Well, me being someone who missed my true calling in life, being a professional drummer....I LOVE music, especially modern blues/classic rock. Double Trouble is THE best rythym section...hands down! Chris "Whipper" Layton and Tommy Shannon ROCK! For those of you with great taste in music, like those who have previously posted, check out Chris Duarte and Susan Tedeschi. Chris has a very SRV sound to him and I wouldn't kick Susan out of the bed for eating crackers in it (if 'ya know what I mean...LOL), besides she has a killer smoky blues voice and can play wicked guitar, very Bonnie Raitt like. And check out the Derek Trucks Band (the son of Butch Trucks, drummer for the Allman Bros.)

It was SRV. Clapton tells the story in that SRV tribute video. I regret the loss of many talented individuals "before thier time" over the years, some even before my time. But it's especially tough about Stevie Ray. Hendrix was certainly a tragic loss for us blues rock guitar fans, but he kinda did it to himself. Stevie almost drank himself to death but snapped out of it. Only to have a mountain jump out in front of the chopper he was just a passenger in. He sooooo didn't have it coming.

JBT (John Butler Trio)..... one word.
AMAZING.
andym and I saw them live here in California this past summer with some friends he blew our minds.
That man's got a gift, not to mention an incredibly humble spirit.
If you can ever find a live bootleg of the song "Ocean" you'll just die. It's beautiful. Good luck though, the song was never released.
