Here is a photo of Ziggies Sunday Night Blues Jam from back around 1985. This is the longest running blues jam in the country.
Second from left is the late Bobby Hornbuckle, a local blues legend who died in 1995 of blues disease: Hepatitis and addiction. His sons Michael and Brian are great players in the local blues scene. Bobby was really something.
SPECIAL GUEST: Gary Small is a Native American blues artist out of Sheridan, Wyoming. He developed his blues chops in Portland, Oregon playing with greats like Curtis Salgado and the late Paul De Lay. Gary's band -- The Coyote Brothers -- won the Wyoming Blues Challenge and represented the Wyoming Blues and Jazz Society at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis this year. He gets tremendous tone and emotion from his Telecaster guitar.
For the first time in months I won't have the Memphis Mini amp on stage at the jam tonight. I loaned my amp to a pro harp player for a week or so. Tonight I'll have the Mission Delta Sonic amp. Killa vintage tweed tone. Come play it.
The Sunday Night Jam at Ziggies is presented by The Mile High Blues Society.
