Subject: RE: Chicago Brother And Sister Blues Band
Juliette and Bruce were probably the best buskers to ever play any style, anywhere. They could play blues that sounded like a 4 pc band,setting up in minutes, they must have powered the amps with a car battery. Juliettes voice drew the masses, and she had showmanship and class. They would often set up for lunch break at 2nd and Market in SF when I worked there from 96-01. A crowd of over 100 people would gather, others tipped a dollar or 5 as they passed. The police would show within about 1/2 an hour and people would boo the police, Juliette would say "its ok, it's ok, they are just doing their job. The police seemed to be civil toward them in return, and I have seen well over $100. in their case made in minutes. RIP Juliette.
