That's the one - it's one of the shows that I occasionally re-watch in late Autumn. Cheers is another, for some reason.

One of the first LPs I bought was Blues from Laurel Canyon* and saw him live when he had the Turning Point line up. Amazing number of people that went on to fame and fortune were in the Blues breakers at one time or another.

* It hasn't aged well. It's a bit self-indulgent doggerel-ish. :D

Of course. :thumbup:

However, I do wonder 'Can blue men sing the whites or are they hypocrites for singing bloo-woo-woos'.
