All blues, the whole blues, and nothing but the blues

Got to picking on some blues with old and new friends Oct. 7. This was with the Lowcountry Blues Club in North Charleston. Actually spent more time shooting & socializing than I did playing, but it was worth it. Broke out some tenor sax & didn’t totally stink up the place.

Juke Joint Johnny is one of the better-known harp players in the area. Hadn’t heard him in years. Of course we talked shop after playing.
Why did I keep thinking of the old blues movie Crossroads?
Don’t know who the bassist is, but he gave a real slap&pop clinic.
I needed to hear this guy – he really schooled me on sax.
It’s blues, so keys are essential.
Blues time.
Three chords and the truth.
