Default -Who's Got A Birthday Today? (SEP 11)- (12 string)



---------
That's "BarbeCue," "vocalist," and "12 string." If you like Blind Willie
McTell you'll probably like Barbecue Bob too. I sure do. Faves are "Ease
It To Me," "Mississippi Heavy Water Blues," and "Good Time Rounder." ----------

-----------
I recently discovered his 1983 take on "Johnny B. Goode." It's very
different, of course....I like it. (And I'm no reggae fan!)

Of course a lot of folk from around here said their last goodbyes rather
suddenly on this date in 2001 too. I know you know that, Raj, but I felt it
had to be mentioned.
