Groups like Los Lobos in places like Stockton help to draw the people who do 
not care one way or the other for what purists and non-purists (me) consider 
blues. Los Lobos helps to sell CD's by Rod Piazza and other neo-pure blues 
acts lucky enough(just ask them!) to share the bill with The Wolves.
Butts in the seats are good for good (non-lip-synched) roots music.

Harp content-I saw LL headline the SF Blues Fest when I played a few acts 
down the bill from them. Charlie Musselwhite sat in.

No butts-No Shows!
