Nice video, thanks for posting. BTW, there is still quite a bit of blues played here in Kansas City. Some of the clubs, like The Phoenix, are going strong. At least until coronavirus visited us all. Will Prout

Richly deserved!

Beautiful caps, both of them. Tad (and Fred) are amazing for sure, but you really do take their cues to next level. Will Prout
