Hey guys!!  Jeez, ain't these classic blues names...?! There'll be a massive trip report on my website real soon! I had the blues trip I've always wanted to do, and wow what a nice response from audience and fellow blues players... Just awesome!!! Btw, my camera was busted bad after falling out of the car on Highway 49.. A cool way to break a brand new camera... This pic's taken with my cellphone, LOTS of NICE pics from my friends later on..!!! BJ |

Bottleneck John,
just a few short lines (fred Macdowell?) I have checked out your posts on this forum and the numerous video clips with yesterday it making me late for work !, great guitar playing and I think even better singing I am a big Kim Wilson fan and some of your songs remind me of him so high praise indeed.
keep up the good work as the Swedish Ambassadoor for the Blues, (Eric Bibb is like Greg Rudseski the Canadian tennis player who cannot really qualify for the postion officially !)
Regards Lee.

Lee, thanks a lot!! I'm glad to hear that you dig my stuff!! And yep, I'm trying to bring my northern style of southern blues to as many people and countries as I possibly can... And I LOVE it!!!! Sorry for making you late for work, haha..!!  Roj, thanks!! Good to know that you're digging the Amistar guitar.. Today they're second to no other reso-maker, imho... The only thing I'd re-do on these instruments is the solid headstock, I love slot-heads!! I have a singlecone too but travelling to the US made me choose my tricone, it's more versatile!!! Usually I bring 3 guitars with me on stage... Guys, today I've uploaded a 5 sequence clip of my whole solo-concert at the Arkansas Blues & Heritage Festival(formerly: King Biscuit Fest) It was a nice, warm day and I got to play at a really nice stage there.. Check them out... Thanks for listening, BJ  |

Michael.
