1930s bluegrass which lends a lot to the gangster rap of today.

should add that since then i have gone on to enjoy many other forms of music but those old ones are still the greatest.

[dr b]

Love Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee~ - you should enjoy Cephas & Wiggins, I think.

loved it. thanks. how about muddy waters, lightnin' hopkins, roy buchanan?

[dr b]

Born & raised in Chicago so I guess it's in my blood. Had the good fortune to see Muddy Waters live 3 times before he died. This is my favorite.

"live" as in "live and in person, playing." That came out strange in the above post!

Elmore James - dr b - if youve got a minute - Dankie -

[lady-janine]

ooooh that is so fortunate. how about albert collins, louisiana red and jimmy johnson?

[dr b]

Greatest show I ever saw was Albert Collins in LA. He had his extra-long guitar cord and walked out into the crowd & played - he was 5 feet away from me. The master of the Telecaster. His recordings could not do him justice.
