Cyndi Lauper put out new Album called Memphis Blues and worked with a number of well known Blues artists on a lot of the cuts, B.B, Jonny Lang and Allen Toussaint to name a few.

I did some cool shows during that gig, Eric, and quite a few of them in the Blues category.

I did get to meet Mr. Dixon. I also was on stage for Ray Charles, and literally "ran into" him before the show. Some of the other blues artists included Koko Taylor and Buddy Guy.

The rock shows were mostly college circuit and semi-local. Cool part was always getting invited to the ater-parties. Some of the bands were R.E.M., Psychedelic Furs, Cheap trick, Charlie Daniels, and other mid-level bands.

I've been a huge blues fan for many years. As anyone can tell you who has been here... if you come to a herf here you are in for a dose of the blues!!

I love lots of old school blues, delta blues, Chicago blues, newer artists and everything in between. Gotta give it to my Jacksonville Beach homeboys though... Derek Trucks and Eric Steckel.

The first time I say Derek he was 15 and the first time I saw Eric he was 14. I have seen both a bunch since and look forward to their futures. As somebody else said... if you get a chance to see the current Allman Bros with Derek and Warren Haynes you should do it!!

I also have to post one of a good friend of mine that many may not have heard of Albert Castiglia. He was Junior Wells guitarist for a while and is a great "Cuban" blues man. If you are ever in south Florida you should look him up.

Great player. Awful singer. It was too bad he couldn't have kept rick derringer and edgar in his band. They might have owned electric blues.

He makes one note seem like 50 with the amount of soul he has. Amazing.

Akron? Really? That's right across the street practically.
I'll see if they're playing around here anywhere. :-)
