Boston and Bo.(LONG)

[sean stephens <thepriapist@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to the guys for the Butterfield info,much appreciated.
Back in 2001 I was staying in a district of Boston called Brighton,this was when the noreaster (the severe snowstorms) struck.Bo Diddly was billed to play in a small venue there so I figured I just had to catch him.I had also stopped by the House of Blues prior to this and purchased one of their harps(as I recall the harp flatted out soon after), and filled with Dutch courage and delusions of grandeur set out  to the venue with the intention of asking the great man if I could jam with him if the opportunity arose.At the time my chops level made Charlie Bronsons HARMONICA MAN sound like Paul De lay however I thought I could could maybe wing my way through Pretty thing or such.Any how, on arrival at the venue I was informed by the doorman that had I bothered to read the gig flyer more studiously I would have realised that the gig had been played one month previously and the chances of me seeing Bo ,never mind actually jammin' with him were Diddly squat (zippo) as he was probab!
ly in
 Texas by now.
Alas,but I was wondering did any of you harpslingers catch him at that gig or elsewhere,did  he have a harp sideman,were you that man???
Incidently,Cotton was scheduled to play the House of Blues the next week but by then I had to head back home to Ireland.
Crackin' up.Sean,thanks.
