The Hoy Hoy Boy (Piano Red Enthusiast)

An Over Zealous Piano Red Fan!!!!

About Me

Calvin is my name, I'm both a Piano Red fanatic and a pre-war blues enthusiast. Any real blues recorded from 1919-1965 is bound to make me jump for joy. However, I have some modern favorites such as Guy Davis, Keith B. Brown, Sean Carney, Sean Costello, Eric Bibb, Barrelhouse Chuck, And Others. Aside from music, history and non-fiction reading are my other main interests. Life is good, I can't complain, in fact I'm very thankful for all I have. Anyhow, in the words of Piano Red: "Anything you gonna do, if you don't put God in the front, you ain't gonna do nothin' to start with.".. .. .... .. ..
