[canadianblues-L] Shrimp...tasty

 

Had an opportunity last night to catch Shrimp
daddy and the Sharpshooters wa-a-a-a-y out here in
the lonesome `shaw where culture and Walmart are
often intermingled.

Regardless...it was on a hot tip provided by rick
George that we take time out to catch this guy
and I`m glad we [my wife precious, old black dave
and jo ] went..
Shrimp , or mr. Shrimp as i like to call him was
in extra fine blowin` form..this guy tho`
relatively new to me has obviously practiced and
honed his harp-a-bility for quite some time..He
has a the unique style of being able to duplicate
the lonesome wail of a sonny Boy williamson and
then echo back with the raucous excitement of a
little walter instrumental...
Man,...it has been some time since I`ve heard
someone around here play like that and it sure
felt and sounded good.
Shrimp`s version of Help Me was a show stopper.
My good buddy, ol` Black hollered out for some
slim Harpo and we were treated to a fine
impromptu version of Scratch My back...thanks
for that shrimp..I loves slim Harpo..all in all
the guys did a fine job, playing a dinner hour
matinee 6/9 which of course means the evening
crowd hadn`t yet filled in the joint but they
responded like pros and played their hearts out to
the fans who were there..They deserve their own
evening engagement but that i guess is up to the
ownerof Chicagos and I am not about to get into
the politics of that other than to say he[ owner]
has some very ineffectual policies goin` on
there.
Anyhow..the vote was unanimous, Jo.,Precious, Ol
Black and sluggo give Shrimp/band a definite
mojo hands up...
thanks for a swell evenin`...
