saturnalia 9 July 2022. WHRB blues show. "take It easy baby' by "The Yardbirds". actually it's Sonny Boy Williamson and the yardbirds recorded 8 Dec 63, crawdaddy club, richmond. Ten Years After, "head's in '73", i was swapping all my ole country records to Solomon gruberger (in brooklyn?!?) for his British Invasion records so when I heard Sonny Boy Williamson SOLO AND on harp with "bye bye bird' on this 7 jan 66 album i was enthralled and began trying to ape him! take note of a young Eric Clapton's guitar solo: same scales but no Cream-type Marshalls, so Even Dwarves Started Small!"....

samedi 9 July 2022, two pm. tuned into WNTN Newton 1550 AM and instead of the Hollywood Kid (interviews with Hollywood legends) was a country show by their disco dj! Modern country tho BUT "and now here's an oldie; "all my exes live in texas" (George Strait, 1987) and yes that IS true of the "Princess of the Trailer park!" (dinorecords.net). Mach bell is superb on that song on "not fade away" maracaaas and Keith Relf harp. DO buy both books The Gospel According to Saint Mach"!"..
