Soul Stream Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 Hey y'all, Been out of the loop on the forum for a while, usual post divorce stuff last couple years have kept me busy to say the least. But the clouds are parting and got some good stuff coming my way, and wanted to let you know...if you happen to be going to Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festival in April at Madison Square Garden... I'll be playing B3 April 13th with Jimmie Vaughan and also Dave Biller (phenomenal guitar player from here in Austin) on the big ol' main stage. Not sure if any of my organissimo brethren will be there, but if so, I'll be representin'! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 Awesome! If you meet Clapton, tell him you know the perfect organist for him. Quote

Tell us about it afterwards. Quote
robertoart Posted March 22, 2013 Report Posted March 22, 2013 Great achievement Soul Stream. Personally I find Jimmy Vaughan a little to far towards the Rockabilly spectrum on my Blues Rainbow to really have much of an interest per se. But one thing for sure, any guitarist will eventually come across those Crossroads performances one way or another, if you're a guitarist or got guitar friends, you'd have to be on the moon to avoid it. Re- Jake Langley, I have come across his playing a lot in the YouTube universe, he is a great player and has a really earthy approach. One of my favourites who is not maybe so well known 'yet'. By the way, did you ever come around to liking Blood Ulmer's playing on Accent On The Blues and Memphis To New York Spirit? I remember reading many years ago on the board how you would have preferred 'any' other guitarist on those sessions They're some of my favourite Organ/Guitar recordings and I can't see how any Patton aficionado could see it any differently Quote
mjzee Posted April 12, 2013 Report Posted April 12, 2013 Earl Klugh is a "fingerpicker"? Weird characterization. Quote
Brad Posted April 18, 2013 Report Posted April 18, 2013 I had planned to go but real life got in the way Quote
Aggie87 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Posted April 18, 2013 Loved the pics on your Facebook page, Mike! Wish I could have been there. I'll have to settle for seeing you at the Continental Club again some time I guess! Quote

Soul Stream Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Posted April 22, 2013 It was pretty surreal....amazing all the way around!!! Kinda hard to even put it in words. Tried to upload some pics but the files were all too big it seems. I did meet Keith Richards among many others. It was pretty wild! Probably the best organ I ever played in my life too...amazing, as it was rented. An early 70's mint B3! Quote

It's gotta be cool to meet the English rock stars inside the legendary Garden or anywhere, even. Quote

Then you can click "Edit" and choose 'compress" to get the photos to a size that is uploadable. Or of course you could use a photo hosting site and just link. Quote
Soul Stream Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Posted April 22, 2013 Here's one... I took my styling cues from Jack McDuff's "Silk and Soul" Lp, of course! ">http:// Quote
