They are longtime family friends of mr blm. I think he was about 14 when I first saw him play. Great experience. And I’ve seen most of the greats. He’s right there with them.

Did I say great enough?

He really is great. Pretty awesome you know him. Let him know a 48 year old musician thinks he's the shit. He'll probably laugh....

He has spent his whole life around guys your age and older. Mostly musicians. Some working, most who just love playing.

My family was always pushing me to do something that would sell. Probably should have listened. But I was always so much happier playing what I wanted. I've cleared a lot of bars out doing b-sides all night long....But yeah, fuck em. If you don;t want to hear a killer rendition of ZZ Tops "Sure Got Cold After The Rain Fell"? I got nothin for ya man...

record. Col Tom Parker didn’t think the song was a hit. The A side was Rock Hula Baby. Parker’s decision.

My songwriter friend was George David Weiss.

The B-side was Can’t Help Falling in Love with You.

Heh.

The American public has about as much taste in music as they do in politicians...

I was a tour guide at Graceland many moons ago...lol
