Turn this on!

has anyone else been watching this series? I haven't been able to watch all of it, but I want to see it on repeat.

[Brucey]

1. Yes, I'm watching and listening!

I'm loving it... so fun to learn about the history of music and hear all these great musicians.

[RainDog]

2. Have you ever read Land Where Blues Began?

or Chasin' That Devil Music?

HoneyBoy Edwards was just in my town last week.

Have you ever caught any of the Fat Possum tours for the classic delta blues players?

They come through here, too.

3. I have been watching the series all week

Outstanding! Great stuff.

[LosinIt]

4. Thought that was Tom Jones wish they would say who these guys are

it's really annoying. I guess they figure that if you don't know just from looking at them, you don't need to know.

[RainDog]

6. yeah, Tom Jones back to the roots.

Jeff Beck is playing electric guitar.

Eric Clapton...you recognize him? He's one of the guys talking, wearing a gray shirt.

Peter Green, of Fleetwood Mac, was when that band started. Early on, they were blues...English blues by way of American black musicians.

Van Morrison is heavy set, wearing a hat, talks sort of closed mouthed, which is strange, compared to the way he sings.

...this segment is about England and how the blues influenced them.

does that help any?

8. Stevie Winwood

is they guy they're interviewing who's wearing a brown sweater.

5. That last Muddy Waters segment was outstanding

[RainDog]

7. they'll probably show last night's show after this one

or they have been. last night was Jimmy Hendrix, which is what I remember the most...his Blues cd is one of my favorites.

I forget who else was on right now, but it's hard to think about that, type, and listen to the music.

9. Not only Tom, Jeff, and Van, but

the John Lennon 1970 Live Peace in Toronto film clip with Eric Clapton, Klaus Voorman, et al
Woohoo - Live Peace in Toronto - the best single sided album ever pressed. Side 2 could be used as a burglar deterrent. (Yoko)
