Influences
All the cats who groove - "Big" Jon Patton, Trudy Pitts, Eddie Fisher, Mongo Santamaria, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Larry Young, Harold Vick, Pat Martino - just too dang many! Otis, James Brown, Dr. John, Solomon Burke, Sam Cooke, Ray, Aretha, Curtis Mayfield, anything that ever came through the doors of Mowtown, Booker T, Georgia Tom "befo ya zipped it up!", Bessie Smith, the Midnighters, Bullmoose Jackson, Jerry Lee, etc, etc. Gotta hear it to believe it - new boogaloo never sounded so sweet!!! Keepin the art of Dirty Blues alive!!!
nothing good enough can be said for naming some folks you don't know, but wish you did. may those of you we don't know personally take it as a sighn of respect, and those of you we didn't mention say something if you think we should.
Lieutenant Dimitry Koleshnakov once said - I breathed what? Why do men send themselves off to death for nothing?! Only love, and the sex of a woman, deserve that kind of determination. The DB exists for just that reason - to massage your ego. From the front or back - it doesn't matter. Just get ready to bend over and be violated - willingly. All the cats in the band were born under the firey mountain and sing elvish songs at dusk, starred in Skeletor the Movie, and hang with the Sworn Lord of Swords - where Bjorn had forged the gourd of yore with oars of for sure.
The lineage - the Bible. Definitely. It's a hard book to follow, but there are a lot of "hard" men in this outfit. With jellybean buttons and gumdrop moonbeams to show it, too. How's a boy to come up with something original in this shafty shiffe of schitte? Time to get back in the whiskey bottle and wonder why twelve tones played sound words never said. damned white horse...

that sounds like a hoot. i would need to be able to make enough dough to cover expenses and for time off. also that would mean i wouldn't have my gear with me, so we'd have to figure something out in terms of my performing.
Yo, ma man, thanks for the note(w flat, or flat w, if u know what i mean) I'm flying to Goergia, my damn Georgia this Sunday, 'cause it's been a while and plus I get chance to see some real doctors, who care what they do and hopefully can figure out what to do. This mofoes here don't give a shit because they are spoiled primadonnas and they won't even listen to you to figure out what bothers you. Just give me your money and insurance card and get da fuck out a here Have a fun bbq and see ya in mid September. Kiss your ladies for me
Sorry we missed you guys while you were down it Philly! It sucks having to work during the week. I hope in the near future you'll have a gig on the weekend we could get to!
