[Harp-L] RE:SugarBlue & Harp Heaven

["Mad Dog Friedman" <maddog@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have to concur.  I flew to St. Louis and caught Sugar Blue at BB's.  It
was a truly religious experience.  His band was hotter than even the old
Butterfield Blues Band I heard back in 60's and Sugar is now coming from a
different whole world of harmonica with his always amazing chops. I can't
believe Popper & especially Ricci don't owe him some credit for inspiration.
His new CD I think helped him make it through some tough times. (He told me
"Code Blue" is "something special" and I feel it truly is). The "Harp Hero"
was also totally down to earth and real hanging out with us.  He even jammed
a little acoustic harp duet with me after the show.  I thought I had died
and gone to harmonica heaven.

But the week is still young yet, Jason Ricci is coming to town (Colorado)
and I should get hear him & the New Blood at least twice this week.  Also my
new band (Papa Juke) is going to be on www.bluestv.org (the live Tuesday
Blues TV Show in Boulder County) & will be playing the Outlook on Thursday
with Jason coming there on Saturday.  You can probably sense I am pumped up
for this week. Thank you Sugar Blue, a true harp hero!
