In 1964 or 65 I worked at a Chevron station south of San Jose. Musselwhite was hitching out from Chicago. He asked if I had any work a guy could do.for a buck. We talked a bit and he pulled his harp and played.some riffs. That was my intro to the blues. I’m pushing 80 now, still love the blues. I saw Carly and Elvin Bishop last summer. He’s still doin’ it.

Great upload !!!! I remember this show. Big Walter was the man and I was lucky enough to see a lot of him in the clubs and get to know him. Charlie sure learned from him and has the chops. I am happy that he still carries the flame onward.

So true _ _ Charlie's still the man _ _ he plays everything ( with precision ) on his harmonica !

I recently heard Charlie saying modern blues is all speed and show off licks without soul. I tend to agree but this is some of the fastest blues I’ve ever heard. 😂❤

Mike Vernon said in an interview that during the recording of Fleetwood Mac's 'Blues Jam at Chess' Walter Horton was difficult to record as he'd sing into the vocal mic, then into the harp mic, then between the two, and they had to watch carefully as he was likely to ignore the standard twelve bar format and just play and sing as he felt it, and I notice the band are paying close attention here! There's some lovely interplay with Charlie and Walter here, though....

Big Walter died about six months after this.

I know I've read he struggled with alcohol. I think I read somewhere as part of his death certificate it actually included acute alcoholism. He does look kinda unwell here. Really sad. Alot of the blues artists from that era struggled with alcohol. No doubt a consequence of the dire conditions they grew up/lived in and the general poverty/discrimination they faced for most of their lives. 😢

Stick to your poop pipes. That is Charlie Musselwhite.from 00:35 on. Before that, there is no harp.You're confused by the slicked back helmet of hair. And the style is pure Charlie Musselwhite. Buy yourself some CDs and learn.

At 6:00 that harmonist goes jedi and starts riffing in a way that makes angels, who specialize in song, filthy with envy🖕👼
