Buy Chinese Diazepam Having played with greats Lonnie Brooks and even R&B acts like Little Richard as well as Etta James and Zydeco legend Clifton Chenier…unfortunately we got word that Phillip Walker passed on Thursday July 22 – apparently due to heart failure in Palm Springs at the too young age of 73.
go here Not a household name, but well known by blues enthusiasts, especially in California where he migrated and made a great career, Phillip was, by all accounts, a virtuoso blues guitar player that could be equally good across a broad spectrum of blues and R&B styles.

Buy Cheap Roche Valium Buddy Guy is about to turn 74 years young this July 30th, yet he is still as vibrant, creative and influential as he has ever been.
follow site Looking at his latest tour schedule over at his Buddy Guy’s website, it shows a very active tour schedule with Europe through the month of July (taking a queue from BB King’s summer tours in Europe) coming back to North America for what will be some really cool shows with Tom Petty in the Northeast, BB King in California, and then the central states, linking up with Johnny Lang for some more North East shows – -taking him all the way through November!
https://www.thephysicaltherapyadvisor.com/2024/09/18/9vzk8n8wf Folks, kids of 20 would have trouble keeping up with this demanding schedule, so get out and see him when he comes into your town…Buddy ALWAYS puts on a terrific show.
Buy Diazepam 2Mg Online Uk I personally am hoping he adds a few more Ontario Canada dates, we love him up here…but I know I’ll get to see him sometime during the summer.
https://trevabrandonscharf.com/ulndzzj One of the killer shows of the year would be those summer dates with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers who have a sizzling hot blues CD out…I haven’t been able to stop listening to “Mojo” since it came out. We posted some videos of his Tom Petty’s “Mojo” material here.

https://semnul.com/creative-mathematics/?p=dg52umzdq Dawg FM - All Blues Radio
https://technocretetrading.com/9jdjf0x It has been years since I have really listened to the radio, fed up with the softies, alternative crap that all sounds pretty much the same – even country music has become so watered down it’s tough to even recognize it as country anymore.
https://www.parolacce.org/2024/09/18/ithds40r3ic That all changed last week when Canada’s first all-blues radio station hit the airwaves, DawgFM 101.9 in Ottawa – with global simulcast around the world from their internet site – DawgFM
source Already I’m hearing Stevie Ray, Stevie Wonder, Allman Brothers, Buddy Guy and BB King songs that I had either forgotten or never heard…yesterday I even found myself sitting in my car at the local coffee shop because I wanted to hear the next song coming up — I haven’t done that for a radio station for well over 10-years!
enter At the helm of the announcers is long-time veteran and the coolest guy on radio Jeff Winter…having come back to Ottawa just for this opportunity.
https://traffordhistory.org/lookingback/9merpyso Here’s hoping that we all support these guys and that the station prospers – bringing blues to an entirely new generation.
https://boxfanexpo.com/7dhbbuc They are running a cool guitar a day giveaway right now that makes listening even more fun.

see url I’ve always been a Tom Petty fan but have to admit I don’t own any of his CD’s and could take or leave his music on any given day…but I have seen him live and certainly would see him again.
But now there is something to get excited about, after crossing that fine line between guitar rock and blues, Petty has made something that really got me excited for the first time ever…
What else would you call an album where you tackle the blues head-on – but “Mojo!“
And…how could it not be great when you combine the soul and experience of Tom Petty with the influence of great blues guitar players and musicians like Albert King and Muddy Waters along with the intelligence to go with a live recording setting keeping overdubs to a minimum
That seems to hold great potential for a kick-ass blues album.
Ready to come out June 15th, preview tracks – the Zepplin, Jack White influenced version of “I Should Have Known It” and the up-tempo traditional blues “Jefferson Jericho Blues” both serve to illustrate the raw guitar power of Mike Campbell, the cool blues swagger of Petty and the tightness of a band that has played an eternity together on the road.
Take a listen to Jefferson Jericho Blues —
And now the rougher, tougher rocking blues number “I Should Have Known”
In that first number, it is clear that he and his band are having a blast — freed up to play some of the most natural music straight from the heart.
There is even a slower blues number called “Taking My Time” that shows Petty has thought through the full scope of blues styles for Mojo – his latest blues CD
Quite a departure for Petty and his Heartbreaker’s Band who set aside the cool California rock sound for a rougher, more spontaneous and raw blues record…my only comment is…where has this been for the last few decades?
What do you think of the new Tom Petty sound?

Arghhh…any of you ever have this happen? I broke the whammy bar off and the threaded portion stayed deep inside the bridge on my Fender Strat – after spending close to 2-hours trying various methods to get it out, I finally broke down and bought a new bridge, whammy bar combination for just over $100 CDN.
Truth is I lived with it for almost 2-months, but not having my whammy bar was driving me a little nuts.
So finally today I replaced the entire bridge, restrung and re-tuned the Strat and she is back to normal.
Seriously though – there has to be a way of getting the threaded portion out.
I tried a screw extractor tool for a local hardware store where you drill a pilot whole into the piece that is stuck, then place the heavy-threaded extractor into the pilot hole and theoretically it was supposed to remove the stuck piece.
No such luck, all it did was further mess up the whole to the point it was unrepairable.
Oh well, there seems to be a fair number of others that have done the same thing, so at least I’m not alone!

Standing immediately in the middle of the incredible evolution of blues from the front porches and fields of America is Big Bill Broonzy, the often cited, but rarely seen blues guitar player who influenced generations of modern musicians.
Big Bill really had 3 careers wrapped up in one, starting with more traditional country blues evolving to a more refined (and popular with white audience) blues sound more reminiscent of the Chicago blues sound ending his career by delving deeply into folk, perhaps merging his earlier country traditional blues roots with his more popularized urban blues guitar sound.
I live listening to his stuff because every time I listen to one of his songs I here pure innovation in the guitar, something that even shines through some 70-80 years later.
Born in June of 1898 playing guitar well into the 1950’s before his death in 1958, Big Bill Broonzy is definitely someone a new or experienced blues guitar player can learn from.
For instance, watch this brilliant version of Hey, Hey – a very early guitar shuffle with both hands extremely active while he keeps such an infectious rhythm…no wonder he became one of the earliest blues guitar artists that crossed over into popularity across colors…watch this carefully:

The Recording Academy has recognized one of the last remaining touring delta blues blues guitar players David “Honeyboy” Edwards. According to the Academy…”The Lifetime Achievement Award honors lifelong artistic contributions to the recording medium” – a full press release can be found here
Pretty good company too including musicians: Leonard Cohen, Michael Jackson, Loretta Lynn, Bobby Darin, Andre Previn, and Clark Terry spanning blues, pop, country and jazz…just the way music should be.
At the ripe young age of 94, “Honeyboy” is still actively touring putting me in mind of the great Pinetop Perkins – dedicating their lives to blues music.
Born in 1915 and having known Robert Johnson when he was growing up, it is so important that we listen, learn and appreciate guys like Honeyboy – they are the history of blues guitar.
Honeyboy Edwards was known for songs including “Long Tall Women Blues” and “Just Like Jesse James” – this is one of my favorites, just listen to the blues guitar work on this one – sweet…

There is no retirement in the blues music world for sure, but surely at age 84 and 73 – blues guitar greats BB King and Buddy Guy could be excused for laying low and not wanting to put on so many bus miles, yet they continue to amaze with fairly full schedules.
Today we hear about these brilliant blues kings hitting Caesars Atlantic City on February 13th – a must see show for anyone who understands the influence on music these two giants have had.
Just take a look at Buddy’s travel schedule for shows over the next couple of months, whew – not sure I could keep up with this..(he’s even making his way over to Australia for some shows in March!)
All of this after a series of shows Buddy Guy has played at his own “Buddy Guy’s Legends” famous Chicago blues club. Back in September news was released of an impending move of Buddy’s Legends club, it turns out plans are made and within the next few months he will be moving from his latest location.
I have been to Legends 4 times and always make it a point to stop there if I’m in Chicago for any length of time – it is a MUST visit no matter what night of the week. Here’s the Legends website to keep track of things as they wind down their current location and get ready to start another.
We are so lucky to have BB and Buddy still with us, I’m hoping to catch BB later in the Fall of 2010 when he visits Ottawa and the great National Arts Center — something to look forward to for sure!

Being from Canada and a big blues guitar fan Colin James is one Canadian artist I have followed consistently over the last 22-years, since his first self-titled debut “Colin James” was released. Though now with him living out in Western Canada, we don’t get to see him as much as I would like.
Colin was rooted in the blues at an extremely early age, was touched by the magic of fellow blues guitar slinger Stevie Ray Vaughan as a teen and has since gone on to be one of the most diverse, entertaining and creative artists in Canadian music history.
While Colin always stays rooted in the blues, he hasn’t been afraid to mix it with equal parts jazz, jump jazz, country and pop – we never know what we are getting from Colin next, but rest assured it will be worth listening to.
Here is a cool clip from a recent Canadian tour where Colin does some mean acoustic blues guitar with a rhythm that just won’t quit. Sounds like his is mixing parts from a few blues classics in here – definitely Rock Me Baby is mixed in, but it is the acoustic guitar work that really makes this clip interesting – take a watch.
How’s that for some nifty finger-picking and with the old I-IV-V chord progression?

For fans of the Vaughan brothers masterful blues guitar playing, here is a vintage clip where Jimmie Vaughan is at his best with a smoking blues song from the Fabulous Thunderbirds called “The Crawl”
Watch as these Texas guitar greats dual with rare footage of Stevie Ray playing a Fender Telecaster and brother Jimmie playing behind his head. Sibling rivalry or just plain Texas blues guitar jamming, what do you think?
