Geez, the more I listen, the more I hear Hot Tuna......"St. Louis Tickle"......I bet Jorma Kaukonen was paying attention in the late 60s.

1. Saw him in a small club in Atlanta in 1980s I think. Good show, loved his big ole Guild acoustic.

3. Stand corrected.....but I think he spent some quality time in Maine.

"He's playing "Buddy Bolden's Blues" and it is quite awesome, in the Jelly Roll Morten sense.

4. "He was a Friend of Mine" - good god, this was heartfelt.

A year after Kennedy's assassination?

7. Joan Baez

Joan Baez gave him a really good guitar one time in the early sixties. He was called the Mayor of McDougal Street.

8. ---and Pope of Greenwich Village.

Joyce and I saw him at an evening of stories and song.. That was a couple of months before he died.

It was mostly stories and I enjoyed those more than the singing.
