Rich W Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 nice to see the old tax and spend dollars going for something!! All the presidents do it. In 2001, for Black History month, George Bush Jr, held a concert with Lionel Hampton, Shirley Caesar, Bobby Jones, James Brown, Regina Belle, the Blind Boys of Alabama, and the Harlem Jazz Museum Artists. With the line up of Jeff Beck, BB King, Buddy Guy, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, et al., it's nice to see that musical taste in the White House for smoking hot guitar music has improved. None of the musicians took home a basketful of tax dollar money for this. Buddy Guy's agent didn't play hardball with the president about the chance to appear there. This is a great thing for the musicians working to keep blues music alive; and trying to associate it with confiscated guitar wood is really stretching it.

heymisterk Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I knew as soon as I saw this posted that someone would not be able to restrain himself from taking a political jab. And Rich is right: I absolutely remember Bush having it, and remember seeing Lionel Hampton play his vibes, just before he died, if I recall.

badbluesplayer Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Gibson's pretty well represented on stage for a blues revue. Seems like everybody's playing the blues on strats these days. Derek Trucks is the only player I could recognize every time with my eyes closed and my ears plugged. He just completely owns his playing style like nobody else.
