Subject: RE: Howlin' Wolf Museum News
I'm really gonna look for that Wolf DVD. It has to be pretty fine.
Scaramouche, He had an unbelievable voice. It sure does stick in one's mind. The timbre vibrated your beer mug right off the table! And Hubert Sumlin did that lead picking with TWO FINGERS. That's how I remember it anyway.
Siegel-Schwall's band sounded more like an old blueman with an acoustic guitar sittin' on his porch, singing, and tappin' his foot than any other band back then I've always thought. And when the guys all took their solos, the rest seemed to all be a part of that big BEAT. It was great! Reminded me a a four man version of Sam Lightnin' Hopkins...
I do hope the museum brings tons of folks to town.
