Upcoming Gigs and Booking Info
| As you can see by now, music has been
pretty good to me over the past few years. Just when you think it
couldn't possibly get any better....it does. On Labor Day weekend of ' 03 I had the pleasure of going to Hyannis to meet up with Herman "Rosco" Ernest III and Dr. John who were performing at the Cape Cod Melody Tent. From there I went to Harry's; the best Blues Bar on the Cape; maybe all of New England. I had been invited back to Harry's by the club's owner, Laddie, to meet and possibly play with Delta Bluesman, David "Honey Boy" Edwards. The following photos were taken on August 31 and September 1. Let it suffice to say for now that this was a once in a lifetime experience and a true honor to play with a man who I have dubbed the "Hope Diamond" of Blues Players. |

| I would like to thank Judy Laster of the
Woods Hole Film Festival for showing the documentary on Honey Boy and exposing
me to this great man. I also want to again thank Laddie for giving me
the chance to play with Honey Boy Edwards....an experience I'll never forget! And finally, I want to thank my niece, Amy Holford, for her persistence. If not for her, these photos would not exist. Thanks Babe! |
