 I was privileged last night to hear the Heritage Blues Orchestra live at the College of St Benedict. This band is tight, and a toe tappin', foot stompin' good time was had by all. If you get the chance, don't pass it up.

 That hand jive routine reminded me of Little Willie John back when I was in high school. Also, pretty mean mouth harp.

 He said that hand routine was a "hambone", and was commonly used to keep time when they didn't have a drummer. He asked how many people remembered it, and a show of hands went up, mine included. "Yeah...everyone with grey hair."

That video is a few years old. Unfortunately. I wasn't able to find a more recent one. They have a new female vocalist now - Deva Mahal, daughter of blues artist Taj Mahal. The mouth harp was amazing, as was the lead guitarist, Junior Mack. He really shredded that thing on a couple of tunes. Actually, they were all amazing. It was a great evening.

 These are two old-time blues men. You just have to love it when they're playing...it's hard to keep your feet still.
