Well, well, well....

All the local musicans showed up to see and hear the new kids... Yeah I saw them huddled up together and whisperin' as we started into out set and, yeah, it mighta had me doin' a little thinkin' durin' the first song 'er two but, hey, we got into a nice groove an' as we played more and more folks started to come 'round to give listen an' I got real loose endin' the set, I was playin' Slim Harpo's "King Bee" with me usin' my reso as a percussion instrument with my foot stomp as accompinment and the P-Vine just hangin' on the beat and let "Harp Boy" showed off a bunch o' his stuff an' just let the stomp and guitar purcussion fade and let Harp Boy have the last word... Never done that before but it worked real nice...

Then after a nice round o' applause, one of the local musicans who had been audtionin' us came over, introduced himself and asked us if we would consider comin' back July 4th for their annual July 4th Festival and playin' an hour?!!?!?.....

Well, danged right there, Big Guy....

So Iz passed the big test... July 4th will be like the smoke from the flame from the candle from the icing on the cake compared to today....

Whew.....

Fun fun FUN! Having met and heard both Bobert and Harp Boy, and having met the wonderful P-Vine, I can give a big thumbs-up to this one. Dang, wish I knew sooner-- almost have the Boondocker set up for a trip just like that!

If there are any Catters in the Virginia area with nuthin' to do this Saturday, May 28th, I'll be performing at the Farm Market at the old Train Depot from 11:00 am to noon... My harp player, Vince "Harp Boy" Farrabaugh will be accompanyin' me and the P-Vine will bring her assortment of percusssion instruments...

So, if you'd like to hear an hour of some fine North Mississippi Hill Country Stomp and Delta Blues, come on down (up)...

Also will be performing at Serendipity next Friday night in Leesburg, Va. and most like will also have my stand up bass player to fill out the band...
