Sail On Sailor (Wilson/Kennedy)
KGB were the supergroup of the supergroups, the creme de la creme, a mid
seventies collective featuring of the most impeccable musicians in the
UK and USA, they created a controversy, a mystique and a collectability
that has endured and grown for almost 30 years. Even today, rumours
persist that Grech's old mucker Stevie Winwood contributed anonymously
to the recordings although no one has ever confirmed this.(Rockasteria)
"Baby Should I Stay Or Go" (Bloomfield/Goldberg)
Both Bloomfield and Grech left KGB after the album's release, and the
group recorded another LP, "Motion", with replacement musicians before
disbanding. Bloomfield carried on through the 70s with a series of
under-achieving blues albums and film soundtracks while his health
declined, allegedly due to drug abuse. In November 1980.
Bloomfield joined Bob Dylan onstage in San Francisco for a popular
rendition of "Like A Rolling Stone", a song they had recorded together
for "Highway 61 Revisited". Three months later, on February 15. 1981,
Bloomfield, still in San Francisco, was found dead from a drug overdose.
He was buried in LA- ironically, a city he disliked - and Goldberg gave
the eulogy at the request of Bloomfield's family. Goldberg later
declared: "I say a memorial prayer when the anniversary of his passing
comes up. Not a day goes by when I don't think about him. He's still
very much alive inside of me."

Mooie uitvoering van dit nieuwe Britse Bleustalent
Stevie Ray Vaughan (Dallas (Texas), 3 oktober 1954 – Chicago (Illinois), 27 augustus 1990)
Van Eelco Gelling tot Jan Akkerman,van Jimmy Page tot Eric Clapton,van Carlos Santana tot Jeff Beck ,van Pete Towsent tot Joe Bonamassa en vele,vele andere topgitaristen ik heb ze allemaal ,,live,, in aktie gezien en vond het allemaal even mooi.
Ik heb er echter een gemist ,en mischien wel de allerbeste in zijn genre,
Stevie Ray Vaughan.Ik weet eigenlijk niet of hij ooit in Nederland heeft opgetreden.
Gelukkig is er prachtig DVD materiaal van deze gigant in omloop en zijn registratie van zijn optreden in Montreux die ik sinds kort in mijn bezit heb behoort nu al tot een van mijn favoriete concert DVD,s .Hieronder een fragment met als gast Johnny Copeland.

Govt,Mule & Hook Herrera -Working Class Hero (Lennon)
"Working Class Hero" is een nummer van John Lennon. Hij gebruikte het nummer voor zijn album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band uit 1970.
Bij het uitbrengen van het nummer had de platenmaatschappij twijfels rond de tekst:
Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv.
Think you're so clever and classless and free.
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see.
Uiteindelijk koos men om het woord "fucking" op de hoes te vervangen door een asterisk. Lennon stond erop dat expliciet vermeld werd dat dit op aandringen van de platenmaatschappij was.
As soon as your born they make you feel small, By giving you no time instead of it all, Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all, A working class hero is something to be, A working class hero is something to be. They hurt you at home and they hit you at school, They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool, Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules, A working class hero is something to be, A working class hero is something to be. When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years, Then they expect you to pick a career, When you can't really function you're so full of fear, A working class hero is something to be, A working class hero is something to be. Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV, And you think you're so clever and classless and free, But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see, A working class hero is something to be, A working class hero is something to be. There's room at the top they are telling you still, But first you must learn how to smile as you kill, If you want to be like the folks on the hill, A working class hero is something to be. A working class hero is something to be. If you want to be a hero well just follow me, If you want to be a hero well just follow me.
De komst van de DVD betekende tegelijk ook het einde van de ouderwetse video .De over een aantal jaren met veel geduld opgenomen live opnames van festivals als o.a Pink Pop,Glastonbury ,Live Aid,Woodstock,Torhout/Werchter,prachtige uitzendingen van bv Jools Holland en RockPalast gingen incl videospeler in een grote doos en verdwenen naar de zolder.Bij het opruimen hiervan kwam de doos weer eens tevoorschijn ,de player toch maar weer eens aangesloten.De meeste video,s blijken toch nog van een behoorlijke kwaliteit te zijn,hoewel er ook enkele het niet meer zo goed deden.Ik ben nu in het bezit van een handig apparaatje om de video,s om te zetten naar DVD .Het kost wel wat tijd maar ik ga de beste delen toch maar overzetten naar DVD. En natuurlijk zullen er ook op mijn blog delen te zien zijn.
Statesboro Blues
Het Woodstock 1994 werd voor een groot gedeelte uitgezonden op RTL4 en ik heb er behoorlijk wat van opgenomen.Het optreden van de AllmanBrothers was voor mij toch wel een van de hoogtepunten. Mooi is de interactie tussen Dicky Betts en Warren Haynes.
Warren en bassist Allan Woody zou we later weer tegenkomen in Govt Mule wat tegenwoordig weer een van mijn favoriete bands is. Allan is helaas op 26 Augustus 2000 overleden.

Number 125 Hyndford Street, in
east Belfast, doesn’t look like the cradle of a lifetime’s dreams,
memories and associations. It’s a tiny, blank-faced two-up-two-down
terrace house, no different from any of the other red-brick homes
alongside it. That’s apart from the discreet plaque beside the front
door, which announces that Van Morrison was born here on August 31st,
1945.
His father,
George, was an electrician at the nearby Harland and Wolff shipyard;
more significantly, George was also a keen collector of jazz and blues
records, which he bought from a man called Solly Lipsitz, who owned
Atlantic Records on High Street.
Over his
songwriting career Morrison has returned again and again, in spirit, to
his childhood home and its nearby streets, rivers and parks, and these
places have never lost their hold on his imagination.

"On Hyndford Street"
Take me back, take me way, way, way back
On Hyndford Street
Where you could feel the silence at half past eleven
On long summer nights
As the wireless played Radio Luxembourg
And the voices whispered across Beechie River
In the quietness as we sank into restful slumber in the silence
And carried on dreaming, in God
And walks up Cherry Valley from North Road Bridge, railway line
On sunny summer afternoons
Picking apples from the side of the tracks
That spilled over from the gardens of the houses on Cyprus Avenue
Watching the moth catcher working the floodlights in the evenings
And meeting down by the pylons
Playing round Mrs. Kelly's lamp
Going out to Holywood on the bus
And walking from the end of the lines to the seaside
Stopping at Fusco's for ice cream
In the days before rock 'n' roll
Hyndford Street, Abetta Parade
Orangefield, St. Donard's Church
Sunday six-bells, and in between the silence there was conversation
And laughter, and music and singing, and shivers up the back of the neck
And tuning in to Luxembourg late at night
And jazz and blues records during the day
Also Debussy on the third programme
Early mornings when contemplation was best
Going up the Castlereagh hills
And the cregagh glens in summer and coming back
To Hyndford Street, feeling wondrous and lit up inside
With a sense of everlasting life
And reading Mr. Jelly Roll and Big Bill Broonzy
And "Really The Blues" by "Mezz" Mezzrow
And "Dharma Bums" by Jack Kerouac
Over and over again
And voices echoing late at night over Beechie River
And it's always being now, and it's always being now
It's always now
Can you feel the silence?
On Hyndford Street where you could feel the silence
At half past eleven on long summer nights
As the wireless played Radio Luxembourg
And the voices whispered across Beechie River
And in the quietness we sank into restful slumber in silence
And carried on dreaming in God.
Een ontmoeting met Jack Hustinx vorig jaar tijdens het Bonnie Raitt concert in de Rivierenhof in Antwerpen.Het gesprek kwam op de komende tour van Malford Milligan & The Souther Aces in 2019.Het t,Beest mocht daarin naar mijn idee niet ontbreken,Een berichtje naar programmeur Frank was voldoende,die was gelijk overtuigd.en korte tijd later kreeg ik het bericht van Jack dat ze geboekt waren op dit mooie podium.Het gevolg, dit geweldige optreden in een lekker volle zaal.!
"Getting over you" (dedicated to Stephen Bruton) film by Gert van Leent
Malford Milligan was born in Taylor, Texas, to Frank and Mary Milligan. In 1981, after a period as a sociology student at Texas Tech University, Milligan moved to Austin to begin studies at the University of Texas.
Instead, his Monday night blues jams became the beginning of a life in
music. His first local band, Stick People, launched his career as a
singer.
"Talk to You Daughter" film by Gert van Leent
In 2002 Milligan recorded and released the Sweet Cherry Soul
album, backed by a band from The Netherlands that was put together by
Milligan's friend and Dutch musician/producer Jack Hustinx.[1]
The album contains original material written by Milligan & Hustinx
as well as a blend of known and obscure Soul, Rhythm & Blues and
Gospel classics. Also two songs written by Milligan's close friend Stephen Bruton
were included. This band, The Malford Milligan Band, played three tours
in The Netherlands in 2002-2003, as well as a tour in and around
Milligan's hometown Austin, Texas, in 2003.
"I'm glad to do it" film by Gert van Leent
Also in 2017, Malford and Hustinx teamed up again. In May 2018, the two
announced a new album they had been collaborating on for the last year,
co-writing songs and exchanging ideas for a new Malford Milligan &
The Southern Aces album that Hustinx would be producing. Life Will Humble You was released late October 2018 on the Dutch label Royal Family Records [4] (founded by renowned Dutch singer/songwriter JW Roy). Coinciding tours in both The Netherlands and Texas are also scheduled.
