Hello Bill

Now that's one I'd like to hear.
I may have to buy the CD/DVD to go with my other Marsalis CD, "Mr Jelly 
Lord".

I know that you know <grin> who Big Maceo was, but I wonder how many in 
the concert audience did?
Or indeed, 99% of those who will buy the new Marsalis and Clapton release.
I had the Big Maceo Victor 78 in my collection from the 40s.<

Yes, indeed - I'm playing "Kid man blues" now and wondering how Marsalis 
and Clapton handle it. Clapton would have his work cut-out to match 
Tampa Red!

Previously, Beth and Louis raised the matter of Chicago Blues. Could 
Marsalis and Clapton have a new take on this genre?

All the best,
Anton
