Hi Everyone the 2nd instalment was great ...loved every minute regards to all al Thanks! We listened back last week before uploading and both of us couldn’t believe how much Michael covered as when we were chatting it was so much to drink in! Really interesting stories and there was just as much not covered. I think it’s time to write an MM book! 🎯

I have felt a bit unwell over the last few days so have binged a bit on YouTube. I came across this Podcast by the Washboard Resonators and really enjoyed getting to know Michael Messer's musical life. Although I have had quite a life in music I have to admit it as been mainly as a Rock Guitarist initially and latterly as a Flamenco guitar player, only of late playing lap steel guitar. I have crossed paths with the blues scene on a few occasions but my musical interests and passions have laid elsewhere. So it was great to find out about Michael Messer's contribution to the world of blues guitar and music. What a fine and knowledgeable ambassador. Excellent. On another note we do appear to have crossed paths if a little tenuously over our lives. I live in Scarborough and Ravenscar is place I like to visit. I found your journey to North Yorkshire and wood shedding time on the coast around the part of the world I live in interesting. Also you mention Steve Phillips and Brendan Crocker. Steve as I am sure you know lives in Robin Hoods Bay not far from Ravenscar. I was a house guitar player for a recording studio in Leeds When Steve Phillips, Brendan Crocker and the rest of the Leeds Blues Mafia from the Grove pub in Leeds was asked to make an Album in the early 1980s for charity. The album was called "Blues from the Aire Delta". As the studio guitar player I was asked along with the rest of the band to make a musical contribution. Not being an acoustic blues musician we did a quick take on Danny Kirwans Jigsaw puzzle Blues which I played on a borrowed strat. I seem to think about 1000 copies of the album was pressed and I believe most have been sold for the charity. Great times.
