I saw Cotton Friday Night

2007-10-08 18:37:00

I met a JT30.com reader Johannes (pic at left) at the James Cotton show here in Piermont, NY. Cotton is still in good harp form, although the show is a little short compared to the old Super Harp days of the early 70s. The band was mostly Kenny Neal's band with Kenny Neal's brother on bass. As usual, cotton has the best blues band around.

Johannes brought a Marine Band and had James sign it. I wish that I had thought of that!

 

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
