 I was fortunate to have the opportunity to sit a spell and chit-chat 
with Jr. Sunday nite backstage at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. He 
is very approachable and friendly. Loves to talk to harmonica players and 
was happy to autograph harmonicas for fellow harp-lers Chris Walker and 
Bruce Macdonald. He hasn't seen the list but was interested when I told 
him I heard about his show in line. Junior says Hi to all of you.
	His nephew and I "pestered" each other for a little while. 
T.Michael Blakemore is his name.(that is Junior's last name as well 
according to Michael) He is Jr's road manager and plays real nice. 
He says Jr never goes to the soundcheck so Mike gets to warm up the 
backup band-2guitars, keyboard, bass, Willy Hays on drums, trombone and 
tenor sax. They are actively looking for a touring trumpet player to 
complete "The Honey Horns" section. If interested call Mike at 312-664-7034
later.
