And the great old blues is no less great than it was 30 years ago! We may well have run into each other, especially down in Kent. I also recall when the Flats were seedy as hell. Very nice to hear from you 114440@blogcritics.org Thu, 3 Feb 2005 09:30:41 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/10/31/095543.php#comment-114417 Hey dude,....I was hanging out down in Coventry in the Heights back in '73. We could have been 'righteous' groovers, if our paths had crossed . I used to play a mean 'harp' back then,.... AKA: the harmonica. I was 20 at the time and jammed with my Cleveburg friends. I was and still am into the (the old Black blues musicians) like Sonny Boy Williamson. Although John Mayhall and Paul Butterfield were the young bucks of the day. Me and my buds used to hit the bong and groove out , later drive all over that crazy city. One dude had a place his band rented for practice that was down near the Flats. In the bad old days, when that wasn't the coolest place to be late at night. We used to drive to Chesterland to catch bands play at this place called Hullaballoo, or something very '70's like that. Kent, and John Carroll, were close enough for checking out the music scene too. All I can say is 'small groovey world',...man. (Ala Cheech and Chong,......man.) Great tale,.....better than choking on your own vomit like Hendrix. Artists and musicians have suffered much, on their journey towards greatness or mediocrity. Fate had better plans for you. 114417@blogcritics.org Thu, 3 Feb 2005 00:09:54 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/10/31/095543.php#comment-26238 Thanks Craig! It's all true.
