I am sitting up in bed tapping and clicking my feet together. No way to sit still listening to this very jazzy bluesy music. Wow the guitarist.

Wish there was more musicians like him. He never considred himself a blues man. he always said he was a musician. Although most of his stuff falls into the blues vein, he had such a sweet swing sold coupled with jazz and country his live shows were always one of a kind

Nice reaction, Harri! Gatemouth is way under-appreciated for sure. If you really wanna get ants in your pants, though, you should check out Gate's version of the old Muddy Waters classic 'Got My Mojo Workin'. It's almost too funky to be legal!!

But, he did have some amazing experience. Ray Charles headlined one year, Johnny Winter also another year. Thank you for your kind words, Cynthia

Via Wikipedia ---"Honky Tonk" is an instrumental written by Billy Butler, Bill Doggett, Clifford Scott, and Shep Shepherd. Doggett recorded it as a two-part single in 1956. It became Doggett's signature piece and a standard recorded by many other performers."

I (a white woman) don't remember the exact year, but about 30 years ago he did a show in Atlanta. After the show, before they could get out of the city, his tour bus broke down. He and his band spent a few hours waiting for it to be repaired at the truck stop where I was the shoe shine stand contractor. I was ready for my dinner break when he asked for a boot shine. I asked if I could go get dinner first but he wasn't sure how long the repairs would take. So, I shined 2 pairs of his boots while we had a grand conversation about lots of things. He tipped well and afterwards we had dinner together in the restaurant, his treat. He talked about his family, showing off his daughter's pictures. He was so proud of her. He played several different instruments and every musical genre throughout his career. When I asked him what was his favorite style of music, his answer was "Whatever I'm playing at the moment". The man's hands were built for playing instruments. I've never seen such long fingers. A super talented, nice guy.
