listen now. true blues is only about one thing. its the only topic on which all other blues stem from. blues is all about one boy and one girl and the problems therein. all people experience that. dont be racist. it aint worth it.

The Boy with the Violin was performed by Robin Batteau on a Buskin & Batteau album. Somewhere, I still have that old tape and another later tape. They are great singer/songwriters. Both made a good living writing commercial jingles ("Like a Rock"...& others for McDonald's, NBC, etc.)but performing their own material was their true love. I wonder if they still book dates?..

Late reply to kjcon54- If you REALLY want to see how Tom does this, and other tunes, he has a DVD titled "How I Play 'some of' My Favorite Tunes with tuning and tricks revealed. You can obtain it via his web addy.Saw him in Chicago recently at The Old Town School of Folk Music. After the regular show, he sat on the stage and played some requests there was no time for in the regular program.He is a marvelous entertainer!

You sound like a jackass. Why should we listen to your opinion on music? If you dont know that this is good music then you dont know shit.

wow white people just can't play the blues... that wasn't blues at all, black people play better blues, especially the black musicians who first wrote/performed the songs that have been covered by whites and blacks (mostly whites) so many times, because blacks have actually had to deal with the blues (poverty, oppression, racism), and later generations of blacks/whites only have a privileged form of blues/no REAL problems

I had a cassette tape that had this song on it, recorded at a live concert. It also had a song done by someone else that was one of the coolest songs I ever heard. The song was called The Boy With The Violin, if memory serves. Does anyone know this song and who did it? I would be eternally grateful

Lacks the sheer primitive force and sadness of the Bukka White original but has a nice melodic sound all of its own. If you like slide guitar you must listen to Bukka White, just brutal power and emotion.

First, sorry for the VERY delayed reply. Absolutely remember Gunnison Brook (!) -- spent many a great night rocking to you guys up there. Aside from some serious rocking, you also did a fine cover set medley from a certain Brit group's (arguably best) album, no? Ask me to remember two really fun bands who played PSC in that era, and it would be you guys (GB) for rocking/partying, and "The Shittons" for their very funny 50's group sendup. Any chance you remember the latter? best, Richard B.
