Good afternoon/evening.



I raise my mug to wish you good health and happiness, and as a toast to absent friends.

Evening!


Just discovered John Mayall's middle name was Brumwell, first time I've come across that.




Enjoying the sound of this line-up.

Yes - a lovely sound from 1997

I saw them on this tour with Buddy Whittington on guitar, John Paulus on bass, Tommy Eyre on the organ and Joe Yela on tubs

Last time I saw them was when they played support to B.B. King, circa '99.



Both Mayall and King were excellent.



Sadly, when I saw King two years later he'd gone a bit down hill and I made the decision not to see him again - preserve my memories of one of the finest blues performers I've seen.

Buddy Whittington is excellent on guitar.

Snap Skipper! :P

Played with Mayall fifteen years and was the last Bluesbreaker axeman.

Respect.

Hoping she's OK, and it's circumstances that prevent her from being here.







- Reminds me, I'm not sure if I'll make it this Friday. Grandson's birthday and we're going to have a meal at his other grand parents. Know idea what time we'll get away, hoping it won't be too late.

I agree with the reviews.

The songs might be nostalgic piffle at times, but the music fits like a treasured pair of sneakers.
