oh, I missed 'em all, it (often) seems...but then again, back in 
Mississippi, I caught a number of blues acts that a lot of people 
never get (nor will ever, since a couple names are long gone) to 
see/hear...BB King, R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough (the previous two 
artists can be found on the Fat Possum lable...KILLER blues...R.L in 
particular has elevated electric blues guitar to a level that some 
love, some hate), Anson Funderburg/the Rockets w/Sam Meyer (white 
boys playing good blues with a black man wailin' like he means it, 
baby...), Son House, Son Thomas, and a handful of others that I can't 
think of name-wise...

give and take, hmm?

Anywho...it's all good.  Although when I'm rich and famous, I'm gonna 
track down Siouxsie Sioux (of the Banshees kind) and offer her a 
million bucks to play one more concert...just for me and my chilehead 
friends...

...probably on the island we all talk about off and on, over and 
over, dreaming, wishing...sigh...

=8^)

Peace, Hendrix, and Chiles.......
