NEWS: 2020 NEW BOOK - IMMERSED IN BLUES - A Musical Journey | ||||||||
Someone has put up a Youtube tune of me playing backing guitar with blues harp virtuoso John McKittrick in 1972. John plays with an incredibly soulful feeling. Check it out here I have also located some Sid Rumpo YouTube clips from the 70's. These can be found on the Sid Rumpo page under 'Bands'. I have published a new book, Immersed in Blues, which is about my take on the Blues. It contains chapters on blues concepts, history, record labels, seminal albums and blues players, together with a lot of my own thoughts about blues, according to my experiences with Sid Rumpo, The Elks and the Roosters. You can browse it on Amazon. If you wish to order it, please email me and I will sort it out.
