Not really blues .. But this is a nice song to play pool to IMO, especially if you like the Bari

It would be remiss of me not to mention this man in a Blues and pool thread.
Robert 'Junior' Lockwood.....often misnamed as 'Lockwood Jr' :angry:
Mr Lockwood became known as Robert Junior because he was considered
the heir of Robert Johnson.
Robert had a 9 ft Gold Crown in his home in Cleveland and knew and
thought the world of Bugs Rucker.
His wife was a wonderful lady, but we drove her nuts talkin' pool.

I saw Robert Junior Lockwood perform at the King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena, Arkansas back around mid 90-ish. I stayed up way late into the cold night sitting on the ground, wrapped up in a blanket with my wife to see this act of historic value!
Ahh, the memories!!!
I'd hate to hear how many times you heard Stevie Ray live.
I saw him in 86 at Fair Park Texas Hall?

in regular conversation someone told me he liked the blues, and he finished up with saying, "i have the blues." i asked, "every day?"
he didn't get the joke- very disappointing.
It opened him up for so many easy responses, too.

Robert Johnson
Son House
Blind Lemon Jefferson
Leadbelly
Bukka White
Bessie Smith
Elmore James
Sleepy John Estes
Mississippi John Hurt
Robert Jr. Lockwood
Muddy Waters
Howlin' Wolf
Willie Dixon
Magic Slim
Memphis Slim
Lightnin' Hopkins
Earl Hooker
Blind Sonny Terry
Pinetop Perkins
Brownie McGhee
Jimmy Rogers
Hound Dog Taylor
Big Mama Thornton
Sonny Boy Williamson II
Guitar Slim
Keb Mo
John Hammond
Lazy Lester
Anybody with the last name King
Anybody named Buddy Guy
Aaron

OK, can't tell you how many times I've seen BB. Muddy is high on my list as well.
Now if y'all can find em look for Climax Blues Band, FM Live album, song Seventh
Son.
Gotta mention Ricky Derringer who played with Edgar Winter as well.
Always liked Eric Burdon, especially his work as The Eric Burdon Band, Sun Secrets album.
Know he was mentioned, but Rory Gallagher is another of my favorites as well.

Boogie Long, perhaps the best young blues guitarist in the country is a regular at Mike Black's pool room in Baton Rouge. boogie has been known to wager on occasion, lol !
Boogie is one of the best blues guitarists in the world period, I just had out here in California and I'm trying to get him to move here!! He'd be so much happier and more respected. This kid opened for BB King and is unreal! Such a great heart and plays half way decent also in pool.
