Good Blues To Ya
Yes
all over Florida from st augustine to key west with both band as well as the caribbean.
and as far north as chicago.
Love to play live.
I believe "Take me Back' is special because it was totaly improvised from some shows I saw with Coco montoya, as well as a few girls I new. Meeting Pine Top Perkins was very special because he played with muddy and can still tell some stories as well as play his ass off
My influences are so many these days from playing big shows and seeing what really goes on.
Used to be Eric Clapton but now there are many more
