A very fine guitarist - RIP.

Based on these stories, I wonder how he treated his sidemen.

I was going to write, all Texans are brothers, but I know there are at least a few that you disassociate yourself from. And I should have written that, based on Dave James' quotes, he comes off as a poor version of Don Meredith.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

I meant dumb like someone who's possibly trying to be funny, but ain't succeeding - just judging from the quotes that Dave James provided. You seem protective of him. Is he a relative of yours?

I'm not a big Tommy Flanagan fan, but I like that one.

I respect anyone who has the patience (and sometimes technical ability) to deal with tubed equipment. I have neither (though I did have a tubed preamp in my system for a number of years with no problems). Anyway, happy listening, Stefan. Enjoy the music!

I never heard him - no interest in football these days - but, from what you posted, he sounds like a dumb version of Don Meredith.

Looks like you're on a Horace kick these days, John. A good thing.

YEAH!

I agree.

Two beauties - and two of my all time favorites. You must have had a great listening day.

I couldn't find that image in the Withers book, but there are other photos, evidently from the same show - the WDIA Revue - which picture Ray Charles, Rufus Thomas, Elvis, Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters, and Howlin' Wolf. The woman pictured was evidently an employee of radio station WDIA.

A delight. I was turned on to this one by Jeff, who's a longtime Wodehouse fan.

That's one of the good things about this place. You can get reminders of recordings you've ignored for a while.

That one seems to be getting a few spins here lately.
