I've been there too - Buddy left his spot at the end of the bar and jumped up on stage for one entertaining number. Buddy's autobiography is a good read also, with lots of insights into the 50's and 60's Chicago blues scene and the greats like Wolf and Muddy.

I didn't think "Crock of Gold" was that bad: "Paddy Rolling Stone", "Rock n Roll Paddy", and "Paddy Public Enemy #1" (and a few others with "Paddy" in there somewheres). I think any friend or fan of Paddy, I mean Shane, would like it. "Across the Broad Atlantic: Live on Paddy's Day" (there it is again), is a decent, if slop

QuoteRollingFreak QuoteAngus MacBagpipe I think at the real heart of these criticisms is a contempt and dislike for Bruce's political and social views. He's backed off this tour with that stuff.

Specialty Records "Greatest Gospel Gems" is a good collection for those who want to test the waters (before the full baptism in the rivers of righteousness,y'all!) Lots of greats on that one: Blind Boys of Alabama, Sam Cooke, Swan Silvertones and others.

You agreed not to talk politics. Many here are glad. Give me Taylor vs. Wood any day over that. Exactly - BV's board, his rules. There are plenty of other places to argue politics.

I'll be at the Vancouver show too (GA tickets). All these positive reviews are really encouraging - thanks! I'm not a big McCartney fan, but having him show up would certainly be a bonus. McCartney's next gig will be in Edmonton, so my guess is he'll stay in Vancouver an extra day or so after his show.

I really liked everything Dwight did, up until 2003's "Population Me". That album and "Blame the Vain" which followed were hit or miss. A couple of great tracks, the rest not so great. This one hasn't grabbed me either. The bits I've heard are all just okay. Now 2007's "Dwight Sings Buck" - THAT to me was his best in years.

Maybe he is a nice guy. Interesting that Marianne Faithful had nothing nice to say about him in her book and she's the type who tells it like she sees it.

I listened to my older brother's records when they were around, then went through a Doors period in the early 80's when there was revival in interest after the book "No One Here Gets Out Alive" came out.
