what a great photo - they just ~*love*~ to play the blues! :E
have you got any more details about the party, Rock Man?

Not a lotta details ..... Mick Keith Charlie and Ronnie were at party
only Keith and Ronnie jammed with Daddy Mack Band.... Stones played Memphis
on 8th April ... so party musta been around that date



ROCKMAN

thanks my dear! the Daddy Mack myspace page - [www.myspace.com] - says:

"At a Foundation party in April of 1999, Rolling Stones Keith Richards and Ron Wood sat in with the band
and, as the story goes, they were able to keep up musically, but no one was shouting to hear 'Jumpin’ Jack Flash' either."

found a little more here: [www.rollingstone.com]:

"The Rolling Stones shocked a party in honor of the Stone's road crew and hosted by the Blues Foundation last week
at the infamous Rendezvous Restaurant in Memphis. After tour manager Lil Gary blew out the candles on her birthday cake --
which was baked in the shape of a guitar with "Time Is on Your Side" emblazoned in frosting --
all attendants of the soiree were treated to a surprise appearance by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood.
Richards and Wood even joined the Daddy Mack Blues Band onstage -- playing into the wee hours with the Memphis natives.
According to the Stones' inner circle, not only is it extremely rare that any of the "Big 4" shows up for such an event,
but to have them sit in with the band, never ever happens ..."

aha! according to [www.memphisflyer.com] the party was on the night of april 7th/8th:

"Fans of the Rolling Stones looking to get an early sneak peek at the band were on the lookout at B.B. King's on April 7th,
when word spread that the self-styled World's Greatest Rock-and-Roll Band, in town for a sold-out appearance
the next night at The Pyramid, would be dropping in following a birthday celebration for their road manager at the Rendezvous.
Alas, however, no Stones, though celebrity watchers were treated to the band's warm-up act,
teen guitar phenom Jonny Lang, jamming with the B.B King's house band. It seems the Stones never moved past the Rendezvous party,
where Keith Richards and Ron Wood both took the stage to jam with Daddy Mack Blues Band."

sorry, one more! from [www.mail-archive.com]:

"What would you do if you threw a party and the Rolling Stones showed up?

"That's exactly what happened last night in Memphis.

"The Blues Foundation put together a party for the Rolling Stones road crew to welcome the group to Memphis
and to give them something to do other than hang in their hotels rooms on their travel day.
Memphis' premier rib joint, the Rendezvous, served as host for the event, providing great food
for the 50+ people from the Stones organization, and the fabulous The Daddy Mack Blues Band of Memphis
played some real down-home Blues for the largely British crowd. The event had extremely tight security,
and only Stones staff and Blues Foundation staff (with a handful of guests) were in attendance.

"Lots of crew and tour management showed up early on, as well as keyboardist Chuck Leavell and bassist Darryl Jones,
to grab a bite and hear some Blues with their buddies. Things really got exciting when Mick Jagger showed up
with two of his daughters for dinner, followed shortly by Ron Wood and Keith Richards and their friends.
Jonny Lang also joined the party with a group of friends. It happened to be the birthday of tour manager Lil Gary,
and The Blues Foundation presented her with a cake in the shape of a guitar with 'Time Is On Your Side' in frosting.

"The highlight of the evening came when Keith Richards took over on guitar and Ron Wood took over on bass
for the Daddy Mack Blues Band. With regular Daddy Mack-ers Mack Orr on lead and vocals and 'Rollo' on drums,
the Stones musicians laid down some incredible raw Memphis Blues, to the amazement not only of the Blues Foundation staff,
but also the entire entourage. According to the Stones people, it is extremely rare that any of the 'Big 4'
ever show up for such an event, and to have them sit in with the band just 'never happens.'
Judging from the grins on the faces of Ron and Keith, they got a big kick out of laying back and jamming some Blues."

It's kind of community policy here not scanning the IORR magazine.
If you go to the front page, there's details on how to do it.
Good luck!

How to subscribe, that is!
I believe you've noticed by now, that people here don't want to rip Bjornulf off. We appreciate the work he does and the wonderful magazines he produces.
