Great Thread!

I'm a huge Blues fan, more of a Delta blues man myself Son House, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Lead Belly, and of course my favorite of them all, the man who sold his soul, the one the only Robert Johnson.

The only ones I have trouble with from his 1930 set are the ones with lots of 'noise' that no matter how much remastering is done, they are still to degraded to hear much.

Absolutely, huge talent. I believe he lives in High River now, but I could be mistaken.

And Tim Williams from Calgary is great too.

He starts playing at about 1:40

I think Keith Richards could play most anything on a guitar. Here he is with some acoustic blues

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

And with Clapton and John Lennon. The beginning with Lennon talking is really sappy so skip to the music, around 1:00 mark or so

Do a search on Amos Garrett, you will be totally surprised at who he has played with.

For any who might be interested, I thought I would share this info I received from the Cantos Music Foundation.

Quote:
In collaboration with The Calgary Blues Music Association and Friends of the King Eddy, Cantos sings the blues at the monthly Blue Mondays Jam. Held on the last Monday of every month jammers of all ages and levels of ability come together to learn, teach and make music.

Our music room stage has great lighting, great acoustics and musicians have access to some of the instruments from our amazing collection. The focus is blues and blue-inspired music.

The Workshops: Every second Blue Monday we host a workshop relevant to music and musicians. One workshop might focus on blues techniques with your instrument while the next might be how to manage a band.

The Tour: On the Blue Mondays where no workshop is offered, the public is welcome to take a guided interactive tour of our incredible collection free of charge at 6 p.m. preceding the jam.

Where:
Cantos Music Foundation
134 - 11 Ave SE, Calgary

When:
Workshop 5:00-6:30 p.m., Jam 7-10 p.m.

Cost:
FREE

For more information, please contact Candace Elder at (403) 543-6282 or elderc@cantos.ca
