Too bad.
B.B. King - The Thrill Is Gone
No. I enjoyed it.
The (musical) Eagles loved it
right to the bank! Merry Christmas!!
Charles Brown - Original

You're in good company, cap.
If it gets ya to where you're goin, that's what counts.
Townes Van Zandt - Pancho & Lefty
A pass for dyin' twice.
David Lindley - Werewolves of London
.....& give a pass to Lindley, as well.
After watching that video,
it's clear to me that those two guys are playing in
"The Delta." From what I'd recently seen,
after his pandemic-woodshed time, Sonny
is playing ON MARS.
I wouldn't want to be the picker that follows his act.
They played some shows together
in Europe. He said DT could play any key,
any time, no capo, no bullshit.
I'm still hoping to see Clapton "augment" Sonny's
trio, next week. If I knew for sure, I'd book a flight
today and not wait for the PBS DVD to come out.
Sonny Landreth mentioned
that of all the aspiring "sliders" Trucks was the best.
Yup; he used to play at The Lonestar.
....& when our band lived in Southern CO,
I used to moonlight with a Chicano band.
.....it wasn't that challenging but it brought in some loot.
Flaco Jiminez - El Vivo
It got corralled by the scent of money.
YouTube is cool,
but Napster led the charge!
I found stuff on that beast that I've not seen since.
Alternate takes, outtakes, bootleg recordings, "obscene"
material. It was free & easy; like Haight Ashbury!
Buddy Guy - An original
https://guitar.com/news/music-news/buddy-guy-turning-point-hendrix-clapton/
Five bad-ass players.
That band seemed to kick him into a higher gear.
Hiram Bullock & Steve Jordan were in the original
(Paul Shaffer) Letterman Band, before it moved
over to prime time, and they were replaced by two
more subdued players.I thought that original bunch might
really have been "The World's Most Dangerous Band."
Another couple 'o pluckers,
with that same old burstin' strat.
That YOU playin', cap??
I did. One of a kind!
Another one that gets a "pass."
I'd (re)tell the story about throwing Dusty
in Trixie's mom's swimming pool, but I beat that one to
death years ago, right Myth?
Probably........
Playing live with him did indeed give me a different perspective..
As I've said on many occasions re genius musicians, when the
music stops, it's time to get the hell away from them. I learned
the hard way.
To insure his arrival for the previously mentioned gig in Denver, I
flew to Nashville and met him at Guy Clarks' house. We then loaded up his
Buick Estate Wagon (rear wheel drive, no snow tires) with his Marshall
set up, their luggage and his girlfriend, Mona. We then proceeded to drive to
Denver, in some of the worse winter weather the midwest had to offer. The roads were
snow covered and icy throughout most of the trip. Compounding the effort, Rocky
insisted on driving, often drunk with a bloody mary "go cup" he'd acquired
by charming the restaurant/bar where we last stopped.
I was mostly relegated to the back seat, where I said as little as possible,
in fear of what this all might become.
Somehow it was worth it, because in the week that followed in the club,I
learned how to properly play (Texas) shuffles, and solidified my musical relation-
ship with him and the great bass player, Bill Rich.
That's a pretty accurate article.
I've written a fat chapter about my own experiences with him.
For all of us who tolerated his antics, it was so clear that
he could REALLY play. I played in a trio with him for a week
in Denver, and to this day I remember every song on that
Freddie King album Leon Russell produced. Rocky
played & sang EVERYONE of them, every night!.
He had an overboard predilection for strong predilections
and he & Van Zandt caught up on their spending while
staying at my house, as I think I've mentioned.
In my life, only Jim Pepper rivals Rocky Hill for sheer talent
and utter craziness.
Personal experience, Rocky was larger than life,
even for a Texan. His resume was "unimpeachable"
when it came to paying his dues with the masters.
He "didn't care" for Clapton or for that matter ANY
of the British blues acolytes. SRV followed him
around wherever he played inTexas when he was no
more than 15, I think.
He opened for his brothers' band one New Year's Eve
at some massive arena in Houston. Following his set,
he set his guitar on fire and, looking into the wings where
the "other band" watched,he said "follow that, mother fucker."
(I heard that from ZZ's stage sound mixer)
Rocky Hill - The anti Clapton
Rocky Hill - Texas Shuffle
' always liked that guy.
He had his niche.
I never made it
to that side of the strip mall. That place sounds rowdy.
When gambling was a lifestyle & an occupation.

No. He got paid to massage
you into thinking a great wrong would be righted.
Island Casinos and worse, cruise ships, where excitable
gamblers dwell, are fair game for the crows that pick them apart.
As we had previously discussed, I got my "education" at a renowned
joint in a Vegas strip mall in the shadow of the pre-fire MGM Grand.
Believe me, it was "Damon Runyon ALL OVER AGAIN" at Churchill Downs!
' bank on that, Myth.
Bookies ALWAYS win cap.....
From my experience they don't hold bets. They
lay them off so as to have a BALANCED book.
That's the purpose of "points."
They make a guaranteed 10% from the losing bets.
That is substantial, guaranteed income from every bet;
they don't gamble, they simply handicap.
Yeah, Baby.....
don't fick w Chick!
It was designed to annoy
your parents. Gibson loved him; 'sold a
lotta "335's"
First record I ever bought.
"administrative costs"
My particular experience w corruption on Antigua was benign,
cheap and financially rewarding.
There is/was a 100,000 watt am station that, given favorable
atmospherics, could be hear as far away as Barbados and
on occasion the west coast of Africa. Same thing on Tortola, BVI.
"Befriending" the program directors and the influential DJ's was
always a good experience. It was like the fifties here in the USA
I was Morris Levy.....they were Alan Freed..
I've agreed to donate
a sizeable percentage of my profits to
his rehab place on Antigua.
I've been on that island MANY times promoting
my music, and from that experience (with the
totally crooked casinos), I have my doubts how much of the
money raised actually goes to the designated purpose.
It's the kind of an island where corrupt money talks
and well intended efforts walk.
Right!
I've put in my bid for the exclusive string
concession back stage.
