Good Ole Daze

This is James Montgomery and Bruce Marshall in an old photo, circa 1996, (I think) about the time "The Oven Is On" cd (JM) came out.
I poached it off of the BM page. It reminds me of the good ole daze when I used to get outa the house every week. If it wasn't for going to see James down the street from my house over a decade ago, I wouldn't have met Bruce. I used to hang out with them every Monday night at the Casino By The Sea in Falmouth. Musicians know how tough it is to get a Monday gig and get people to show up for it!

James is quite famous in New England, USA, with the bikers especially, for making a living playing the harmonica. Recently he's done several Katrina fund-raisers. He's hung out with and learned from many blues legends, his fav unique talent is playing Detroit Shuffle tunes. He's written many tunes, like "Train/Ready Teddy."
Bruce is also a talented song-writer and friend, who has several cd's and can play a Dobro, Delta Blues, Country Rock, and Rock music of all kinds. He's played with BB King and many others. His claim to fame is being in the Marshall Tucker Band and Toy Caldwell Band. The past two years or so He's been playing gigs with his band, JM, Treated and Released, or solo all over New England. He doesn't get down close to the Cape anymore.

How unusual, me posting pix! N I didn't even take them. I must be out of better reasons to write, n a little down missin the music...

Another cloudy, uneventful, boring Friday in the land of off-season in a tourist town. Yesterday I counted almost two hours of sunshine before the clouds took over again. I tend to become depressed when I don't get a couple of minutes of photon energy, I'm one of those. Never mind a whole month, n the weather dude said maybe snow n def more rain for the week-end again. Ugh! Maybe I can get the chilly fingers to warm up long enough for a bit of playing.
Wow, I miss the live music!
