I've had this poster up everywhere I've been (hence the wear and tear) cause I like the MAN! I spell it, "Mmmm..MAAANNNN!"

Well, you get the picture.

Saiichi (see "bio") came up with a Muddy Waters song I had never heard which went straight in when we played it: "The Letter." What a knockout of a boogieing song it is! It has a snappy break in it that gives the drummer the opportunity to do the most syncopated fill I've ever played in a blues song. And it's a real rocker in the bargain.

"I...got a letter.......just the other day......my baaaaaby's comin' home she said....." Oooohh, I love it!

"And I feel so good......I feel so GOOOD!" and on it goes. What a pelting song it is. You can't sit still while it's being played.

We only rehearsed the song twice, then played it the next night as an encore at the Half Moon in Putney, and the audience wouldn't let us off the stage. So....we played it again!! They loved listening to it as much as we loved playing it.

I looooove Muddy Waters. So this poster has a lot of miles and smiles in it.

Except for the funky top, it's in perfect condition, oddly enough.
