Thanks as always, Kalamu, not just for the turning us on to the music but for sharing through your great and evocative prose!

Elvis was the rage and I dug him-but on my first Elvis long play I fell in love with a song I never heard on the radio "So Glad Your Mine". Take a listen, you'll see that this English boy was hard-wired to appreciate the blues. Fast forward to the sixties, football player Willie Fleming had a short lived one hour spot on the local rock radio station-first song he played was "I Pity the Fool" by Bobby Blue Bland-I was hooked, and as good fortune would have it the Bobby Bland Revue arrived in Vancouver soon after-I became a fan for life, was even lucky enough to join Mr. Bland between shows in Toronto for an informal chat. I consider my life was changed forever by the music of Bobby Bland. When I was 11 my parents relocated from England to Canada.
