Respect your elders

I am saddened by the way that we who have been playing and keeping the blue flame burning are being treated in or own area. Kids that we've encouraged and brought up on stage with us are now grown and forgetting how they got to be where they are today. While I'm glad to see that the blues will live on in them it saddens me that they are ok with forgetting about us. I was helped and encouraged by men like Otis Span who brought me up on stage with him. Hubert Sumlin who sat me down and showed me… Continue

Ελληνικά Blues CDs

Θέλω λίγο να μαζέψουμε τα CDs που κυκλοφορούν σε κάποια στιγμή και να τα οργανώσουμε κάπως ώστε να τα βρίσκει κανείς πιο εύκολα και να έχει μια εικόνα του τι δουλειές έχουν κάνει οι Ελληνικές μπάντες και που μπορεί να τις βρει.

Βρήκα πριν λίγο τυχαία το CD του Michael Dotson στο Amazon.com καθώς και το καινούργιο CD του Πάυλου Καραπιπέρη (επίσης στο Amazon). Και τα δύο αυτά CDs διακινούνται μέσα από το CDBaby το οποίο προφανώς έχει κάποιο deal με το Amazon και τα προωθεί και από… Continue

Blues.Gr Logo

Blues.Gr needs a nice logo and I'm already investigating options for making one.

I'm not setting forward a call for a logo with this post. I just want to let you all know, so anyone that might have a suggestion or idea can come forward with it. Maybe a member of blues.gr is a graphic artist, or knows someone that would be interested in getting involved in creating a logo for blues.gr.

Let me know so I can evaluate the available options, by either replying to this post or… Continue

Cadillac Records DVD Released Today!

Last night I went out to see the movie Cadillac Records. The opening credits claims it to be a true story. How accurate it is I can't say but I can say it was a great movie for a blues fan. It starts off with some Muddy Waters, then Little Walter, Willie Dixon, Howlin' Wolf, Chuck Berry and Etta James. How's that for an all star cast? Here is the trailer:

The DVD was released today - more details at… Continue

Snooks Eaglin 1936-2009

The world lost Snooks Eaglin this week. Hearing Snooks brought back memories of a time when I lived in Louisiana and spent many a weekend in Naw'lens. They have their own way of doing things things in Louisiana and they step that up another notch in New Orleans. Check this and I think you'll see exactly what I mean - and watch those magic… Continue
