org/details/THESEARCHFORROBERTJOHNSON

Enjoy!

:D

This one isn't bad, either.

Looks like my night is filled up. I'll put on the head cuttin scene from Crossroads after these.

Koko is kool. :cool: The long tall Hound Dog Taylor on guitar! And of course, the legendary Little Walter shortly before his death. :(

I've been wanting to see this - now's the time! Thanks! :)

They play quite a bit of Koko on WXRT HD2:

I only checked out Ando's, since I couldn't get the other to play on my large flat screen... pretty sure that the Archive website isn't set up with the proper video codec or something along those lines, but the one I did watch was enlightening. I'll check the other one out when I get time. I appreciate the rec's.

Great playlists on this station - thank you!

No problem - hope you enjoy watching if/when the technology works out.

I gradually fast-forwarded through segments of the doc last night, and was reminded that "Queen" Elizabeth (one of Johnson's featured ex-girlfriends) disturbs me a bit with her talk of shooting Johnson! :eek: I was also pleasantly reminded of Johnny Shines's dignified presence and insightful commentary.

Johnny Shine's commentary was some of the most insightful of the entire doc. His take on the "Selling his soul to the devil" was telling of the way things were with those early blues men. "He was a dam liar and I'd tell it to him straight to his face". lol He wasn't having any of it.

I'll throw this one on the pile. I was just looking for some old blues tunes I've done and this one... well this one was a drunken fun mess of a time with an old friend from a few years back.
