    RL will be greatly missed, with Little Milton and Clarence Gatemouth Brown, we've lost a few greats in the last few months.

      Damn, I had heard about R.L. and Little Milton but Gate was a shock. He was a cranky old fella but he was a true genre defying musician. Sadly, we also lost Detroit Junior recently.

      What is going to happen to our blues when all we have left is psuedo-blues bands?

      I didn't know about Gatemouth either. He was a real entertainer and player of lots of instruments, some of them very well.

      Support those artists and see em while you can!

        I'm lucky enough to live in Chicago so I go as often as I can. Unfortunately, the business side of blues show business has kind of put the bite on many of these buys touring through here like they did a few years ago.
