I saw John Mayall in concert a while back. Always a joy to see a legend perform.
And what a legend. Your textbook itinerant bluesman: working hard, grinding it out, spreading the word. Giving it up, getting very little back.
Always a footnote on someone else's career ... Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Coco Montoya, Walter Trout, Buddy Wittington, and now Rocky Athas. An impressive list of sidemen, but I understate.
Anyway, it was a fun show. Great tunes, tight band, lots of energy. Not bad for a 78 year old man.
Good work, John. You've been down so many roads. Glad to see you've still got room to move.
