As Robert Cray said, "If I'm famous, how come Katie Webster isn't." Bless them all.<br />Queen Ida is an idol too. She did a cooking gig in Green Bay, sat down with the students for a feast. Wish I'd been there.<br />Will see George Thorogood here in October. Ever good Thorogood.<br />Wonder full blog. Rock on.

I remember Thackery... heard one of his albums a long time ago. I wouldn't put it past either one of them to play slide with a shovel.<br /><br />Sorry about the pace... I'm looking to get these stories wrapped up for the weekend. But they'll be here, so take your time. I'm glad you're enjoying them.bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-60961970621798653602010-03-15T20:43:31.188-04:002010-03-15T20:43:31.188-04:00You need to go with me up to KClingers in Hanover,...You need to go with me up to KClingers in Hanover, Pa next time Lil' Ed plays up there. He's all of about 5' 5" by my estimation. But he's a wildman. First time I saw him he was dressed all in red including a red fez and red Converse All-Stars. And he had a necktie on that was a mirror! <br /><br />I saw George Thorogood at Heinz Hall of all places in 1982. And on top of that, the opening band was The Nighthawks when Jimmy Thackery played guitar for them. I can't remember who it was, but either Thackery or Thorogood played some slide guitar that night using a coal shovel as a slide! <br /><br />Just saw Lonnie Brooks last summer, and Elvin 'Pigboy Crabshaw' Bishop a few years back. Both at the Chesapeake Blues Fest in Annapolis. Koko I mentioned seeing earlier in the Buddy Guy sequence.<br /><br />Man, you are posting these stories faster than I can get to them! Great stuff though. I really enjoy this series.stilladoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285627481905127205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-1253403367075182892010-03-15T18:02:04.238-04:002010-03-15T18:02:04.238-04:00Goldey:

I’ve seen him play 4 times, most recently was 2 years ago at Power Plant Live and last year at Pier 6. A George show is just so primal, so primitive. If cavemen had stereos, they’d play George Thorogood.bluzdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991272670722362652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-24689323768948397222010-03-15T08:17:45.080-04:002010-03-15T08:17:45.080-04:00George Thorogood was a staple where I grew up.

Newark knew George before he got all famous and whatnot. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-21517016236747810222010-03-14T21:49:25.903-04:002010-03-14T21:49:25.903-04:00It almost seems like it all happened to someone el...It almost seems like it all happened to someone else.
