    But it just arrived in the mail, on Saturday!

    I ordered it in November, and it arrives a bit over 4 months later ...
    Unbelievable!

    jcrobso, I just read that, after working at Chess, Dave was the head engineer at Stax...sounds like he had a good life.

    Here's Big Willie, Big Joe, and Memphis Slim sharing a happy moment--

    Dave was selling recording consoles for Harrison, he said the recording engineer life was hard, mostly late nights and the wee hours of the mornings. As a sales rep he had a normal life.

    You can see that in this film about Tom Dowd--

    There's precious little on Elmore James.

    Why not try another James!

    No, not hjames.....

    Try Skip James. There's some great stuff of his on the Vanguard and the Shout Factory labels.

    or ETTA James - she's got some nice tracks out there as well, even some recent recordings!

    So what do you think of it? A pretty mixed bag but I sure like most of it.

    Very busy week - I haven't had time to give it a full listen - but I did like what I heard. And you're right, I did hear some that does sound like Stevie Ray or Hendrix - powerful playing!
    As always, thanks again for the musical heads up!
