Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it, Rob. I aim to  please<G>..and I 
HAD specifically meant to include  
Steve Cropper in the Donald 'Duck' Dunn reference--but at that point was  
running on empty and afraid I'd lose the email from my balky computer so hit  
send too soon. 
 
 
Thanks! for bringing his name to our attention. He MORE than deserves the  
kudos. The guy's amazing..they all are (and were).
 
A little taste of his and Duck's brilliance:

I personally got such a kick out of the Blues Bros. movie clips I watched  
them all several times then sought out the best versions (some were very 
fuzzy).  Besides Aretha and Matt, Elwood's 'dance' is really something. Besides 
playing  through a green bullet, Dan Aykroyd was really quite limber when 
he was younger.  You must have had a blast (and heard and still hear a lot of 
great 'road'  stories) touring with this band. 
 
 
Oh to be a fly on the wall. ;)
 
 
Warsaw is where my mother's parents came from originally although I've  
never been. Hope it's a good place to play.
 
Have fun!
 
Best, Elizabeth
 
"Elizabeth...Thanx for these Memphis Slim and Blues Bros Clips....I'm now  
cracking up cuz I'm sittin here in POLAND with The Original Blues Brothers  
Band.....Matt "Guitar" Murphy was indeed on many sessions and live gigs 
with  
Memphis Slim and James Cotton. I worked with Matt in the Blues Brothers 
when  
I first joined in 2001, after his stroke he is no longer touring w/ us  
anymore but STILL playing and recording.....I had some nice chats on the 
Bus  
w/ Matt about Cotton and Slim....

Since Duck Dunn's and Alan Rubin's  passing there are only 2 left that are 
currentely with us, Steve The  Colonel' Cropper and Blue Lou 
Marini.......we 
do a concert at The Palladium  tonite in Warsaw and then head up to 
Trondheim, Norway Foir a  Festival.....

I get some nice Harmonica Features with the band and as I  said the the 
road 
stories are priceless and fun....

If anyone wants  to hookup for a Harp Lesson in Norway, I'll have 2 days 
off 
before our  Festival on 9/8/12 please contact me off list....

I'm honored to share  the stage with these guys every night....

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer  Steve Cropper is one of the Architects of 
Rock/Soul Music....

Happy  end of Summer Y'all
