Bison Event, Hotel Schweizerhof in Lucerne

Here I asked Lurrie Bell (son of Chicago Blues Harmonica master Carey Bell) to join me on stage.  We just played how my father and I used to, as did Lurrie and his father. Man, it was a good feeling when friends can just play and have some fun with the down home blues.  We played many of my favourites including an old T-Bone Walker song Stormy Monday.

Thank you to Bison for hosting this event.

Lucerne Blues Festival 2009

The new tour to promote my Live in San Antonio CD got off to a good start over in Switzerland at the Lucerne Blues Festival.   The final show we performed in the Casino left us on cloud 9 from the love we received and also CD less!

It was so wonderful to see the city of Lucerne taking part in bringing the blues to a wider audience by creating days packed full of music, volunteering time, food and whatever they can to make the festival memorable for the city and to all who visited.    

Over 80 artists performed, from newcomers to old friends like Dorothy Moore, Mud Morganfield, Bob Corritore and Eddie Shaw, I was so happy to see them all again. 

I left there with new songs in my heart, a time we will never forget.
