Bruce Ewan, great DC harpman and vocalist, is coming to DK. It's a long planned vacation, but he'll have a bit of time to join me as a duo at MOJO Blues Bar in Copenhagen, the best blues dive in Denmark. This Wednesday, 7-8:30pm. Incidentally I met him through Bobby Radcliff, his older brother!

Heading back to Memphis, and then Copenhagen tomorrow. Sad to leave Mexico! I love playing and visiting this wonderful and complex country. Here's a highlight from one of my shows (with Emiliano Juarez and his band) in Mexico City.

I post blues guitar lesson/chats every week, almost always on Monday. These aren't about 'licks', 'shredding' or some kind of guitar 'system', they're about interesting and compelling blues guitarists of the past, and what they actually played.

Sad news from Chicago, I'll miss you Rob Lorenz. I first met him when he was playing with Dave Myers at The Checkerboard. He played w Lurrie Bell, Eddie C. Campbell, Tail Dragger for a long time, and for a few years in my band. He loved his family, his friends and playing the blues.
