    How I miss those years in the Seventies when you could see Fess at the MapleLeaf the night after Booker and cross the street to Jeds and see Earl King and down to the 501 Club :) to see the Meters, Dr John and then the Nevs...they were truly the best years of my life musically. Bless them all ....their sounds will resonate through the generations as new folks discover them,
