I’ve never gotten over the bank did Jimmy took 4 years to do it tribute to Stevie and then when he did one it was about a bunch of other blues musicians as well
Voice to text bites me again
Back when late night TV was still worth watching. Love that minimalist blues rock. The only two brothers who had major manufacturer personal models. Jimmy and Stevie Ray.
Wow! I’ve heard the song more than a few times, but I never knew what they looked like. :) Times have certainly changed. I wonder how they’re doing now?
The T-Birds are still playing, but Jimmy hasn’t been with them for a while; they’ve had a rotating roster of blues guitarists taking that slot. Kim Wilson is still fronting them, but he is completely bald now :)
Antenna TV runs the old Johnny Carson Tonight Show episodes. Now THAT was entertainment! As opposed to the MSNBC drivel that fills that timeslot now.
I was always more of a Blue Angels type...but maybe that’s just me.
Not surprising, I guess. :)
THIRTY TWO YEARS AGO (!) Gulp...
Feel pretty lucky to have been around when music was real.
