I caught their show at the University of Cape Coast while in the Peace Corps, and a great show it was! I still have a recording of a few of their songs. The drummer was named Snake and I didn't catch the name of the Bass player. Junior Wells just called him "My brother". 720785@blogcritics.org Sat, 24 May 2008 02:34:03 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/02/25/172444.php#comment-706296 well ac was one in a class all buy himself a excellent songwriter and a wicked saxaphone player ac gave me a job in the eighties as a guitar player and it was a excellent experience i used to always laugh with the sparkplugs on stage i was happy cause we were promoting im in the wrong business but ac used to make me and the band laugh between songs i can remember the first night in new york he was jumping up and down going im full of shit im full of shit the drummer looked at me and we both just bussed out laughing ac always had something funny to say and if any of the sparkplugs can remember the jokes in the hotel room i aint gonna say but they would remember anyways ac had interesting stories to tell and i had a lot of respect for him that was the best band i ever toured with and there will never be a better songwriter story teller saxaphone player of that calibre again sometimes ac drove buy the exit when he use to say i know these roads buy the back of my hand we knew it was because he was old or maybe ac was just playing with us just to take the stress of being on the road for long hours anyways sometimes grumpy but on stage hilarious professional love his sax sound and excellent blues singer storyteller a major loss to the blues community rest in peace ac your friend and partner in blues roland . 706296@blogcritics.org Mon, 31 Mar 2008 14:42:49 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/02/25/172444.php#comment-704842 Time is slowly taking away the masters who are such powerful and important influences.
