I played with The Eddie Ray Rhythm And Blues Band, and The Luther Tucker Band backing artists such as Lowell Fulson, Percy Mayfield, Big Mama Thornton, Sonny Roads, Jimmy McCracklin and Sugar Pie De Santos. I Toured and recorded with Michael Bloomfield, Eric Bibb and many others. I Sing, write my own music and know many blues and folk cover tunes. I Play saxophone and harmonica. I like to play many styles of American folk music, blues, country, soul, rock n roll and funk. I have five kids that I raised or I am still raising. I love this life !!! I started playing the harmonica when I was a kid my Uncle would teach me some simple licks that I teach my students today. Later I managed to get some tips from Paul Butterfield I think I'm the only one who can make that clam,he hated to give lessons. I guess he felt obligated to help me.
I started teaching when I came to Sweden Ive been giving classes in harmonica and blues history for twenty-five years. I believe we all have a choice of what to do when things are hard or bad. It's this that makes us who we are. Do we just save our self's? Or do we sincerely help others without expecting something back ? I know its so not so easy. Some people are so afraid of not getting that they think If I can't have it nobody can. I feel like Ive helped many along their way and sometimes only get resentment back. That could be our task to not become bitter and to continue our path. Loving to play meet people and giving what we have to give. I thank all you that have showed your appreciation and to all of you that wounder about my illness.
Things look very good for a full recovery. Thank you so very much !!!
Remember give love even if you don't get much back you will feel a lot better than being bitter and suspicious.
