My favorit bands are Booker T and the M Gs and the Fabulous Thunderbirds.
They are keeping the blues alive and having the blues evolve. This is the blues of today. great rhythm section, great guitarists and Kim Wilson, one of the greatest blues singers of all time and one of the greatest harp players of all time. [he's pretty much the only guy I hear people say could be on the same level as Little Walter] He gets the party goin and sings with such deep feeling, you could not speak english and still have a good idea what he is singing about. Big fun, the real deal, Ive seen them 10 times.
My first time at Indian Ranch, great place, concert on a lake, no problems, all cool.
