Lucille?

Bob R · 12-20-2003, 11:13 PM

Need some help here.

I'm a fan of small venue clubs. At Lupos Heartbreak Hotel, here in Providence, RI - I passed on Joan Osborne (bad decision), but I hit the motherload with Porcupine Tree (great choice).

So there's this player, who actually named his guitar "Lucille".

Could he be pretty good?

Should I take a chance and check him out?

unless i am greatly mistaken Lucille is BB Kings gitar .
If you miss seeing him in a small venue you deserve to be smacked-up-side the head !!!!!!!!!

Bob R · 12-21-2003, 12:23 AM

heh, heh.............

No "smacking" necessary, I'll be there.

I just wanted to know who knew about Lucille.

Didn't take long, did it?

Years ago in Memphis i used to go to a place called Solomin Alfreds (underage ) and i saw lots of then un knowns like George Therogood , Chrissy Hine and the Pretenders and quite a few i don' t rember .
I also used to go to Beal street befor it was safe for a white boy to be there on his own. The bouncers would let me in to the clubs just to get me off the street ( so i wouldn't end up on a slab in the morgue , and the club would be in the news paper for ANOTHER killing ) .
I saw some KILLLLLER old bluesmen !!!!! The watreses got to know me after a while and would let me stach my bicycle in the kitchens . KILLER ribs , cold beer , and EXELENT Tunes

Probably a few years earlier, I used to go to the Boston Tea Party, in …………..(doh!)

Richie Havens, J-Plane, & Ultimate Spinach.

I’d say more, if I could recall it.

Like the old man sitting on stage drinking longneck buds , out of no were he reached down , grabed his beer , took one last swig , broke the bottle and slipped the long neck on his finger and stated playing the MOST amazing slide gitar i have EVER heard !!!!

Hard to say , it depends on the moment , and the situation ( how much i have had to drink)

John Lee Hooker , Any thing , just any thing at all !!

Howlin Wolf , same same .

Mudy waters , same .

I like original tunes , covers are ok , some times better that the original .

One of the most bestest of ALL times album sets it
"may the circle be un broken "
by the nitygrity dirt band and various bluegrass folks ,
Alot of old dudes trying to educate young folks on what good music is supposed to be .

I got to see John Lee Hooker back in the day. That was cool.

Favorite tune: Tough call how about- The Sky is Crying SRV

Favorite album: Live at the Regal BB

There is a guy named Phil Petroff from Syracuse who is about the best unknown player/singer I ever ran into. One of the regular Cellaristas is married to a pretty fine professional blues guitarist. He is smooooooth.

Kim Wilson is out touring too, with a swell young guitarist, Jeremy Johnson.

As a female I enjoy when one of my own can tear it up like Sue Foley up in Ottawa. Yeah, yeah.

Hey KC, I love the Grand Emporium. They still booking good shows there?

Not strickly blues, but rooted... I'll never miss a chance to see the Paladins or the Belairs tear it up.
