This album has taken far too long to finish but was recorded in a very short time. One day in Swine studios delivered 6 tracks. Two evenings with John Richards at Galway Bay FMs studio produced 4 tracks, recorded direct to stereo and a Monday night gig with fellow harmonica player Jem Turpin, at The Smugglers in Hastings, gave me "That and This". The musicians involved in the recording sessions were:
At Swine Studios, Bexhill: Liam Genockey drums, Colin Gibson bass,Phil Hudson - electric guitar, Junior- guitar, vocals and harmonica.
At Galway Bay FM: Padraig Stevens-drums, Stevo Tarrant-slide guitar, Gert Nungessa-electric guitar, Dougie Duddley-harmonica, Junior- guitar, vocals and harmonica
Influences
Like everyone else in this genre ridden world I've been compared to many. Muddy,Clapton,Bukka White and more. I prefer to think that I write and play "Now Blues Now".
Dolores as a child she walked on water
I am a blues singer/songwriter, an exciting old fart. I play solo, in a duo and with a band.
I'm interested in how energy flows between people, in where inspiration comes from. I never got off on playing covers no matter how much I got paid. Same goes with working, I need to be creative. I'm into technology and love making magical things happen with sound and images. I will never retire.
I hope you like the songs and videos. Remember we are lazy if we don't motivate someone.
The 2jays play trains
As I shared with Jem...Happy WhoeeeeeEaster. Or somethin' like that. And we are gonna go on a tin sandwich hunt and let the eggs lay and play! We will be. Be well and stay lovely.
No wonder I was dusting off my old disco ball! The light was not stunning enough and realized I hadn't cleaned it all up as of late. Hope Jem got out safe.
KeeesssEZZZ and love to you both. I am SOOOOO OHHHH enjoying your music as so many others are.
Hi you exciting old fart! I miss ya and am SOOOOOO SOOOOOO enjoying your music!
I am off to spend the eve and night with the ole Lester Chambers. SheeIT it's about a 5-6 hour drive and I just gotta make it there. I think I'll read your blog again as a reminder!
Kisses, Love and Tin Sandwiches!
P.S. Lester reminded me this is not one of our "jam sessions" so I best leave it at horner..I mean home!
First of all now I have a crush on Dolores small and beautiful!
Second of all Jem said he showered and shaved two days ago. So what are you complaining about?
I am going dancing with some old pals. Yep'ahhhh indeed eee dooo dah. I am gonna do a jig for you and Jem and Dolores. I'm sure she will have good friends there.
