All this blues talk reminds me of a good story about Johnny Johnson, blues pianist who played for Chuck Berry. He came to Houston on a Thursday to do a Friday night gig at a smallish rock club (which I attended, great show). He gets a call from Eric Clapton who is playing The Summit (large basketball arena, sold out), would he like to come over and sit in? So he does, then the next night does the small club ... must be nice to have fans like Clapton.

All of whom usually play at the Milestone every now and again. If you like your blues, it's the best pub in the area.
Fortunatly the Mean Red Spiders did a one of freebe gig last year which I managed to attend.

Blimey, did my mate Denny turn up?
Last seen parading as Denny Newman's Blues Incorporated?
Or Geoff Whitehorn? Though admittedly he is more of a London boy...

I don't tend to play music to cheer myself up, rather it's a case of music to suit my emotions.
You blues people, Muddy Waters has an album called "Electric Mud", which his record company wanted him to do, cashing in on the heavy '60's guitar scene. Any good?

If it's the Johnny Winters produced sessions recorded araound 74/75(?), then yes, they are classics.
A rare, and early example of rock and blues actually complementing each other.

If I may say, A lot of the past musicians who we now call great. Started out using material riped off form somewhere else. Those who composed the originals are now forgotton.

As this has risen back to the top, I may as well point out that Electric Mud is considered one of the worst albums in the history of the Blues.
