I'm coming out of Antarcicta in the next day or two. The weekend of th 22nd I'll be in Sydney. The following weekend I'll be in Melbourne. The weekend after that I'll be in Hobart, then I start heading north again through Melbourne and back to Sydney the weekend of March 15-17. I play guitar and want to check out any traditional (meaning pre-war up to about 1966) blues bands, artists, or clubs in those cities, or points between. I know they're out there! I'll be driving either through the mountains or down the coast. Anybody into Lonnie Johnson, Charlie Patton, Blind Lemon, Skip James, Otis Rush, Wolf, early B.B, Sonnyboy, Guitar Slim, etc. got any ideas? Any and all info/suggestions would be much appreciated. I've been cloistered away with my tapes and CD's too long. Got to get out and rub shoulders with some live blues fans!

Cheers,

Iceboy
