Singing the blues at Princess Theatre
26/01/2024
Rules for the Blues:
1. You can’t play no blues in an office or shopping centre. Go outside to the parking lot, or sit next to a dumpster, or a man shaking a tin can full of change
2. You can’t sing the blues with a name like Malcolm, or Dennis. You need a name like One Eyed Bill, or Big Mama.
3. I don’t care how tragic your life is. You can’t sing the blues if you’ve got all your teeth, a computer or were blind and can now see.
Someone who can sing the blues is a man named Walter Trout, who blew the roof off the Princess Theatre last night in Woolloongabba. The videos will give you an idea of how amazing he was. What a great night!

We had the privilege of doing a show with the man that I consider the greatest guitar player I've ever seen and that's Mr Jeff
Beck and I was standing with his guitar tech right on the side of the stage watching Jeff play he didn't have a spare guitar and you see normally you break a string you hand a guitar to the guitar tech he changes the string and while he's doing that you play the spare guitar Jeff had one guitar I said to his guitar T what happens if he breaks a string the guitar tech said to me drum solo
