Thank you Kenny,,,, that brought back some good memories having spent some
quality time in several places just like that. I like a little bit more
drummer but I sure enjoyed your trip down memories lane. If this lady was
from Louisiana, it was the northern part of the state. The places I went
to, they had a little more mud between their toes with a touch of French in
their words. Always a tip for the band and one for the singer makes a
person part of the family if they act right and I did. Good memories,,,
thanks

I felt a few people would enjoy this. Your right Harv, this lady was
raised in Monroe, LA until she was twelve years old. Then her father
moved the family to Jackson, Miss where she is to this day. I would
really love to drive down to Jackson to see her sing. It's only a few
hours from here. Here's a note about her.

Harv, I worked all over Louisana for several years and went to many
places such as this. Heard some great music in that time. Wouldn't
trade that time in my life for anything.
One of my favorite blues albumins is Eric Clapton doing "Me and Mr.
Johnson". He sings nothing but Robert Johnson songs throughout the CD
and was actually raised on this type of music. It made a big
impression on him. Robert Johnson was from the 20s and 30s in the
delta area of Miss and Ark. Most of the time he performed he only had
an acoustic guitar and a microphone, if he was lucky, but he was
really a poet when it came to writing and singing blues. When Eric
Clapton did this CD the music was so clear to listen to and made you
realize why he did these songs. Great blues music.
Here's a bit about Robert Johnson.

Glad you both enjoyed it.
