I been reading a ton lately.... my current book which I will finish tonight unless I do what I should and go to bed is Buddy Guy's autobiography When I Left Home..
I'm really enjoying it...Buddy's stories about Mud, Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Junior Wells, Little Walter, Chess, the Stones etc... are just wonderful.....its a real easy read.. I think the book could have been a lot longer...also could have used a proofread before publishing but I'm loving it... also , now I understand Buddy Guy's live show a bit more.... I never realized he had sort of pioneered that bit about playing his guitar while walking around the club way back in the 1950s....yes he did get it from Lightnin' Slim but still...
making me hungry to see him when he rolls by the State Theatre again..even thoughthe show will be the same as always....a bit too much talking, too many stories etc... but boy I love his sound when he jams
while reading it i been listening to a cd of some sides he cut in the 60s for Chess.... stuff that went ignored at the time but its pretty killer....
