Notes from AUG 23rd More video for PP&M

Thanks for the calls and emails.
We are having a blast doing this show and
appreciate your support. Someone asked about the Willie Dixon quote I mangled:

“The blues are the roots and the other musics are the fruits. It’s better keeping the roots alive, because it means better fruits from now on. The blues are the roots of all American music. As long as American music survives, so will the blues.”

Willie Dixon (bass, vocals; born July 1, 1915, died January 29, 1992)
Willie Dixon has been called “the poet laureate of the blues” and “the father of modern Chicago blues.” He was indisputably the pre-eminent blues songwriter of his era, credited with writing more than 500 songs by the end of his life.

And "Love Has No Pride" covered so beautifully by Bonnie Raitt and Linda Ronstadt
was written by Eric Kaz and Libby Titus
