Just found a great website --
www.wolfgangsvault.com/concerts/top-rated.html
While they sell mp3 downloads of several live concerts there on
the site, it also allows you to listen to them over the internet
for free. Right now I'm enjoying a remarkably clean live
performance by Muddy Waters from 1969.

He is the GREATEST. I've got on loan a CD with three concerts
-- one from 1960 and the other two years later. His hands, when
he plays the guitar, are such a beautiful thing to see. ART,
that's what his music is. It never gets old.

Saw him live twice, first around 1977 and then in early 1981.
Both times just in little clubs. Both performances near or at
the top of the list of all I have seen.

Obviously, you have never been to Tijuana to see "Conchita and
her Magic Mule".

In his later life, McKinley Morganfield (AKA Muddy Waters) moved
to the western suburbs of Chicago. At the time, I lived a
couple of houses down from him. In the winter, I regularly
snowblowed his walk as the neighborly thing to do when I was out
there doing mine. Cut his grass too when I was doing mine and
he was out-of-town. He usually cut his own grass as he 'liked
the exercise'. He was very appreciative of my efforts and would
regularly invite me to be his guest when he had a gig in the
area or the occasional BBQ at his house.
One day, McKinley asked me to stop by his house as he need help
'moving some furniture around'. When I rang his bell, to my
surprise Mick Jagger answered the door. Mick, Keith Richards,
Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts were all in his living room. As I
learned later, they occasionally made a visit to his house when
they were in town. Morgan had a huge spread of his BBQ laid out
and I was invited to stay and listen to him and the 'boys', as
he always referred to them, jam and tell stories for hours.
Afterwards, Mick invited me and a guest of my choosing as VIP
guests with backstage passes at their concert later in the week.
A great day!

Records: Ditka son's DUI charge upgraded to felony[/center]
A drunk-driving charge against Michael P. Ditka, the son of
former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka, has been upgraded to a
felony because of two previous charges of drunken driving
against him in Lake County, court and police documents show.
Court documents from Cook County also show that the younger
Ditka had another prior DUI arrest in Cook County – bringing his
total to at least four.

I will forever be jealous. When I lived in the Chicago area my
nearest "celebrity neighbor" was Sam Giancana, though he never
invited me in to listen to him and his boys tell any stories.

This morning at 6:30 I boarded a train from Springfield to
Chicago (Joliet) to pick up a bus for the school. Big mistake.
You don't get on a train to Chicago on the day the Cardinals are
playing the Cubs there. More people were on the platform than
greeted the Lincoln funeral train 150 years ago. That train was
loaded with Cubbie blue and Cardinal red. Hardly a seat on the
thing. Cardinal and Cub fans actually had to sit next to each
other. Talk about tension.

Andy -- Holy Cow, what a story/experience!! Tell us more about
that, about some of the stories/anticdotes, etc. Man oh man.
Unrequited love -- a persistant theme in the blues, and one
which "Got My Mojo Workin'" really drives home. Such a great
song, and done by Muddy and the "boys", it really shines. The
singer/narrator is off to Louisiana to get him a mojo hand and
some advice from the gypsy woman, to "have all you women here at
my command." So he gets it, the mojo hand, and so goes the call
and response, which is another blues constant. Back and forth,
Got my mojo workin' (Got my mojo workin') Got my mojo workin' .
. . and it builds with each back and forth, leading up to the
climax, the abrubt ending . . . "But . . . IT . . . JUST . . .
WON'T . . . WORK . . . ON . . . YOU!" Wow.
