Re: friday's blues fix
Another fantastic Blues Fix, Badeye ... thank you. Stevie Ray will surely go down in history as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. There's aren't too many who can match him for skill and passion ... really makes every song his own property.

Re: friday's blues fix
Good choice Badeye. Stevie was not only a top musician he was a nice guy much loved by many New Zealanders, There are many stories of him helping musicians with their music and careers once he got his life in order after his wild years. A young lady Stevie-Ray who works at the Bar where I meet Easybeat and few others for a beer was named after him by her parents. Stevie visited New Zealand and fell in love with Janna Lapidus a local girl from here in Lower Hutt, Wellington. They were to be married. There was even talk - a lot of talk - of how he planned to move here; to kick back in New Zealand, possibly in a state of semi-retirement, maybe dividing his time between here and some annual European/American touring. She was only a teen model who worked with him in a New Zealand TV commercial. Despite their age differences and the fact they were from different countries , they made their relationship work. He reportedly turned over a new leaf and gave up on his hard partying lifestyle for her. He famously bought a sunburst Diplomat Strat-style guitar for Janna to learn how to play. She travelled and even moved in with him until the fatal helicopter crash killed him in 1990. In the last four years of his life a lot happened for Vaughan – he finally hit down with some incredible solo albums building on his years of playing as sideman and leader. Mitch Marsden a Kiwi Bluesman became a good friend of Stevie Ray Vaughan; when Mitch visited Texas at various times he would stay at Vaughan's house for months on end. Mitch told a reporter that Stevie was a down to earth guy who loved to jam with everyday folk and make music.

Re: friday's blues fix
Great track, BadEye ... Pete and Brownie look like a couple of farm hands at the lunch table, while Sonny's all spiffed up in his suit, like he's there to collect taxes. 
Great music!

Re: friday's blues fix
Badeye - that was excellent..... I think this written by Leadbelly -
It's great story about the Louisiana railway.a railroad in Louisiana and just outside of New Orleans they used to have a toll
and the engineers pull up to the toll booth & blow the whistle then talk to the depot
and tell’em what they have on board. For certain things, you don’t have to pay toll at
So the engineer would pull up to the station and say something like…
I got Liiivvveestooock
I got Liiivvveestooock
I got pigs, I got sheep
I got cows, I got horses
I got AAAALLLL Livestock
and that's how the song started....

Re: friday's blues fix
Memphis Slim & Sonny Boy Williamson was a great c choice. They also showed a woman who sounded more like a guy in drag. Badeye hope you have a very Happy New Year.

Re: friday's blues fix
Badeye those two are brilliant together. I wonder what lyrics Stevie Ray Vaughan would sing if he was in that place and with us today, now we have Cell Phones.

Re: friday's blues fix
Badeye I love that line in that song “ A lip to chew” is it a saying used by folk in your part of the world? I guess it means the same as “Chewing the brezze”? I have heard my sister who has lived over on the other coast of Canada ( Vancouver} since1965 say ' Im spitting in the wind" when she thinks people are not listening to what she is saying.
