I've never seen John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in concert

But I have seen the following blues breaker alumni

Great guitarists like Walter Trout

(In fact, I will be seeing him again Friday night)

Carolyn Wonderland


Coco Montoya


Regarding the old 60s and 70s guitarists, I saw Eric Clapton way back when. There is no reason to share a clip from that dipshit. We all know who he is.

I saw Mick Taylor too, and he for sure deserves spot here


Not a Bluesbreaker guitarist but I saw Aynsley Dunbar with Starship, Ronnie Montross and Pat Travers.


Last but not least, I saw Jack Bruce on tour with BLT

Really pretty cover of my favorite Tony Rice song

In case you'd forgotten

Tonight, I'm listening to 2 blues players that should be universally renowned but aren't.

This is the long-awaited Albert addition

First up, Albert King

"Listen, I dreamed that I was lucky, but I woke up cold'n in hand"

"If you're down an' out, an' you feel real hurt - Come on over, to the place where I work"



Next up Albert Collins

I can't really excerpt the lyrics as easily with Mr. Collins. This tribute to SRV is one of scores or instrumental songs the Iceman released back in the day



This one is pretty good though "I got a cold cold feelin'. You're just like ice around my heart"

DU MA, it's my bedtime. This is my lullaby tonight. Again. It was my lullaby a few years ago too

Big men playing with small instruments

As a Cardinal fan with Yinzer roots, this play has me smiling ear to ear

Anytime the Cubs lose is a plus for me and no, this play doesn't erase the slam dance the baby bears put on the Bucs yesterday.

But watch the nonsense unfold here:

Like Betelgeuse said of The Exorcist" - "I've watched it 100 times and it just gets funnier every time"

This game puts the Buccos ahead of the Cubs in the standing BTW

Guitar Shorty has passed at the age of 83

Vicious electric blues player and a blues and rock guitar influence from way back - He was Jimi Hendrix's Brother-in-law and taught him how to use the Wah Wah Pedal.

I've posted his music here a couple times before, his tone was fat and his timing impeccable.

RIP David William Kearney. You were one of the originals



Here's a 45 from 1957and he was rocking that guitar way back then too
