...Chuck and Paul & Orlando & Josh went on to do a
nice, easy shuffle called "Drink On". Josh delivered an over the top
solo. Chuck paid tribute to Roy Jones with "Welcome Home Any Lonesome
Day". Again 8 beat boogie with "Lonesome Child". You can't do a BLUES
program without something from Muddy Waters. Josh picks it up with "Two Of
'em Said Let Him Go". James came on to sit down at the piano and sing
"Kick 'em All Out" in kind of a rag. He followed with "one More
Mile" The tune brought joy to me ear and a tear to my heart. Now it James
& Chuck side by side on the piano bench doing "That's
Why I Keep On Drinking". Josh using a slide with Paul & Orlando
delivering great rhythm. They took it out with a boogie. Boogie-Woogie demands
really good left-hand. BLUES become dynamic with right-hand play. Two
left-hands and two of the best rights in the world are delivering an
unforgettable moment in music.
The 2nd set was fun song after fun song.
"Call My Job", "Stockyard BLUES", "Who Drank My Beer
While I Was In the Rear". Chuck got very serious with "After
Hours". Again the right hand was a marvel. Josh got back to the fun with
Jimmy Rodgers last meal tune "Fry Me Two Dinosaur Eggs --- I'll wait right
here 'til you get back with it. James returns to do "You Take All My Money & Treat Me Like A Monkey Man". The closing lyric says "I
ain't no Casanova but I ain't no monkey man". "How Long" is a
real BLUES song and it was played for all it's worth. Chuck's original
composition "AnnaLee" is a tender song. They closed the show with
"School Days" and the entire audience on their feet, cheering.
