About Me

I ran into someone who is wrapped around that which is/was Howlin' Wolf...we of that pack sniff each other out -- and always with suspicion...fucking limp poseur crapdoodle wimps are wasted time, even as they say "oh yeah, that old, black dude...". Fuck them. And fuck you if you don't get it. You would be so lucky if, in your lifetime, someone, once, makes love to you with the passion that Wolf bled out in the performance of one song -- "Smokestack Lightnin'", "How Many More Years", "I Asked For Water, She Gave Me Gasoline", "Killing Floor". I ran into another Wolf howler and he asks me "how do you know all those songs?" __________________________________________________ FROM THE PAUL BUTTERFIELD MISSISSIPPI SOJOURN- 9/07 John Harrelson (www.johnharrelson.com) a real surprise and treat. John came all the way from CA and we had met on myspace, having communicated for so long it was really no big deal seeing him as it felt like seeing a real old friend……he was a surprise to all…a man filled with talent and a great voice!!! You must get his CD. We had the sense we had always known John. John can really wail on stage, check him out at http://www.myspace.com/john_harrelsonWe felt really bad as ones greatest fear in orchestrating any event is that you will forget to mention someone or include someone and John was one of those fears as he had gotten overlooked on Saturday’s jam but really shined on stage at the Depot Blues Club._____________________________________________________
