Been sitting here trying to put some words down for today's blog. Of course, yesterday Jack said some WONDERFUL THINGS about the words we share with y'all here on THE COUCH and it seems to have slammed the door tight on my thought process. LOL writer's block...it's a bitch....
So, we offer you some hotness...
James Cotton, Paul Butterfield, Billy Boy Arnold & Elvin Bishop...
James "Jimmy" Cotton (born July 1, 1935 in Tunica, Mississippi), is an American blues harmonica player, singer, and songwriter who is the bandleader for the "James Cotton Blues Band".
Cotton became interested in music when he first heard Sonny Boy Williamson on the radio. He left home to find Sonny Boy in West Helena, Arkansas. When Cotton explained to Williamson that he was an orphan, Sonny Boy took him in and raised him.
Cotton would begin his career playing the blues harp in Howlin Wolf's band. After one gig, Sonny Boy quit the band to live with his estranged wife in Milwaukee. He left the band in Cotton's hands. Cotton was quoted as saying, "He just gave it to me. But I couldn't hold it together 'cause I was too young and crazy in those days an' everybody in the band was grown men, so much older than me." Williamson had a lot of faith in Cotton, and his faith would ultimately be proved sound.
Bishop grew up on an Iowa farm. His family moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, when he was ten. While in Tulsa, Elvin attended Will Rogers High School. He moved to Chicago in 1960 after he won a National Merit Scholarship to the University of Chicago, where he studied Physics. He met Paul Butterfield in the surrounding neighborhood of Hyde Park in 1963 and joined his band.
This is called "THREE HARP BLUES"....one word FREAKIN'HOT
Hell...why not one more...a ROBERT JOHNSON tune performed by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band..."Walking Blues"...
"WE LURVES YOU ALL!"

BlogTalk Radio Update:
Walid Shoebat is a former Palestinian terrorist. He launched attacks on Israel and trained terror cells in the United States. Now he speaks out against Islamic fundamentalism and terrorist activity and is very much pro-Israel! Shoebat will join Dr. Blogstein, Jane and special guest co-host Brad Thor, the author of the instant New York Times Bestseller The First Commandment.
We'll find out what caused Shoebat's incomprehensible 180 degree turn, his opinion of Islam, and whether or not he has any regrets of not pursuing the 72 virgins promised to martyrs.
Then, as long as we have Thor on the show, we'll try to get some inside scoop into the production of the first feature film being made from one of his books.
Also, we'll get an update from embattled "Bestest" blogger Bobby Griffin who faced allegations of fraud on our April 4th edition of the Radio Happy Hour.
All that, plus Justin the Weatherman and your phone calls at 646-652-4804.
Tonight 9:00PM EDT

Excellent tuneage and a bit of education to go with it.
Well done yet again Sir.
Not a Tuneage Tutelage BUT can't just post the music without some information....

You're so fun - always providing knowledge along with the tunes. But not a full-fledged Tuneage Tutelage, huh? You have might high standards for yourself, darlin'. Of course, that's why you're BIG TIME now, huh?
