For the last 2 nights BBC4 has been showing blues all night, pretty cool, even the wife got a bit interested .... everyone from Albert to Steve, pretty much anyone that played on any program on the Beeb over the last 30 years or so. only down side is that for what I saw there were only 2 harp players so far, one playing with Bo Diddley (didn't catch who he was) and a guy with ZZ Top(only realised he was there when camera panned back)otherwise nada! cool tv all the same.

Very interesting program, did you catch the bit about the first import record shop in Soho in the late '50s
Tom McGuiness heard someone had got a Muddy Waters album, found out his address, and knocked on his door and asked him if he could have a look at it!!
Well I remember those times I have to tell you, was in my first r & b band in 1966 at school. John Mayall was our hero and Clapton was our god (till Jimi came along)

That program has been great, being a youngster(17) I've missed all this history about the blues not only in
the UK but its very roots in the US. Sometimes I feel like I were born at the wrong time xD

That was James Harman with ZZ Top. Couldn't hear a note he played and all the vocal was lost in the mix. Whoever the engineer was he wants shooting. That could have been a great clip.
