Catfish
Hodge, about his friend John Lee Hooker: "I'd call him,
especially when he couldn't get out much.
He wouldn't want to talk about music, he knew the Giants though! How,
How, How!"

Otis
Taylor: Dark, growling blues on a banjo "that was made in africa,
came over on the slave ships, played for Thomas Jefferson". A quick
walk followed, down Cherry street to find the Katawar Bro's warming
up with boogie woogie piano skills at the Frank Frost stage. Back
to the main stage to enjoy Deacon John (out of N.O.), as he shared
"This I have to tell you, and I have no doubt, nobody loves you
when you're down & out".
