Nat Myers check’s in . . . . . .

Somebody asked me the other day how our brother Nat (Myers) was doin’! So here’s a lil ditty from his back yard porch! 



Nat says:

"Mornin glory y’all. On a backporch this mornin ridin out the torrents of summer. It’s been a good one. Same highs you climb, same lows you go. I been bout everywhere and nowhere at the same time, reminiscing on the many kindnesses of stranger & friend alike. Some might call me curst but I count my stars, crossed or lucky as they are. This one’s called Young Mind Old Soul. You mighta heard me performing it out. I wrote it after Shake it and Break It & I Heard the Voice of a Pork Chop. I wrote some the lines before I got sick and after I got sick. It’s kinda obvious which. Im stoked to say I’m releasing a take of it in a couple weeks. I got scans in a few weeks so I’m just gon be holding it down til September. Be well.

Good to hear from ya Nat!
Boogie on lil brother!

Los Belton’s - Cumbia Pop (1970)

"I’ve a great fondness for Peruvian cumbia, especially when they don’t stay in their lane. Lots of distorted guitars and wildness. Los Belton’s were a group of brothers from Ayacucho.”

Susan Tedeschi on her Roots : Craig Shelburne Interview | Don’s Tunes

May be an image of guitar and macramé
Susan Tedeschi: I played acoustic growing up, starting at 14 or 15. My dad gave me one of his old Martins when I was about 15 for Christmas one year and I cried because I was so excited. I wrote a bunch of songs on that, and that’s when I first started songwriting. I didn’t play electric guitar until I was about 22 or 23. I had graduated college at 20, so I was out of college for a couple of years before I ever picked up a guitar, other than acoustic. I was playing acoustic at shows but it was more folky and songwriter-y kind of stuff.
Then I fell in love with blues. I had some friends who used to play at Johnny D’s in Somerville, Massachusetts, every Sunday for the blues jam. They needed singers so they asked me to come down, and then I realized, “Well, shoot, this would be a great place to try out playing the guitar.” There weren’t a lot of people there and it was pretty chill, so that’s what I did. I would go down and sing a few tunes, then I’d start playing rhythm. I never really soloed for the first couple of years on electric. I just wanted to learn to learn how to play rhythm and play along with stuff so I could try to accompany myself while singing.
I played along with a lot of Freddie King and Johnny Guitar Watson and Otis Rush and Magic Sam – and I fell in love with blues. I wore out Big Mama Thornton’s Hound Dog record and Koko Taylor and all sorts of stuff. I fell in love with it and I realized, “This is what I want to do. I want to be Freddie King and Johnny Guitar Watson!” It’s funny because I did a tour with Etta James and she asked me, “Who are your influences? Who do you want to be?” I said, “I want to be Johnny Guitar Watson.” And she said, “Ah! That’s who I want to be!”

Now I have said before I am less han convinced by Susan’s husband Mnsr Trucks but I do seriously prefer Susan’s playing, she seems just more authentic and Derek’s slide I am critical of. 

Hey ho! Nice to feature something that doesn’t hide her light under a bushel of other stuff for once
