Neil,

I know that you're a Johnny Winter fan. There are a lot of similarities between the two. Rory was straight ahead Rock and Blues, 'Live In Europe' is the only Rory album I have,it is quite similar in style and feel to Johnnys' 'Live, And.'

I think that one would be a good starting point for you.

I saw him once on the worst booked bill I've ever seen. He opened, the third act was Rick Derringer, the closing act was Aerosmith, makes sense so far, right?

The act between Rory and Derringer was Henry Gross who did that horrible, schmaltzy song "Shannon" about the dog who drowned. Who could have booked that? Rory was great that day though.
