3 Piece |
Another off the cuff, spur of the moment jam that was thrown together
at a small pub in Beaufort while I was down at the beach during a break from
London.
I was on vocals and guitar, Todd Humphries was on bass and I didn't know the drummer
but his
name was Scott ... that's all I know. |

The Attic
(Greenville NC) |
3 Piece
|
Recorded at The Attic in Greenville during a hasty last minuite
thrown together gig in 1994 before we left the states
to play in London. This is an excerpt from an off the cuff medley. Video was
taken on an old camcorder from behind the P.A. (and from one
side of the stage as well) so the audio you hear is the raw
stage mix on my side of the stage and does not contain any of
the embellishments (not to mention the vocals) that are
heard by the audience. The musicians are myself on guitar and vocals, Jim Miller on bass,
and Greg Noble on the drums. |

Freedom Festival |
Boogie |
Recorded at the "Freedom Festival" at the Craven County
Fairgrounds in New Bern, NC. We were headlining a 17 band festival and
it is still uncertain to me to this day how it all came about ... I had
not even touched a guitar in over a year since moving back from London ...but, it ended up being great
fun and everyone had a great time ... The musicians were ... Greg Noble
on Drums, Joel Cresimore on Bass, Mark Pittman on Guitar, myself
on slide guitar and vocals, and Billy Todd on Harp |

Rosa's Blues Lounge (Chicago) |
Boogie |
Recorded at TM's All Star Jam Night (1984) in the bad section of Chicago with
the best blues. A good, spontaneous jam with good players. Don't know the
names because I never saw 'em before or since but the harp player is a monster. I'm handling the vocals
and the slide guitar. Originally recorded on a SONY walkman but re-equed
to give the proper flavor to an authentic Chicago blues jam night. |

Somewhere off of the NC Coast |
Electric, Walking Blues |
Recorded at the Z103 Station Party ... somewhere off of the NC Coast
... We were asked to play for "Banana Boat / Z103 party on the top deck
of "The Continental Shelf", Since bluesman Big Boy Henry was
in the area, I asked him to join us at the party. I called up Big Boy
for the last set and we put together a one hour "off the cuff" blues jam
for the crowd. The words and music was made up on the spot ... great fun!
The musicians are Big Boy Henry on vocals, myself on slide guitar and shouting,
Jim Miller on lead guitar, Brett Herndon on bass and Greg Noble on drums.
Raw, honest, blues with great feeling. |

Big Boy's House
Beaufort NC) |
Acoustic
Blues |
An impromptu acoustic blues jam that was recorded at Big Boy Henry's
house on the coast of North Carolina. Later released on the album
"Walking Back Down South". Billy Todd called me and asked if I wanted to
go over to Big Boy's house for a friendly jam. We went and had a great
time, with the able assistance of Jose Cuervo. Later, we were quite surprised
and honored to find that the tracks from our jam could be heard on Big
Boy's latest album. The words and music were made up on the spot. The musicians
are Big Boy Henry on vocals, Billy Todd on harmonica, Lightnin' Mike Wells
on acoustic guitar, and myself on slide acoustic guitar. |

Mayhem |
Well, this was one of those unscheduled, unplanned, general mayhem
jams at Lisa's Bar and Grill ... oceanfront at Atlantic Beach, NC. As much
of a jam as a jam gets ... much audience participation ... Lisa really
shines ... Lisa and the Lisettes steal the show. One of those impromptu
jams that you wish that you had known what madness would occur so that
you could have gotten the word out beforehand. |

Backstreet Pub |
Blues |
A jam that was thrown together at the last moment at the Backstreet
Pub in Beaufort, NC. Musicians from Beaufort, London, Raleigh, and other
parts unknown. I was taking a break from London and brought a fantastic
London piano player - Bert Eden. Of course we went to the coast and Todd
Humphries put together this jam so that my friend from London could participate
in an raw, off the cuff, southern beach blues jam. |
